That I can see the difference ..
With 2.2 the scaling for wide-screen resolutiosn got changed...to the worse. All fonts got distorted shadows beneath them. I use 1920x1200 and this mod made my fonts readable again. You should try for youself if its better with or without it.

Sethik with your UI, is there any way to show target buffs/debuffs ? Also which mod disables rightclick turning autoshot on? I need to disable that.

After poking around this forum for several days I made a lot of changes to my UI to try to make it better for healing by centralizing all the really important stuff, and here are the current results.

In Raid (note: screenshot taken .1sec before I blew up the raid with Wrath of the Astromancer, thanks to the debuff hitting me at the exact moment I hit "Print Screen", which always freezes my screen for a second or two)




Solo



Primary Addons Used
X-Perl Unit Frames
Trinity Bars
Skinner
Grid
Chronometer
ClearFont2
SimpleMiniMap
TitanBar
SWStats
Omen
Quartz
Dr. Damage
DBM
oRA2
FlagRSP (lawlrp)
PowerAuras (not shown...thought I had Clearcast active when I took SS but I guess not)


Critiques welcome. Here are the changes I already know I want to make:

-Find a better action bar mod. Ew ew ew. Bartender3 didn't really strike my fancy, but I'd love to get rid of the bloaty Trinity. Barring a change in mods, at least figure out why my bags / character info rows aren't aligning right.

-Find or write a Pitbull layout that will accomplish the positive aspects of X-Perl that make it difficult for me to ditch. I imagine I'll have to write it, which will be very time-consuming. Gah.

-Create my own texture to accompany the Skinner frames I had, something nice and girly and elegant in shades of blue, grey, black, white.

-Train myself to use Grid at a smaller scale or find a better placement for it. Also find a better placement for the minimap, buffs, reagents bar, and/or Omen/SWStats.

-Generally cut down on memory usage of addons as much as possible.

Im having problems with Bartender3 after the 2.2patch. The counter on the bars doesnt work anymore, if i pick up a healtstone for example, the icon changes to clear from dark but the counter still shows 0, and same with poison, pots etc. have to spam /reloadui alot atm, to keep track of pots, poison i have (cba to open bags to check em ).

So anyone know whats wrong here? I deleted wtf, cache & interface folders and did my UI again from scratch but the counter still wont work. all addons up-to-date ofc, aceupdater ftw

Very nice - am interested to see what you come with for the Raid.

I went back to agUF but decided to give in and get Pitbull again as I just couldn't do some things with agUF too easily. I quite like what you did with it though, so if the Raid looks shows promise I might give it a shot afterall.

Take a look and give it a chance. Flexbar2

I loved FB before blizz completly destroyed it. It will be loads of work to build a complete UI (compared to e.g. Trinity).
But, I think, as so often, the work will pay. (at least with FB1 it did)

I had this same thing happen to me. I deleted the bartender related files in my WTF folder and completely deleted bartender. Overwriting sometimes doesn't fix these weird problems that pop up. Maybe try that if you havn't already.

One other question, I use SmartDebuff for of course, debuffing and quick healing in a raid. Do you professionals have any other suggestions to replace SDB? I thought Grid may have something to do with it, but really couldn't figure it out.

Cheers for the upload Sethik.

In the UI screenshot you made in AV, what's the cooldown monitor that's showing Viper Sting?

I can answer that, it is part of Cutup, Juliene is the Slice N Dice timer. You can find Cutup over at the Ace site.

Minimap is allways toggle , just bind a key to simpleminimap in the keybinding option.

Bah, I haven't seen that one before in the key bindings. Thanks.
Any chance of a download of this one? I would like to blatantly steal your color scheme and borders

Working on a Single Mount Button, and Im looking to clean it all up so everything is more uniform with frames and borders.

...

this is my current project, I like the top center map with Unit frames, but I find it a issue with placing of my (bossmods, PVP display, other info that appears up there.

Im thinking about an autohide bar for my (pots, drinks, food, bandages) and another for my (bloodlust, nature swiftness, res, recall) The totem Addon is really great, and i havent found anything quite like it as far as ease of use and performance. I can separate the buttons for totems from the sphere and place the big sphere elsewhere.

I would like a minimalistic feel, but I dont want to loose all my information.

-For example the Combat log only displays during raids.
-Chat only shows a few lines, untill i expand it.
-Different buff bar
-anything else that would help athestics
I would suggest using Geist or something to hide a few of your more unnecessary/lesser used buttons. Do you really need the Find Herbs button out while in combat? Water Walking? Your mount? What I do with all that stuff is either bind them to keys and hide the button completely, or at least put them on Geist so they get the hell off my screen until I need them.

I like how you framed your buttons with the info bars and your casting bar, though.

Only things I dont really like is the minimap placement, as well as showing the empty buttons in your bar mod.
