An update on my UI. I've gone away from the complications of large dark panels and moved over to a free space design.

- Dominos
- Pitbull Unit Frames 4.0 (dogtagLib)
- Buttonfacade; Liteflat skin
- Chinchilla; Gloss skin
- Prat
- Sct, Sctd & Sct_cooldowns
- Recount
- Cooldown To Go

Upgrade on monitor aswell; Asus 24" 1920 x 1080, quite an upgrade from my 19".
** Enlarge Picture Please, for details**

Idle:


Combat, 25man Raid:

I like to keep things simple.... prefer to edit addons in .lua to avoid bloated menus. All abilities are keybound and hidden; the abilities that are visible are for cooldown tracking.

Would love comments/criticism.

Visible addons:

oUF (unit frames)
oUF_lyn (style for unit frames)
Dominos (action bar)
SatrinaBuffFrames (buffs)
ButtonFacade (DsmFade skin for action bars, Caith skin for buffs)
rMinimap (minimap styling)
LynSettings (used to create the bottom panel)
LynStats (fps/latency in bottomleft)
bBar (combat stats under action bar)
oChat (chat modification)

Done with my current UI.

If you have cool ideas for additional bottom bars let me know.

My very minimal, but totally functional UI.

Some custom art and the following addons:



[edit]: I've had lots of questions about the black and white icons.

Here is what you do:

All in game icons can be downloaded at the following url: WoWWiki:WoW Icons - WoWWiki

1. Find the ones you need or want to use and download/save the images as is on the webpage. These icons need to be the correct size or WoW will not recognize them... I forget the exact size, it's been a while. The default size you download them as is correct.

2. Open up Photoshop or your weapon of choice, desaturate the image (I also add -20% contrast) and then save it as a .tga file with a number ranging from 1-whatever and keep the original size. You will end up with files called 1.tga, 2.tga, 3.tga, etc. I never looked into this further, but if you name the files something else they will not work. Consecutive numbers seem to be the way to go.

3. Create a folder in your WoW/Interface directory named Icons. All the icons you want to use will go in here.

4. Reload WoW (this must be done each time you want to add a new icon - might have changed, but it's been a while) and then your icons will be available in your macro configuration window.

5. Create a macro using the icon of your choice, place it on your visible action bar and there you go, custom icons.

I haven't seen anyone do this before (maybe I just missed it) and I've been doing it for a good year or so, so I'm very interested in what people come up with.

Remember you have a limited amount of macros you can create using a custom icon (unless there is a mod that allows more?) so choose wisely. I have an additional 3 bars on the right side of my screen hidden from view, all keybound, to create a cleaner appearance. These are all colored since you do not see them so they don't take away from the Undead...ish look I try to achieve with my UI.

That about covers it. If I've missed anything feel free to PM me on these forums. I'll update my post.

With 3.1 on the way and many UI mod changes incoming, I will probably redo the whole thing from scratch. If I offer an upload I'll post it here on EJ.

Cheers

He doesn't plan on creating, they are already created. It's just a panel gradient with different colors at each end of the frame. You could make them any color you want. They don't change with health percentage. I'm not 100% sure how much work it would take to do that.

Ah, I see. For some reason, I just assumed that Pitbull was providing some color. That's clever. Of course, Pitbull doesn't provide the sort of magic transparency that I was thinking about.



This is the closest (and least ugly) attempt at achieving a HP-dependent color + gradient combination. I used a vertical gradient instead of a horizontal one. A good old-fashioned near-black deficit looks better, but it was fun to try.

@ Malum - very nice one.

Would be interested in seeing a raid / combat shot.

@Cemetary - I really like your UI set up. Job -very- well done.

For the (slightly off-topic) record, I'm also getting Aloft errors with the most recent version.
