Would you mind sharing your UI? I really like your grid.

Thanks!

New widescreen monitor let me change my UI up and get some more space.
May still change T, ToT, ToToT frames (size/positioning).

The combat picture is bad, I forgot to take one during a boss fight in a raid, so I'll have one up soon enough.

The bars that are hidden in the out of combat picture just fade out when I'm not in combat, and the 'quick bar' I have above the unit frames will show on mouse over even when out of combat. Further, I have the buttons of that bar configured individually to be of different sizes, more important abilities/clickies are larger! I quite like that functionality.

Main addons are:

Pitbull
LuckyCharms (symbol bar that shows up when given assist/leader in a group/raid)
sRaidFrames
Squeenix (minimap)

Trinity Bars

Wouldt It be an idea to keybind raidicons to the numpad(I did) so you can get rid of that addon ?
Looks nice and functional none the less

Current UI, in heavy action (1 second before death).



Primarily custom Nurfed for unitframes/HUD/actionbars and spell alert. Buffalo for buffs.
Was very happy when I figured out how to remove keybindings from the actionbars.

When idle, it looks like:

Not good imo, having all that crap on one side of the screen is a real eyesore.

I think there is a way to make side information look good but the large blocks of blue are not helping

Show me on the paper doll where the devs nerfed you.

You could try using the viewport commands to set the rendered area to just the left side. That would make it a bit cleaner.

Aperture (iirc) from wowace is a simple way to do this.

Is that buffalo 2? I have it installed atm but I don't find it very enjoyable to work with or very customizable, I might switch back to the original.

It's ElkBuffBars actually, just changed the options so it would show the timer but not the bar

Not exactly interested in taking my mouse hand off the mouse to put up icons. That'd take significantly more physical readjustment than just moving my mouse down an inch and clicking the icons, mainly the skull is what I'll be using mid-combat and such. (As opposed to moving the whole hand from my mouse)

I recently discovered Baud Mark, which pops up a little radial menu with all of the raid icons around your cursor. Maybe you'd like it?

Now that is a phenomenal addon. I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it will be excellent, and I plan to install it immediately! Thank you.

Here's a better combat screenshot of my UI also, by the way, still in progress though.

This is the happiest I've been with my UI in a long time. Many thanks to all the posters in this thread as I have shamelessly stolen a lot of ideas and aspects of various people's interfaces.

I want to post some update but I haven't changed much since some months.
I am very happy with my interface only changing the border-file from time to time.
It makes the whole interface look different.

All the borders are done with the tooltip-border-texture.
I have the same texture around my buffalo buttons and the pitbull buff icons too.

I can certainly see why you'd be very happy with that. Looks very smooth and organized, gives alot of the needed information, yet in no way does it seem cluttered. Good job

Do you want to share your UI by making a upload?

These 4 shots are my various UI's, switching between them accomplished by the wonders of diospadreFu. Unitframes and general layout obviously heavily influenced by and stolen from Caith. At this point I'm not entirely happy with the FuBar displays under the minimap or the smallish size of the castbars on my raid UI.

My normal UI featuriing Speedy, followed by PvP, Raid, and solo doing nothing:

Just a general question concerning UI, Macros and Keybindings.

I have two computers that I play WoW on. Is there a way to transfer my configurations en masse from one computer to the other, including keybindings, macros, UI components and settings?

I get the feeling it's copying the WTF folder, but it might be larger than that, which is why I ask.
