I haven't used pitbull in a long time, but IIRC, there is a 3d portrait option in pitbull.

The number of buffs in pve raid can be quite daunting, as the number grows, your view will be severally blocked.
I agree. I wasn't really sure where to put them so that's just where they ended up for the time being.

I went and tested the pitbull 3d portraits myself, there very very nice, only problem is the 3D portrait is restricted to the health or power bar, meaning when i put it ontop of my health bar, my health bar height goes down and when i make the power bar bigger it takes up more health bar (it grows up when you increase the height). For some reason i cannot get it liek Sethik's, a nice sized portrait with a visible and big health and mana bar. Wish there was a way to unlock it and such, but, Sethik if you see this, help appreciated freind =).

Also i would like to add, i just got the addon visualthemes and for some reason in pvp it says "this addon has been blocked by blizzard ui, to turn it off hit disable and reload ui". Something around those lines it says, i keep hitting ignore but it keeps comming back, how can i fix this? Anyone have an idea?

Here's what I have come up with after tinkering with my UI for months. I really like Zork's border/layout so I just made it my own. There's still a few things I would like to change, but I'll get to it in due time. (Borders around trinkets, more precise placement, raid frames, etc)

Mine is still a work in progress but obviously based on Halkyon's.

Not happy with the unit frame text anymore. It's not the font so much, I'm fine with that...it's the placement of the name. I may have to use more contrast or just move it fully inside or outside of the frame.

Nope that's the resolution I Play. I got a real small screen and I play with a .64 scale setting.

With christmas I might get a Samsun 223 or 226 BW or something like that. 22" :P Just have to keep spamming my dad with it!

Some variation could look like this:


You can filter buffs and debuffs with pitbull too, so you dont need that ugly buff thing to the right.

On this screen (http://zorktdmog.zo.funpic.de/roth_u...407_041302.jpg) you can see filtered buffs over my playerframe, you can filter debuffs too. This would only show "your" debuffs.

Basically this setup is what my current one looks like, too. Not that nicely in colours and such, but it's the same setup for unit frame sizes and positioning.

Problem is: I can't get rid of my powerbar text, i start missing it badly, every time i disable it. But a layout like this lives from it's simplicity and showing any more text based information messes it up, somehow.

Another problem i have: I also use Pitbulls Raidframes, moving debuffs/buffs to another position doesn't work at all, if i want to show buffs on raidframes (wich is quite needed as a healing class). Since those buffs are moved, too. And are way off.

Any ideas ?

I guess i HAVE TO use other raidframes for my second problem?

Originally i downloaded Tapestrys last release, then took inspiration from Seki's UI. Been playing around with it for about 2 weeks now and im reasonably happy with it, except recap which looks a little out of place.

Finding somewhere to put the minimap ended up becoming my biggest concern, but i found that i could change its alpha to about 35-40% and herbs etc would still pop up at 100% alpha. This meant that for the most part the minimap is barely visible yet still there when i need to farm herbs etc.

Also, i had the same problem as you Duncan if im understandning you correctly. I really need to be able to see my energy clearly as a rogue so i just removed the name text from my player frame and replaced it with the power text - after all, its not as if i need to be constantly reminded of my characters name:P

Clean:



Raid: (not sure about recount positioning, im trying it in the top left corner now without the eepanel background)

Eh, I'm kinda liking the sort of, overlaying stuff on my bars. However, I may take your advice and go back to the pitbull auras.

You should change the colour of the font on the party frames. White on white as with the priests makes it hard to read.

Other than that, still looking good!

Very nice work Ryas. I love how you added your typical Ryas style to a Halykon style layout. Nice work Savantido. I like the new style and layout.

I am working on a new version of my UI. I will post a screenshot when I get to a point I am happy with. I am still waiting for the new Halkyon release to borrow those sexy textures.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Why is your target of target frame given such prominence? Additionally, what's the giant water breathing icon?

Fabulous work as always... I must say though I liked the previous version of the Unit Frames a bit better, even though they seemed to be much more complicated... After I get off my clean and as close to default UI kick I'm on I might go through and recreate them if you dont mind

What is this interface called? I know you can just "make something like it" but I prefer to look at someone's actual setup then diagnose the layout like that, so I know how to do it... or is it possible for the original poster to put a link to where I can download the interface? Thanks.
