I love what you did with grid!

Ahh, it's very clear now, many thanks for explaining it so well, I'll also be taking this for use on my interface.

This been uploaded anywhere yet?

I loved the way you had your buffs set up so i downloaded the mods you said you were using. How do i actually get Dreamlayout to work in conjunction with Buffalo. When i look in my mods list it says its missing a dependency. Do I have to put the dreamlayout in the Buffalo folder?

Thanks a lot.

I like it, is that grid?

Press escape and go to the keybindings menu. You can assign hotkeys to most anything this way; just look for things like ActionBar2 or something. It's done the same way if you use the default Blizzard bars or if you use something like Bartender or (I assume) Bongos.

If you're brand new to UI tinkering, I'd really suggest you not download a compiled packaged UI that someone else made. Start small with addons like DoTimer, FuBar and a couple of Fu plugins, maybe grab a bar mod such as Bartender3. That will give you enough stuff to customize without overwhelming yourself.

Judging by the corner indicators, I'd say yes.

Great idea. I'll need to go and give it a try.

Could you perhaps expand on it a bit further than you've done before ?
Whilst I've gone n fiddled with addons, I haven't done any editing whatsoever.

For example, where exactly would I find the tooltip-border-file ?

Only search results I got for "tooltip" or "border" were inside the addon folder already.

Yes that is correct. If you only want the tooltip-border changed without any addons you can do so by only using the tooltip-folder under interface.

The one file you are looking for is called: "UI-Tooltip-Border.blp"

BLP is a graphic-file-format that can be converted into TGA-files and back with a BLP2TGA converter (just look for one on curse.com or use Google).
If you got some graphic program that is capable of handling alpha channels you can edit the TGA-files to your liking. After that just convert them back to BLP.

If you name the BLP file like I did above it will be used in the default UI and "some" addons will find it, but some don't. Why? Well I didn't knew that either but I got lucky and found the rather simple reason. Its important to know how the file is called, if the source reads like this: xyz = "Interface/Tooltips/UI-Tooltip-Border" it will use the original Blizzard tooltip-border. But if you change it to: xyz = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border" it will work properly.

Now you can run everything with just changing the default tooltip and use just that one file, but if you want another border for some specific addon, just create another BLP and name it to sth like "MyOwnTooltip.blp" and save it into the Tooltips folder. Now you just have to edit your addon, find all the lines where the default tooltip is called and rename it like this: xyz = "Interface\\Tooltips\\MyOwnTooltip". Thats it. It gives you the opportunity to create multiple borders-types.

That did make it a fair bit clearer.

I'll go n give it a shot when I've a couple hours to kill. I've got Photoshop, so the TGA file shouldn't be a problem.

Would it be possible to make it a gradient instead of one solid colour ?
That would seriously make it a lot easier than EEPanels as, to my understanding, you'd need to layer 2 backgrounds on top of each other to achieve that.

Very cool! I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the font used when you type your username and password in. I want to replace that font.

Yes you can do gradients, but have in mind that the border is very small. I think you only got 1-6 pixel to play with (depends on how thick you draw your border).
The cool thing is, not even can you add a gradient, you can add a alpha gradient too.

Ok, I have to preface this with...You guys ROCK! Thanks for all the great ideas. I have my interface customized, I love it, but one problem is how to configure prat to only show me in my combatlog. I just want to see things that happen to me or by me, and not anything else. I hate constantly seeing "joesmuck creates x potion" or others stuff. but I cannot seem to get prat to only show me. Would appreciate any help.

Not in the picture:
right chatwindow is raid/party/guild/class chans etc.
cast- and enemycastbar under the unitframesa
combopoints between enemycastbar and unitframes

and other stuff like recount .. advanced tradeskill window .. BigWigs ... XRS .. and much more

atm i'm guildless but the raidscreen comes in a few days .

comments and suggestions are welcome ..

It sure it. Using bars in a horizontal layout and GridManaBars, also in a horizontal layout. I like it cause it has the compactness of grid, with the awesome corner indicators, but still gives the traditional unitframe look.

The chat is minichat, and it's alpha is 0% when minimized. It maximizes when someone whispers me, or someone talks in a certain channel.

Also, thanks Zork for the tooltip customizing. It made my UI soooo easy to create, and looks really good.

Edit - Raid:

Just recently made the switch from ag_UF to Pitbull, and I'm liking it =)

I've searched high and low, but what is that tracking mod you have for your minimap?

Going to have another minor reshape of my UI this weekend (uni essay keeping me occupied :<) so i'll post something later.

Here is my current UI, its a modified version of CrowUI!

For Ryas:

Are you going to make your latest UI setup downloadable for the masses?
