My Rogue UI
 
Tell me what you guys think....
It's a mix of Xperl, Bartender3 and a few little extras



Feel free to post yours!

Nice UI - do you have an energy tick mod, and if so where is it?

Nazer101 04/25/07 4:17 PM

are u combat daggers

Your buttons are needlessly huge and your unit frames are far from the center of your screen.

Odis 04/25/07 4:25 PM

Yea I'm combat daggers. You can see my Armory by clicking my name. The energy tic, if you are or have ever used Xperl is right under my energy bar. When it is at full energy you can't see it but a little electric light goes across the bar when I am using some energy.

I use my mouse most the time unless it is the bottom row, of which I would rather hit the button fast then look for it when using my mouse. Who said anything about centered? I'm merely leaving some extra space for my chat window.

This belongs under Post your 2.0 UI. It is not necessary to make a new topic to show off your UI.

But the whole point of an energy tick is to break your stealth as youre about to regain 20, from full.

Post your UI 2.0

To be constructive.

Hide your bag bar and menu bar. They're unnecessary. For bags/keys my favourite mod is called ENGBags. Find it on curse. Auto-organizes all your stuff.
Switch from Damagemeters to SWS(imo)
Your player frame and minimap frame could be moved up more to the top to free up a little center space.
Could also get Detached Minimap Buttons(on curse) so you don't have all those buttons cluttering up your minimap.
Could hide most of your ability bars, bind the abilities through bindpad, and then only show cooldowns with either a cooldown bar mod, or just showing a bar of 100% cooldown type abilities, in conjunction with OmniCC(on wowace)
You're not targetting anything, so I can't see how your target frame and ToT frame are set up, but I would assume they're in the standard "to the right of player frame" position. If that is indeed the case, I'd recommend moving your player frame and target frame to a more central position. Approximately where your feet are now in that picture.
I'd also recommend setting up a viewport of some sort at least along the bottom. A good mod for that is Skinner(wowace)

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. For a general recommendation, I'd say go look through the thread I mentioned earlier. There's tons of unique and cool ideas you can see there. As it stands, your UI just looks disorganized, messy. A bit of touch up would go a long way. When you've finished making it "look pretty" so to speak, start working on more specialized informational mods.

For a look at what I mean, check out mine: http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=496250

Good Luck!

Sorry I totally missed that post or I would have not created this one. My apologies.

I will look into your tips....I just don't much care for things right in the middle of my screen like some of the people's UI's.

Odis 04/25/07 4:56 PM

hey, BTW..I was in Shatt...looks like the tick does run all the time, just because I couldn't attack anyone in shatt it probably didn't run.

You're a rogue clicker?

For get away abilities and what not yea I am haha. Otherwise I just use 1-5 on the keyboard for my attacks.

Spades 04/25/07 5:22 PM

The Q,E,R,T,Y,F,G,Z,X,C and V keys are all perfectly valid, easy-to-reach keys next to the WASD, and the F1-F-5 keys.
