-The seemingly separate health and mana bars were done with the Blank Bar feature in Pitbull. To get outlines on these I used a combination of a custom texture and attached eePanels.

-The numbers and letters after the target's name are DogTags that indicate how many debuffs and which curses are up, this is pretty much a replacement for the Demon addon. The tags for it are here:
[NumDebuffs:HideZero] [HasAura(Curse of Shadow) ? Text(S):Fuchsia][HasAura(Curse of the Elements) ? Text(E):Red][HasAura(Curse of Recklessness) ? Text(R):Yellow]
[HasAura(Curse of Tongues) ? Text(T):Green]
-The damage, crit, and haste stats on the player bar are from an addon called StatBlocks with a modified CasterStats module to account for my Devastation talent.

-The font used is called ITC Conduit TT Bold.

Hopefully that'll preemptively answer your questions, pm me if you have any others. I'll upload it here in the next week probably.
You've outdone yourself this time man. This is hawt.

I totally love the idea of separating out the elements of the unit frames and how you've arranged them. The little touch of having the tiny threatmeter under the ToT really squeezes my lemon as well.

You sir have just had some ideas stolen!

My memory usage was up to around 50mb which seemed to really effect my loading times so I converted most of the larger ones over to small specific ones (with the exception of a few I don't feel I can do without: Pitbull, Parrot, Grid, Quartz etc), but I'd like some help from the people here as to what else I can replace.

Specifically I'm looking for two things; A replacement for SimpleCombatLog and MoneyFu. Are there any good combat log mods out there? With the changes to the combat log system next patch this might be a moot point, but I couldn't find anything more simplistic then SimpleCombatLog. I ditched Fubar since I didn't use that many plugins to begin with but I got addicted to MoneyFu to manage my gold. Make sure I didn't lose too much each day, and could track which characters had what amount of gold. I searched and searched for a mod that has some of the same features but most were indepth auditing mods with way more information than I actually needed.

Heres my current UI. Not a great screenshot, but it shows the addon list. I stole the idea for most of it from this thread, and had to hand edit a lot of mods.



TODO: Fix the border on pitbull buff/debuffs, maybe replace itemrack and parrot for smaller equiv mods.

I Think you can replace Parrot by MSBT and perhaps Quartz by AzCastbar coupled with ClassTimer.

Eavesdrop is wonderfull. But, remember that in 2.4, many combat log parsers will stop working if they are not 2.4 compliant.
In 2.4, WoW combat log will look like Nurfed one and I don't think we will need to replace it with an addon anymore.

I can't help you there. I'm using MoneyFu too.

Itemrack can be replaced by Baud Gear and Parrot by MSBT.

Very Nice UI (too crowded in the middle for me)

Yeah it is very crowded in the middle/center. I sort of made it that way since thats where my attention is 90% of the time and tried to put as much important information as close to the center as possible. Problem is theres a lot of important information. My cast bar is about in the center of the screen (40 pixels down or so) with my debuffs lined up under it. The enemy cast bar is about 150 pixels above my head and above that is the icon version of spell alert, then above that the notification area of parrot which I pipe a lot of message through.

Thanks a lot for the tips I'll try convert over to all of those mods and see how I like them.

By default, MSBT is a standalone addon which come with 4 scrolling areas (inc, out, notification, "the last one I forgot"). I even think it's possible to create new ones. So, you'll be able to dispatch the informations more.

Since I've had to give several people temporary bans today, I guess I need to again point out again that this thread has rules. (I do however want to thank those who have complied over the past few pages. The thread has never looked better or more useful.)

1. You'll post your UI and you'll list what mods you're using. If you're especially nice, you'll make an upload available. Asking for comments on your UI is also allowed. If you can't provide a mod list or an upload, just keep your UI to yourself.

2. If you don't do the above, you'll make comments about someone else's UI AND THAT'S IT. Send questions and requests via PRIVATE MESSAGING.

Wanted to comment I like your setup of Unitframes using Pitbull and ZMC as inspired by Tapestry. Myself I use pUF with Hal's textures but do want to use the ZMC instead of the portrait. Now you have inspired me.

This is my first time making a UI, so please forgive my noobness. I appreciate any comments or suggestions for improvement.

This is what I started with (raid).


This is my current WIP (solo).


I like the direction it's heading and there's a lot more that I want to do with it. I've switched to Grid and placed that temporarily above the chat log. I plan on changing to prat soon, but I wanna take it one mod at a time!

UI Mods Used:
Bartender3
CML
Grid (not visible)
PitBull 2.0
Quartz
simpleMinimap

@Covet:
Prat, a minimap mod, and something to skin your buffs, and I think that UI is solid and good to go.

Thanks! I added Simple Minimap towards the end of the night. I really only made it square though, lol. Prat is probably next on my list of mods to set up. I've also got a ways to go for layout. My immediate goal was just to get the basics set up.

Any suggestions for buffs? I'll do a bunch of searching here today as well. I'll probably start toying around with Buffalo. What I'd really like is a mod that will let me configure my de/buffs and my target's de/buffs. I just can't stand the way pitbull shows them.

I've personally been using Buffalo, switched over from EBB a month ago and liked the change. The bars took up too much space, I prefer having just the icons. I also disliked Pitbull's buffs/debuffs, but once I turned the border coloring off and made them tiny I could stand them. Buffalo works nicely for your toon's buffs/debuffs, but cannot show target buffs/debuffs.

Download from here.

I've made a few changes since the last post, but mostly just positioning. I would have liked to put borders on the raid frames, however eepanels was a little buggy with them. There are probably a few tweaks that can still be made (move the minimap/meter/log?) but this should be enough for anyone who is interested in using it. If you modify anything or do anything neat with this send me a PM I'd be curious to see it.

Hey guys, I have been playing WoW for a few months and haven't gotten interested in doing major styling to my UI. I was told to post here from the official forums. I don't intend to bring any drama here so I'll just post.

http://xs225.xs.to/xs225/08126/wowsc..._031717584.jpg

What I want to do is hide those minimap buttons. I also want to make pitbull's raid frames sort by class but have two columns at the same time. For the longest time I was searching for a theme for my UI and I stumbled upon this awesome texture and font combination, so I am stuck with it now.

Can you see what happens to your character?

It seems to be JUST blocked by your player unitframe and target unitframe.
