This is from last night's alt run. It's not the greatest shot ever, but it's a little late to get a perfect raid shot.



My original inspiration for it was minimalism while still having a full raid ui. I previously used a lot of paneling to outline things, but with this one there's just the party at the very bottom. Everything else is intentionally left transparent. Ulduar is what I had in mind making it. I wanted to make sure that I have as few distractions on screen as possible.

The action bars with keybindings are hidden while solo. I wanted them hidden at all times, but I found it was way easier to keep track of things seeing the cooldowns on the buttons. That's just because I'm terrible at micro-management though. I'm using Bartender4.

I have Omen and Recount off to the side, transparent except for the bars, as you can see. Both are hidden outside of a party. Since Omen only shows bars if there's an aggro'd mob targeted, this keeps that side of my screen space free, while still giving me the information I need in combat.

RuneWatch is sized down a bit, and is set to auto-hide outside combat. I've seen some other rune mods that I might try out. RW is really simple and to the point though, I can see my runes and diseases at a quick glance.

I have Mik's Scrolling Battle Text, with incoming damage on the left and outgoing on the right. announcements are in the center-top. My other warnings (DBM, DK Alert, etc.) also show up in the center-top of my screen.

Of course FuBar with a couple plugins at the top, also transparent.

Unit Frames are Pitbull, nothing too fancy, I just turned off a lot of the modules so I didn't have to deal with all this information I don't need.

For cast bars, I use Quartz. If you look right above my unit frame, you see my pet's. My cast bar is right above that, and is the same size. It's mirrored on my target too, with the target of target just above, and their cast bar above it. It's not big, but there's no need for it to be.

I used simpleMiniMap for that, not sure if I care enough to refine it anymore. I might take off those icons around the border. It doesn't bother me as is right now.

The buffs are Satrina's Buff Bars. Descending, though I haven't put much into the sorting of them. They just show up as timer bars. Again, I don't really care that it's not meticulously ordered as long as I can see what I have.

My chat is fairly simple. I use Prat, and my text entry is centered, right above runewatch.

I think that's about it.

It's my creation though I borrowed elements from a number of UIs, primarily Zork's. They do light up (it's rfilter2) and I use omnicc to display time text on them.

You can call the function creating a custom DBM timer in a script. You just have to look it up.
