Perhaps a Skinner BottomFrame? If not, then eePanel or a viewport addon?

One thing that really struck me was the bag / menu buttons on the side and your huge exp. bar. Like Thal said, you can use Bonogs to hide elements that aren't all that useful (or at least scale them down). I don't know what all you can do with xPerl, but Pitbull has the option of including your experience bar as part of the player frame.

Speaking more generally, you have several other elements that just seem really big or unnecessary. All of your unit frames could be scaled down, and your player frame has lots of things that can removed. You should know that you're a druid, level 68, and what your name is for example, so you could remove those things and just display health/mana. Like you said, you just don't have much room to work with so any little thing that you can take off is going to help.

[e]: Some screens as per your post. Basically, to me, xPerl's display just seems really bloated and here's an alternative. I don't think of my setups as being perfect or great (or even very unique!), but I think they're a lot cleaner and simpler than perl.

The first is my paladin's player frame while leveling. The second is one member of my party frame. They display about the same information as yours with a lot less clutter.

Yeah, tried tweaking all of those. Turned off eepanels completely and various viewport settings in Skinner. Nothing seemed to work.

EDIT: Ok, figured it out. Even though I disabled eepanels in-game, it didn't completely disable until I turned it off on the add-on screen before logging in. Once I did that, the black panel was gone and I'm a happy camper.

I'm using Flexbar2 at the moment, but it has not pet bar support, so I'm also running Bartender just for the pet bar. I'm looking for a lightweight preferably Ace mod that will just handle a pet bar. I've searched wowace, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if it's possible to scale the menues in Deucecommander, or any of the other Fubar menus for that matter? Only way I can think of is increasing UI Scale, but that will break my UI and I would really hate to move everything in place and rescale them again.
Also when you right-click on the player frame, the window that appears, can it be scaled somehow? They sort of look like eachother, but I don't know if there's a connection or not.
Any point in the right direction would be mostly appreciated!

I was watching some PVP videos the other day, and I came across this neat looking addon.

LockNotes

It is a spell alert addon, tailored specifically for Warlocks in PVP.
It yells across the screen (SCT style) when your target throws up devine shield, cloak of shadows, and a few other things.

I've been using a combo of SCT, blizzards default SCT, and Witchhunt.

This addon I found is really neat, but it has no configuration, does not allow me to pipe the output to SCT, only shows the spells it's programmed to show, and no way to add spells, short of diving into the LUA.

So what I'm looking for, is an addon that will announce, through the SCT addon, when specific spells are cast (and ideally when they are down, ie. "Devine shield is down!"), and preferably be ACE'd.

I was hoping that WitchHunt would allow me to filter out specific spells, but I cannot figure out how.

Any ideas?

I got a question about textures, looking at Hal's UI(http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/full10707.jpg). How does she get those textures with eepanels, and on the other addons, like pitbull and the casting bar.

And an other thing, how do I anchor a panel to f.ex to an unitframe?

I would love if anyone could explain how to do this, or give me a link to where to find a guide or something like it.

Thanks!

Until recently, I had been using SpellWatch (wowace) to track the duration of my traps on the ground - not the duration of trap effects, just the traps themselves, and by mental extension, the cooldown. SpellWatch seems to have recently stopped working, and hasn't been updated in almost a year, so I'm looking for another mod capable of doing exactly what I described above and nothing more. Chronometer can do the trap bars like I want, but tracks everything, and doesn't seem to have a way to add and remove spells. Anyone know of a mod that does this, or a mod that's useful for tracking trap durations in general?

If you're using SimpleMiniMap (which I am), unlock the minimap frames and you will see the handle for the frame under the minimap. If you don't, I'm sure you can move it with visor.

I'm envisioning the chat tabs for my chat windows a certain way, and I thought Prat would be enough to do what I want, but I think I was wrong (unless I'm missing something).

I was hoping to have the tabs alpha be 0 and have the text of the tabs still be visible. I also wanted to change the color of the text, and perhaps have the text blink if something happens in that window. Can Prat do this?

P.S. Saw something like this in the post your UI forum but it's long buried and I don't think I can find it.

Alright so I've just about finished rebuilding my UI and i start to cast something and i see this : /

The blizzard style cast bar in the middle of the screen, i haven't the foggiest of how to get rid of it save completely redo the UI. Anyone have any suggestions?

Redslayer · 03/02/08, 4:39 PM

any UI bars that can shift effectively when you are controlling a pet? (like constructs) Trinity seems to suck at this function.

You just perfectly described Fane.

Also, maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, but are there any Routes for Mining? I've found a ton for Gas Clouds in the Art of Making Gold thread, but none whatsoever for mining.
