Been playing around with a lot of stuff lately, and decided to make another clean UI.
This time I've played around with opacity, even ended up writing a small addon to update the opacity of health bars and mana bars depending on current %, and for target also depending on what I'm targeting.
Don't have a raid shot yet, but I'll try to get one, and a proper addon list on Sunday or so.



Basically what I'm trying to achieve is UI elements that don't obscure my view, at least not when theres nothing important to show.
As health/mana/totem duration gets low, opacity increases so they "pop" up when needed and fade away when I don't really need 'em.
Since I didn't get to raid with it yet it's very much a WIP, still need to identify other elements that needs to be faded/hidden, and ones that needs to change opacity based on conditions.
Questions/tips/other comments are welcome (Should be a PM button somewhere).
I can already tell you I most likely won't release the code for opacity changes as it won't work unless you run the same addons etc. I also know the SAA fire totem timer and my totem addon are 1sec out of sync, this is because the totem addon shows duration, while SAA shows time till the last tick.

Sounds extremely nice (the whole opacity thing) but erm .. your link doesn't seem to work.

I had that idea to before too, but since I suck at coding and since no UF addon has the feature I just left it aside. Would love to see how you implemented it, perhaps a short video or so.

Seems HDimage is fucking up again, anyone know a decent site without silly BW limits that don't scale down the images you upload?
Edit: Thanks.
Video should be up on YouTube - Opacity2.wmv once it's done processing...

Basically a revision of my gradient UI (that a lot of people liked) with different unit frames (that a lot of people didn't like). Would love some constructive criticism.



Relevant addons: Stuf, LitePanels, BasicChatMods, Recount, LynStats, iMinimap, rActionBarStyler and rActionButtonStyler with one of the many pixel skins for it.

Posted my UI here before, but due to some hardware malfunctioning and a system that needed to get cleaned out I formatted my harddrive and erased all evidence of my former interface except from the screenshots posted here since they are on my server. So, I had to redo it all, and thought "Hey, why keep the same UI when you can improve it a little", and this is the result.

Old post: post1550154

Random shots taken while in a party, some idle, some solo, and a list of addons.
If you got questions, then PM me. Do not ask question in this thread.

Shot a:


Shot b:


Shot c:




INFO:
Resolution is 1900 * 1200.
The frames beneath my unitframes are 7px high and extends in a downward angle in raid situations, this includes WSG, AB, SotA and EotS. If the raid size extends pasts 25 peeps, then these frames are hidden. I don't really care about peeps hp etc in WG or AV for example - I'm a dps.
Other questions will be posted here too and updated.

Posted in the mage thread also, but I wouldn't mind other classes opinions or comments. Still some work to do, but it's mostly cosmetic.

Unique to raids:
Recount
Grid & Clique


Here you can see what happens when I target somebody, as well as my castbar. Powerauras is used to show me my AB debuff stack and when I have MB up it overlays the static charge to the left of me. The countdown timer is only for AB stack.


Here you can see target's casting bar as well as target-of-target (in the middle semi-circle above the minimap with a text-%-life HP listing)
The bar at the top is my cooldown bar. It pops up when anything is on cooldown and shows the sliding to the right.
Not shown are my Poweraura graphics displaying IV, Trinketed state, and Empowered.
Vehicle and Pet frames are still a work in progress, I have the frame and health set, but I need a way to easily manipulate water-elemental ability bar to show only 1 or two buttons, and I can't get his freeze cooldown to show up on a sexycooldbar.

I borrowed the textures and overall theme from Demigod UI, but I rebuilt the entire thing from scratch to use my own background mods, keys, bindings, etc.

Addons:
Visible:
Buffalo
ButtonFacade
Chatter
Grid & Clique
Dominos
kgPanels
MageNuggets (for the hit value only, I will be replacing this with a panel that shows info in that black bar at the bottom)
Recount (only shows in raids, while out of combat)
simpleMinimap
Stuf
PowerAuras
Quartz
SexyCooldownBar

Non-Visible:
TipTac
SpeedyActions
RedRange
ReagentRestocker
Postal
pError
iThreat
CombatHideTooltip
ArkInventory
Auctionator

Edit: Forgot to mentions, Bigwigs is up there, small grey bars that appear just above the boss, small and unobtrusive, all text and warnings are disabled. The spells on the left side of my action bar are strictly for range-finding. The spells on the right side are dampen/amp magic, arc-int, my armors, plus food and gem summoning. To the far right are reagented buffs, professions, fishing, and a critter summoner.

I should have included this in the original post, but it was late at night. Here is my main inspiration so that everybody can see that I'm not that original, just a copy cat (that likes to do everything himself):
WoWInterface : AddOns by Elloria

And here is the download of this guys texture pack, from which I was able to put together all my elements:

So here it goes again. This is all that will show barring DBM's timer bars, in a raid.

Unitframes are Nurfed2 + my own Juicy Om Nom layout. Action Bars are also Nurfed2. Additionally they're set to be clickthrough, so while they're very high up on the screen, I can't screw up and misclick the buttons while moving around.

Other than that, it's the obvious Omen3, eePanels2, Chatter, FuBar, Minimap Button Frame, Recount, Buffalo, Autobar, simpleMinimap, sct and EavesDrop.

Bagnon
BigWIgs
BindPad

Buffalo
ButtonFacade (with LiteStep skin)
ClearFont2

Any suggestions/ideas for improvements to my UI can be made via PM. My main problem is finding somewhere to put BigWigs bars when in raids. I will update this with a combat screenshot soon so you can see what I mean.
