Don't you think the block of huge graphics in the middle of your screen kind of blocks your view of what's going on?

- surl.se/fuef
Go into config-mode and resisze the width of the unitframes until they match the buffs.

Had full Dreadnaught on in AV for fun. Got stuck in combat @ Drek and couldn't put on regular gear, so tanked Drek in it, too.

Still fiddling with minor things in the UI, but this is the same basic setup I've had for a while. It gives me a ton of information, which is what I like!

Things I need to add, and saying here so maybe I wont forget: Target's % of HP

Nice work!

Just a question: Which bags addon you use?

Not totally done, but getting close.

Most of the work is done by Rekcinad, so big kudos to him!



I have a few questions that boggle my mind. If anyone could solve them that would be awesome.

First of, I'm trying to Anchor the eePanel-frame I use for Omen to Omen itself (that makes sense hopefully) but every time I do it resizes the Omen to a size that only covers the headings of Omen (the name/threat/TPS part) and not any of the bars at all. Any way to solve this?

Secondly, I'm looking for a Skinner-like add-on. Just not Skinner, since I've had some bad experiences with Skinner giving errors, hogging memory and generally being a pain. Are there any alternatives?

I'm currently using Wardrobe (version 1 still) but looking for a replacement, I tried Wardrobe2 but it was too spammy in my chat log (equipped MOUNTED, unequipped MOUNTED). I really can't live with that kind of spam. So I'm looking for the most reliant, silent wardrobe-addon.
I've heard of ItemRack. Is there anything else?

Terrified. Mortified. Petrified. Stupefied... by you!

One of the best iterations of that layout I've seen. Nice work, Tap.

If I got around as often as that configuration does these days, I'd have at least 11 identifiable STDs by now. >.>

The way I did it was to Anchor the panel to "OmenAnchor" and then open up some test bars and size the panel manually, I do not think it is possible to have the frame resize as bars are created.

Closetgnome, extremely lightweight/simple to use, and has a variety of plugins to recognize events like mounting and such.

You have 2 options:

1) You could do the border trick. Create your own tooltip-border-texture and put it somewhere under your Interface-Folder.

Go to the Omen.lua and change the two entries that contain "Tooltip-Border" to your match your texture-file-location. Don't forget to use \\ instead of / or it won't find it. Should look like:
"Interface\\AddOns\\MyTextures\\MyTooltip1"

Start WoW (reloadui will not work if you just copied the texture), go to Omen-config and change the Border-Color to white and 100% visibility. The border-texture will scale perfectly.

2) Use eepanels scripts
http://www.wowace.com/wiki/EePanels_Scripts

Make an eePanel resize when another frame is resized

ChatFrame1 is used in this example, though you may substitute it for any frame, or another eePanel. NOTE: This requires AceHook to be loaded, which isn't included with eePanels2! Either make sure an addon that uses AceHook is loaded before eePanels or add an addon that uses AceHook to the OptDeps line in the eePanels2 TOC.
function THIS_Hook:OnSizeChanged(frame, ...)
	THIS:SetWidth(frame:GetWidth())
	THIS:SetHeight(frame:GetHeight())
end
THIS_Hook:HookScript(OmenAnchor, "OnSizeChanged")

These are pretty and all, but, anyone's UI can look good when not in a raid. Be nice if people would post in-use screenshots rather than screenshots with half your UI turned off.

//edit:

Tenelov - is that DaHUD as well ?

If so, Gogusrl and Tenelov - how did you edit away the borders ? Same way Zork edited his ?
The ones from the Hp/Mp bars ? Change the Frame Texture in Bars Frames from Double to Center.

Range check and combat fader don't work well together ... maybe you have enabled them both?

True but isn't it a bit redundant having both a HUD and unit farmes?

I used do the same thing (I used Ice HUD) but always liked the look of unit frames. For the sake of cleanliness, I decided to give up the HUD.

I can see several ways you could trim the "fat" from your UI, even in a raiding sense.

Do you really need your buff bar timers that big? How about the combat text? I know it looks cool and all but with a combat log, how aften are you REALLY looking at all those numbers flowing up and down the screen (espcially when there's so much damage). I used to love all the scrolling but realized it was just fluff for me and trimmed down what I really needed to see in my battle text settings.

I'm not trying to be mean or overly critical but it seems you're a bit down on the minimal look of things when it's actually very easy to have a great minimal look in a very active raid setting.
