Just redid it and it's not completely done, but almost there!

I'm just looking to somehow skin my Totemus, if it's even possible, to match my CyCircled Buttons.

My Target frame is to the right a bit of my player frame and the Target of Target is centered floating above the two. So it looks a bit odd due to not having a target right now :P

I had two key requirements: when walking around town I wanted all of the busy mess I needed for raids to disappear, and in a raid I wanted everything I need to be looking at to be organized according to how much attention I need to pay it.

For the first, herb picking:


For the second, mid-raid:


I have since found a buff-organizing mod that I'm using instead to sort buffs and debuffs according to the same priorities. Basically, if all I care about is my cycles my eye never needs to leave the box to the left of my bars. If something goes wrong it darts down to my cooldowns just to the left of that, which are otherwise faded out. If I'm doing raid-leadery stuff it jots to the right, where I have since moved Grid to be next to the cooldowns and chat log. And bigwigs pops up right above my unit bars.

Looks like the Quartz Target buff thingy.

Go to Rock - Quartz - Buff - Target and disable it or move it where you want to The one for focus is there to.

Oh, man, why didn't I think of putting a FuBar for the tracking mod in/by the minimap? I'm so stealing that.

You say that makes it look odd. I say it's your Hello Kitty Wallpaper. But that's just me.

Hello everyone,
due to a recent misfortune of mine my old WoW account said farewell never to return but that ain't being the reason I'm addressing you all now. Luckily it is "only an online game account" so I went and bought another one, cryed some for the old one and eventually, as expected, started a new class I never played before and thus so a new UI is was created. Take note that it is just a lvl 20 char so it's not an interface for a space shuttle but i did my homework, read virtually infinite number of UI related forum posts and seen half as many UI screen shots other people created and trying to develop some fresh ideas based on what i seen. As i mentioned I'm a long time WoW veteran but this is first time I ever got a warlock past lvl 3 or something and as experience thought me a good UI, developed for your class is a cornerstone for good game and enjoying the time played.



What would I highlight here? Well for start after 3 days of reading on the issue, and vast previous personal experience, this is the first time I see a chat frame in an upper corner of the screen. Think about it, how important that chat frame is in any demanding task? Not much, most of the time you will be on some voice com for thing like that. I think we can all agree that the bottom part of the screen mainly gets your attention rather than an upper corner where everyone seem to put crucial things, such as focused unit frame for example. Needless to say how while it can look "pretty" and feel everything has its place its just totally unpractical and still a lot of people tend to scatter things that actually function best piled up together in some logical fashion for easier and wider information gathering and faster acting on it, logically resulting in better performance. Nothing new there. If you feel like chating any corner is suitable for a chat frame but one and half of a second it takes you to glance at something that could take no time at all will lose you an arena match god damn it, and probably by a someone who knows you out of the game and will laugh at you when pass by on the street, and that sucks big time Somehow I feel I made a very efficient UI, even at this point, while greatly maintaining its versatility and some visual harmony, it doesn't feel an esthetically pleasing sight too.



If we look at the slide number two we can see all the addons used to create this UI, someone will find it useful, and while I'm in no doubt my idea is brilliant it still lacks one important thing. Experience, and that's the reason for this post, to share ideas and get some back. Very simple, I would love to hear opinions, the more the better, hopefully from someone who played a warlock for a longer period to shoot me a comment and/or point out if I'm missing something UI related or you got a way better solution, if there is maybe some flaw in it or just to say I'm totally fine and probably should cut back on crack smoking a bit and relax thank you for reading, cya!

Going to ask again, can anyone point me in the right direction of where I can get the Pitbull layout that Halycon is using? I've seen it in a couple of other UI pics so I'm guessing it's not just his alone, yet I don't see anything like it on the WowAce thread for Pitbull layouts. Would be greatly appreciated.

I think his are made himself, that would require either mimic-ing or downloading his ui and taking his saved varibales and such. Thats as far as i know.

His UI layout is his own. It's not one that he took from another site. There have been few UI's based off of his that have been posted since then that were created to emulate his layout (mine included). So far none of these have been posted or made available. Hal said that he would prepare and upload his UI at some point twice in this same thread. Patience is a virtue.

If you read my post with my UI in it there's some information there that may help you recreate Hal's UI on your own. I'd recommend trying it, it'll tide you over and you may just learn something.

I wasn't asking for the full UI layout, just his Pitbull info in regards to how those unitframes look. Could have sworn I've seen those frames before, guess I was mistaken. Thanks.

I'd imagine they look familiar because the configuration is pretty standard as far as unitframes go - 2 bars, name, hp/mp quantities. If you're referring to the textures, those are my own creation and will be shared with the UI, and separately as well.

1024x768 really, Led? What do you scale your UI down to? Or is the screenshot just resized?

I guess what would help is some sort of listing of all published Pitbull layouts available. The thread in the WoWAce boards seems to be rather lacking in this regard. I can move mods and use eePanels just fine. Is the layout you are using for your own re-make your own? Is this required nowadays in making it possible to make your own UI?

I start with the default pitbull layout, and drag, frames, resize bars, recolor bars, and texture it. I imagine most do the same.

I loved the layout of Hal's UI so I took it and threw in a few things I liked from the Tapestry 11.2 UI and this is what I got.



I am taking no credit for this since it was basically an attempt to recreate Hal's UI so all thanks go to him.

I have one suggestion to make.

Isn't it better if you can move your buffs from top of your player frame to somewhere else?

The number of buffs in pve raid can be quite daunting, as the number grows, your view will be severally blocked.

Hey, question to Sethik, since you dont use the addon zmodelcitizen for your 3D portraits on you unitframes, im going to guess its pitbull. I didnt know pitbull can do those kind of 3d portraits, its all in the pitbull rock config to do what you did with your 3D portraits right?
