Well Madman, maybe u should play with te UIscale ^^

I don't wanna be rude , but your Ui is just too classic, 90% Blizzard Ui (expect for Omen and Sws Stats)
Even though all the information are on your screen, you may be able to find great ideas looking at other screenshots in this thread

Binding your spells improves your playing.

Here's why I made the changes, and why I think it works better this way:

I'll try to pause for a second and take a shot in an arena match, but I think this will probably show you what you're after.

After reading it and looking at it a few times, I'm quite anctious to try it for myself, do you think it would be possible for you to upload it (just because I play a shaman myself as well, and if what you say is true, I can make my arena partners alot happier).

I got bored today, and figured while I still have a couple days left on my account, I'd make a new UI.

Halkyon's UI is nice. But there's no upload yet! What to do, what to do....
Photoshop+Ruler tool to the rescue. I'll give values in pixels, on my monitor (1600x1200) a value of 35px from his SS = 25 in PitBull. For example, the target & player frames are 240x35px, so they become about 170x25 when I put the values into PitBull.
My UI also has a few additional elements:
ElkBuffBars. MiniChat. FlexBar2. SlideBar & FuBar2SlideBar (gets rid of the need for 80 fubar panels, even with the SS many of the FuBar plugins get hidden when not in config mode.) Notes'U'Need. Grid. ArcHud2 (getting removed soon most likely, but it has a great CP display.) Mouseover target. UberQuest's minion is shown, it gets disabled most of the time though.
Things missing:
EEPanels. SLStats. Whatever those Icons are right in the center. I also have bigger castbars for target/focus & moved the self castbar above the party frames for better visibility.

Oh, it's shown with pitbull in config mode, since I didn't want to bother 4 people just for a screenshot. That makes it look a bit messier than it is.



Pixel sizes (width x height) of the various frames from Halkyon's SS:
Player & Target:
240x35
Party:
145x25
Focus & Target of Target:
115x20
Minimap:
110x110
Combat Log:
275x110
Chat:
400x110
Omen:
190x120
Buttons:
375x110
Space between self & target:
210
Space between target and party:
115
Space between party and castbar/action buttons:
40
Space between castbar and chatframes/minimap:
200

That should help. Those sizes do not include the EEpanels borders, they are the sizes of the frames. Oh, and HP bar should be set to size "8" it PitBull.
