To alcaras:

- Scale your UI

- Hide action bars you don't require for them to be visible and use CooldownCount2 to watch your CDs (you can bind keys directly to the Spell Book and create a hidden a bar for your macros)

- FuBar to get rid of the clutter on the minimap; Squeenix/simpleMinimap to modify it to your liking; bind it to a key so you can hide and show it when the need arises

- Get rid of add-ons you don't really need, like, Grid or AloftPresets or the extra cyCircled skins to reduce the load

- Hide modules you don't really require to see the whole time, like the XP bar or the main menu

- Buffalo or ElkBuffBars to tidy up your buffs

- Sort your unit frames out - for example, do you really have the extra space to waste for portraits or the castbars of your party members? PitBull's got a lot of other nifty options like hiding yourself in party, resizing buff icons etc.

Can anyone answer my previous question:

Can someone tell me how to anchor a eePanel to the Battleground map so that when I am in a battleground the panel is visible and when I am not, it's not. Basically when the BG minimap is visible it is and when it's not it isn't.

Taking folks' suggestions, here's the first iteration:

It's still a bit heavy memory wise, but a lot better. I also think it's a bit cleaner and am experimenting with just using grid as a player frame replacement.

Also, I no longer can see my cooldowns with all action bars hidden. Someone mentioned CooldownCount2, but googling that didn't turn up anywhere to download it.

edit: As Kalman points out, the mod in question is called CooldownTimers2.

alcaras: Check out Hourglass or CooldownTimers2.

I use almost an exact replica of howitzer's UI.

I love the lay out, but the one problem I have with it is that the only way, as I have found, to see my cast bar is in the top left, right where my character health/mana is. Anyone know a cast bar that would fit nicely with it? I'd like it to be Ace2, but that really isn't as important as going with the whole look of the UI.

Edit: Also, if what I desire can be found inside some of the addons that I have, I'd like to know how I could get a cast bar to show where the default Blizzard cast bar is. I really don't mind if the casting bar under my health/mana remains where it is.

I would suggest Quartz, from files.wowace.com. While the options menu might be a bit overwhelming at first, the mod is very versitile. It is also fully movable so you can put the castbar wherever you'd like.

One thing I'm still missing: being able to tell how far away something is. With action bars hidden, it's hard to pinpoint the max range for a spell on a target. Any suggestions?

I can't find the option in Pitbull to fade in/out the _target_ frame based on range (it works for party frames, but I have those disabled in favor of grid).

I used Caithlyn's UI, added a trio of buttons between the player and target frames to indicate range (and if a spell school has been silenced) and used the bottom part of the screen to display cooldowns of certain spells. It's changed a bit since then, but you can get an idea from it.

Basically, I hide all my bound bars and have another set of bars showing just to monitor range/cooldowns. You could do something similar with your setup.

I am looking to enlist the help of some people that seem to know more about this kind of stuff than I do. This picture was posted in the US Wow forums a few times in the last week. People don't seem to know who it belongs or where its from. But due to popular demand my husband and I have set out to try to at least pull out the big button pieces and remake them. The rest of the UI is fairly simple across the bottom.

I successfully pulled out that left button circle, but for the life of me I cannot seem to recreate the "glass" layer that sits over the top of it. I'm using gimp and am not really a wiz with those kind of programs. If anyone is will to pick it apart, or just help me out recreating it, I would appreciate the assistance.

dill · 11/07/07, 9:57 AM

very simple question

is there any way to show current input language indicator ? i've seen Prat's module, but it doesn't work for me for some reason.

You could ask the owner of the UI:

The World of Warcraft Armory

Miaxi · 11/07/07, 11:59 AM

Looks like Sphere with some always visible menus.

Or actually it isn't. Just checked myself. :/

As far as I know he made the big round circles himself and imported them with Eepanels or something.

As for the gloss, aint that a Cycircled skin?
