I have redone my UI, since the other one was hurting my eyes .
took some of the elements out of Iscariot's UI, still need to add a few stuff, including a HUD.

My hunter raid UI:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/dloran2/www/june2008ui.jpg

My general design principle is to keep important stuff centered and at the bottom of the screen, which is where my eyes tend to hover on their own. Information that I don't often need during combat has been relegated to the top corner of the screen, and a large, wide area is open to see the game world. Omen (and my trap timer bar, which isn't in the SS) cover up part of guild chat, because I shouldn't be distracted by it while fighting anyway. The Demon-like line of debuff indicators above the target frame is simply a pitbull text.

I have a few clever UI tricks that I'm proud of. I don't need to see my name or my class on the player frame, so i've replaced them with a display of my AP, Crit, and Shot speed (this is PowerDisplay, with the appearance modified via lua), and an indicator of how many mp5 Aspect of the Viper would give if I turned it on (this is a clever dogtag). My main elk buff bars are long buffs (> 10 mins) at the top, and separate lists for timeless buffs and <10 min buffs plus all debuffs below the player frame. On the right side, target debuffs that are important to me are shown separately. Even as a hunter, I use Click2Cast along with main-tank and raid frames for Misdirection and Scorpid Sting (which are bound to the same button, and selected based on the hostility of the target).

The one piece of the UI that I'm not terribly happy with is the button bank below the target frame. Those are mostly cooldown abilities and items, so having buttons serves as both a way to activate them and monitor the cooldowns. However, just about everything else in the UI is bars, which I like better than icons and text. Anyone have a good way to track cooldowns as bars and a space-saving way to activate them?

All the standard ace players: Pitbull, Grid, Quartz, Prat, eePanels, Bartender, ElkBuffBars (this is probably my favorite mod in the world - I have 8 buff groups), Omen, Chinchilla, FuBar, Parrot, CowTip (very customized, I can post screenshots and the dogtags if anyone cares).

Fubar modules (Yay, zero minimap buttons!):
Bottom left bar: MoneyFu, MailFu, GuildFu, FriendsFu, QuestsFu
Bottom right bar: oRA2, BigBrother, CCBreaker, Outfitter, AmmoFu, DurabilityFu, BagFu
Above minimap: PerformanceFu
Below minimap: TrackerFu, BattlegroundFu, Addon Prefs, BugSack, ClockFu

In a group/raid, Omen is displayed when in combat and Recount is displayed when out of combat. Casting bars are class-colored if the target isn't an NPC, otherwise they use the player's class color.

Here's my "NotSoWidescreen" UI (1280x960)

I tried to keep it simple without losing information, it's main focus lies on PvP, but works well even for 40 people raids.

OOC


IC


Addons

I'll add an group shot as soon as i can. It goes beyond the player frame (square layout).

Normally, actionbars are hidden and castbars positioned there, the shot shows the default layout that i use on twinks (Yeah, i'm to old to remember keybindings for more than my main! )

I see your like me and will never be happy with the outcome of an Interface for longer than a week =)

But i like this one better than your other ones just because of the neatness and ease to use. everything is bunched up and easy to see without looking across the screen.

Also i tried with the buffs in different spots and found that its best (IMO) to just leave them up top, and have things like SCT, MSBT, or parrot announce when u get things like heroism or quick shots.

Just some tips from my opinion.

What is the name of that gorgeous font on your clock?

Here is the original if anyone has any other good ideas for unit frame colors:

Addon list is the same as Existence but it looks like he added a couple mods to it.

I've heard several times and from multiple sources that my UI is absolutely horrible and ugly. But, it has everything I need and it works like a charm! I feel that any attempt to make it prettier than this would just mess it's usability. Personally I don't understand "minimalist" UI's

Main focus is PvE + comfortable playing.

Meant to be a "worst case scenario spam" -screenshot.

Might wanna think about using a vertical texture instead of an horizontal one

Haven't got a screen of addons, but here's what I use:
BigWigs
Grid + A small number of plugins
Pitbull
InfiniBar-2.0
Parrot
Buffalo
KgPanels
Chinchilla
Chatter
Fubar + plugins
evl_nameplates
Quartz


I have some small tweaks I need to make, but this is the general UI. Thanks to funkydude for some inspiration.
Any comments on how to improve would be appreciated.
