Been lurking around here for a while, here's my UI:



Being a raid healer I've really been inspired by the posts here putting the raid frames as close to the center of my screen as possible without blocking the view of my character, so I moved my raid frames from the left side of my screen to right below my character.

I also almost died of happiness when I found out that TotemTimers now supports CyCircled.

Comments, tips, suggestions welcome.

If that's Satrina Buff Frames there's an option to scale down the border so it fits the buffs' size. Or is it intentional?

What add-on makes it so you have those transparent borders around the chat frames and other frames?

They were probably made with eepanels.

If you need some other addon, no problem go download it.
If you need some modification, no problem go and edit the lua code.

Anyway, I am just trying to give you some options that you could play with. Nothing more and nothing less.
Hey Zork, Love your UI's and I really wanna try this new setup of yours, but I'm a total tard when it comes to code editing. I know next to nothing about lua specifically. Is there, or can there be, some small guide or examples of how and what to change in these particular .lua files to add / remove / move bars / Unit frames etc etc and such like that?

I understand if you can't provide a full hand holding walk-thru, but ... I just don't get it >< Help :-(

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

Oh! Thanks a lot Zork works like a charm

BTW this line
button:SetPoint("LEFT",_G["MultiBarRightButton"..(i-1)],"RIGHT",5,0);
should be
button:SetPoint("LEFT",_G["MultiBarRightButton"..(i-1)],"RIGHT",6,0);

The spacing between buttons matches the spacing with the Bonus and MutiActionBarBottomLeft/Right :P Its not a huge thing, I am just a guy who really likes having things perfectly aligned.

A couple people have asked me to upload my UI so here it is:

100CentsUI.zip

Keep in mind this is pretty much tailor made for me and this is the only character I play so you'll probably have to do a fair amount of tweaking to get it to work for you.

Lord, beer me strength.

Here's my UI. It's heavily based off of Zork's UI.

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4...8222203yl4.jpg

Ignore the border for Omen, forgot to edit the lua.

Update:

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/498...8000721zd2.jpg

This screen should show a bit more of the features, actually, all of the feature except cast bars and raid frames.

My UI runs at about 22-25MBs while in a raid.

I hardly ever post in this thread but I'm a big fan of the work everyone does. I've been flip-flopping between two different layouts for my hunter, primarily because of the art available for the eepanel on the right side. Neither of these shots are stellar for showing off the UI, but it gets most of it. The casting bar is located directly above the pet action bar, and the ToT is located opposite the pet frame.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...708_003449.jpg

The spacing on this one below is a little wonky. My monitor clips the edges of the screen, however the screenshot included them, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there. For example when I'm playing in-game, the buff frame is lined up almost right on the edge of the screen, and the chat arrows are out of view. I also need to resize things or find something to fill the small void between Omen and Grid.

Here's mine:



I have all of my Bartender3 actionbars on Fadeout, 'cause I like less clutter.

Feedback/criticism is welcome. I'm always tweaking things, and welcome all input.

Try deleting the WTF/config/ file and then restarting wow.

Changed the position of the unitframes after i played with rothui, and the update of pitbull with opaque on all bars made it even nicer

I apologize for any misconceptions in the way I phrased things in terms of Roth's UI: I understand the entire point of why its a bit more to customize it is to decrease memory usage, I'm just finding it difficult to use(guess its time I start investing time in LUA).

What I've decided to do instead, is take parts of his UI, and use the ones I can, to decrease usage. My problem now though(as I'm going through putting more and more in), is why timers are not showing up on my buffs. Is there a reason for this?

Where in the lua file would I place this? Would I overwrite a certain line? I'm very very slowly figuring some things out, but this one that I can hehe

newest reincarnation of the good 'ol durid's...



I'm not *too* sure if I like this one. Omen seems out of place and random unless I'm in a group, but I don't really know what else to do with it haha. Sadly I can't really do much with the frames right now either...I recently updated pitbull and apparently, its broken and has no configuration menu at all (just throws errors when i type /pitbull or shift+R.Click a frame). So as for now my unit frames are stuck like this. I also need to find a decent place to put the debuff timers.

edit: If you look closely at the bottom group of frames, you can see how horrible I am at eePanel editing xD.

anyways, I look forward to your comments and critique! =D.

I had the same problem with his upload. The MINIMAP addon scaled the map all over the main screen, took me a hour to realize cause i thought it was some REALLY REALLY far away view until i saw a ! for a quest. So i deleted his minimap addon and used simpleminimap. Oh btw thanks for the great idea.
