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
What cooldown timer is that, with the icons on the right?

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.

never mind, I found out the answer myself.

For other curious minds, the addon is called SL TimeX.

Why do you put such an unimportant bunch of information right into the center of your viewing? Do you really need to keep track of your fps at _all_ times?

Imo: Information that is not needed all the time should be put to the edges or side-areas and important stuff in the center of the screen.

Some fresh shots from my current UI:
Party
- surl.se/fsyd
Raid
- surl.se/fvgt

To each their own. For some people, putting info on the sides is a distraction.

Focus frame goes above the damage metters, the mod on the left of Omen is ReadySpells that I haven`t figured out yet how to change the borders and I still need to get Grid to show curhp/maxhp on the second line.
