I have been doing a good amount of UI work for a week or so. Mainly, attempting to clean up my UI and create some space on my screen. The most trouble I have run into thus far has been the positioning of Bartender3, X-Perl, and minimap (using Squeenix). I have tried manually moving these frames, but it always ends up appearing 'off'. My question to those more familiar to the art of UI design and addons: Is there currently an addon that can center frames? If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to centering my UI?

Some kind of grid would be awesome, I'd imagine you could do one with skinner. :p

There is an addon for this. I want to say that it is Ace2, but I can't seem to recall the name. It made grid lines on your screen.

See you, auntie.

I was thinking of playing with Skinner, but I am still new to it. I have also thought about using my HUD as a guide and using Quartz's centering ability as another guide.

It's called Align, http://www.wowinterface.com/download...231-Align.html

Hmm. I will definatly look into this, Apate.

Align does the gridlines-on-screen thing. It's not ace2 - fortunately, an addon that small wouldn't win anything from being ace'd - and it's great for visually positioning things with good accuracy, I'd hate trying to configure my current UI without using it. Very much recommended to anyone using custom bars & unit frames of any sort to get them decently, well, aligned...

You might also want to look at Visor2 and Visor2GUI from wowace: they basically let you manually edit things like the coordinate values, width, height and so on of every UI element you have which can be very helpful for fine-tuning. It's basically like Discord Frame Modifier of old, albeit considerably less GUI'd and more dependent on /commands or external .luas for anything complicated.

Thanks a lot for the link, darchrys. Align is looking great.

Thanks for the suggestions and help. I've moved my UI quite a bit and it is looking very nice.

 

Apate

I searched for Align, but on the wrong site

See you, auntie.

Oh man I can't count the number of times I've wished for something like this. My OCD thanks you.
