Toggleable party and target unit-frame buffs.
Group Buff Toggle is a lightweight, Blizzard-style addon that places up to 16 beneficial aura icons beside each of four default party-member frames and, independently, up to 16 beside the default target frame. Two familiar Buffs checkboxes make those overlays easy to switch on or off. The checkboxes can also be independently hidden via slash commands.
Both buff displays begin switched off, so installing the addon does not immediately put new buff icons on the screen. Both checkbox-visibility preferences begin on, but a checkbox appears only while its corresponding party or target unit frame is available. The four switches are saved account-wide.
The addon displays buffs only. It does not apply, remove, prioritize, cast, dispel, track remaining durations, show debuffs as a separate list, or automatically choose a target.
