Ok, here's mine:

In raid:

Main addons:
Pitbull
NECB
Bartender3
FuBar
Simple Minimap
Skinner
Omen
Recount
I had aguf before, but i switched to pitbull recently. Performance is not an issue, sadly only resolution I can use is 1024x768, my eyes hate any refresh rate lower then 85Hz.
Any feedback much appreciated.

Not 100% satisfied yet. Thinking of mucking about with a buff mod and might add some panel behind the chat/combat log.

Spent ages looking for a Vertical HUD - found that I've gotten used to it so much that I muck up horridly without (most noticeable on my Rogue with regard to energy restraints). Just really disliked the rest of the HUDs.



There's 2 bars hidden on the right side which show on MouseOver. Mostly contain silly stuff like the Mount, Water, Travelform Macro, professions etc etc. There's one bar hidden fairly in the middle of the screen, which contains some PvP macros/trinkets.

Bartender 3 + CyCircled as Bar mod.
SimpleMiniMap
Changed the fonts in the game
Pitbull (switched from aguf after it kept crashing every time I entered a raid and like some of its features more than I do aguf.)
ShadowHUD
Omen
Decursive
CTMod - though not using it for a lot currently.
EnergyWatch, Outfitter, Chronometer, Deadly Boss Mods, Cooldown Timer, SCT, CleanChat

Think that should be the majority of the important ones anyway.

Quick question for you, and/or anyone else.

Are you using Autobar for the list of consumables to the left of your health/mana?
If so, is it as much of a memory hog for all of you as it is for me? It usually takes up like 2.5mb just idling.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, and no, it doesn't take up that much memory for me. It uses less than 700 KiB. I don't know an exact number because I only have PerformanceFu showing my top 5.

Stupid question, but you may be stupid like I was so here goes... are you using broken/indepedent libraries? Or all you installing everything with externals? Reason being... I used to curse Autobar for its insane memory usage, but I was just installing everything with externals (which only loads the first instance of each library it comes across.) As such, I had a huge amount of memory usage attributed to Autobar because it was first in alphabetical order and lots of mods were using those instances of the libraries themselves =)

If not, disregard my silly anecdote.

Went back to a few versions ago. Did a few tweaks:


Btw, I will be uploading all of my recent UI's in the next few days. Got to the point when I figured rather then deal with the constant PM's accross forums and emails sent to me, I might as well release them and just solve it that way.

Here are the ones I will be releasing:

Original Gradient (Based off Chaya's UI)
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...407_201935.jpg

Minimal (No Gradient)
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...407_191650.jpg

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...607_021307.jpg

Symmetrical Gradient/Bracket
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...807_160241.jpg

And of course the one I am currently using posted above. Debating where to host em though.

Megaupload works quite well, or Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire is okay.

I'm installing with externals which is the default for WAU. I don't quite get what you mean, though I wouldn't say I'm stupid... Should I not be installing with externals, and if I shouldn't be does this mean I need to wipe clean and start over without these externals or does it just make autobar and the like appear to use more memory than they are?

--- Thank you for the clarification Bridonna mucho helpful

Installing with externals is fine, and doesn't affect your memory usage. It will, however, make one addon (the first to install libraries) appear to have higher memory usage.

Eg. Say you have two addons: AutoBar (1MB) and Bartender3 (1 MB). Both use Library A (1 MB).

Memory usage will appear as follows.
With Externals: Autobar (2 MB) Bartender (1 MB)
Without Externals: Autobar (1 MB) Bartender (1 MB) Library A (1 MB)

I just got a new widescreen I almost don't know what to do with all my screen space.

ElkBuffBars. I made a group for my buffs, my debuffs, my target's debuffs (just stuff I can cast), and my focus' debuffs for banish and seduction.

The "UI design" thread gave me a good idea - when you're using the Threat Meter, yer likely not using the MiniMap. So I placed it on top of the MiniMap and told it to show only in Raid/Party.

My minimap is occasionally used in raiding, for example pinging a spawn point of a naga or strider at Lady Vashj or pinging the place I died for a combat ress.

Slightly rare, but enough to warrant it being there I think.

Mini map for me is usually just to locate mine nodes or stuff like that.
