An no thats not fake, its actually quite functional. Done for no other reason because I could. Generally prefered more minimalistic UI but this one i wanted to be rather unique while still getting all the important info in. Looks a tiny bit different now, couple things size adjusted so give me more viesing room but you get the idea.

I'm dying to know how the power bars at the bottom of your screen work. Very cool that you took the SF4 UI and adapted it to WoW!

I've been looking for this specific addon for a while, I see gray rectangles over action bars extending across the bottom of the screen on a few UI's... what is that? I have bartender4 and tried buttonfacade, but I can't seem to get it to do that, if its either of those could I get some advice on how to get it to do it? or recommend an addon?

The name thats going up the side on the curvy part is the name of my current pet. The green part where the Ultra meter would be in SF4 is my pets health. The green spot in the middle is pet happiness, naturally its set to turn red/yellow. The EX meter is my mana bar. Its dark blue and as each quarter fills up, it turns to that lighter blue/white. The "Super" is just there for visual effect when im full. The target's mana bard works much the same except intead of happiness it shows my %threat on the target.
Sadly it is not avaliable for upload atm, its only scripted for hunters atm, I'd prefer to get it fully working and tweeked before putting it out there.

Without an actual image I can only assume you're looking for the Caith layout in ButtonFacade. You can find it here.
Unless you're referring to the panels themselves. They can be done with both eePanels2 and kgPanels.

as kuro said without an actual representation of what you are looking for its kind of hard to figure out what it is you are after.

What I'm looking for is like what bER92 has on page11. I have buttonfacade and caith. And I like the look of it, however it's just the icon with borders, not a full background connecting all icons.

Jsmurfg's UI
Mods I use:
AtlasLoot
Bartender4
Carbonite (not shown)
Class Timer
DBM (not shown)
FuBar
IceHUD
kgPanels
Omen
Outfitter
Quartz
RangeDisplay
RDX
Recount
SatrinaBuffFrame
ShotProc
SexyMap
Xperl
Thoughts:
I am somewhat of a clicker, as embarrassing as it is to admit. Anywho, that's why I have my action bars grouped as they are.
The non-obvious things about this UI are to do with my raid, party, personal, pet, and focus frames. As you can see, I use Xperl for my target and target of target frame. All my other frames are done with the FrigidUI configuration of RDX. This allows me to click bind abilities to those frames. The main abilities I find this useful for are misdirect and master's call. Also used RoS in this fashion before it was changed.
Feedback I'm specifically looking for:
Currently I use Xperl as my target and target's target frame. I was wondering if someone was aware of a very lightweight unit frame that I could switch to instead. I use Class Timer as well, would it be possible to replace this effectively with the PowerAuras mod? Finally, for buffs and debuffs I am using SatrinaBuffFrames. However I really like ElksBuffBars but haven't found a great way to get it on my UI without adding too much clutter. Any suggestions on how this could be done would be appreciated.

I'm using Pitbull as UF, though it isnt exactly lightweight, i have always prefered it over Xperl. Supposedly Pitbull4 is alot easier to manage and setup than v3, but i believe it is still in alpha phase.
PowerAuras is a wonderful mod; i myself use it mainly for LnL procs if i play surv (which i rarely do), and for MM it shows me a big green skull in the centre of my screen if my current target doesn't have SrS on it. Same with Hunter's Mark, it shows a big red arrow in middle of screen. Alot of options with this addon, but it all depends on one thing really; do you prefer to see pictures/icons (PowerAuras) vs. timers/bars/text (ClassTimer). Same reason i have Cooldownbuttons instead of a cooldownbars addon
ElksBuffBars can also be fully customized to your liking. The default layout of EBB is 3 buff bars; 1 for all (!) your buffs, 1 for all debuffs, 1 for weapon enchants. However, you can add alot more frames to it (I'm using eight or nine now), each having their own filters. For example; i have made one EBB bar specifically for my Sanity debuff on the Yogg Saron encounter, it filters out everything else and i put it in the centre of my screen.
Same with LnL, which is a 15 second buff; put the bar in the centre of your screen and filter out everything else.
For buffs: i have made 4 types of buff frames which are positioned under each other. One to show my own permanent buffs (aspect, mount, tracking modes, spirit bond if BM), one to show permanent buffs i get from other people (aura's/totems), one to show buffs that last longer than 30 seconds (fort/int/druid buffs, Horn of Winter), and one to show my procs (t < 30). Here is an old screenie to show what i mean, some addons have been replaced, but the general idea is still the same, and EBB is still configured in that way:

Thank you for that info, I was unaware that I could create multiple frames with ElkBB. I can definitely see moving those to where I have my class timer stuff and switching to PowerAuras. I'm sure I'll find out when I mess with it, but can one have ElkBB stack upwards?
Then again the last time I looked at configuring PowerAuras it made me die a little inside. *sigh*, back to the grindstone I suppose.
Small addendum, the only lightweight unit frame I was able to locate was the GlassUF, however it completely did not work for me. Not sure if it was because of another of my mods interfering, but yeah, it made my WoW go all crash-like.
This is a question more appropriate for the openRDX forums I'm sure, but I wonder if there is a unit frame config that is easier on the eyes than frigid's (what I'm using for everything except target/target's target).

Never thought about expanding EBB upwards, but yeah apparently it is possible as i found out just now. Just check 'Grow Up' when configuring a frame and it will expand upwards.
What do you mean about PowerAuras though? It's not a complex addon, within seconds you can create an effect to show on your screen. Just give it some nice icon, colour, and make sure the triggering event is chosen correctly (i.e. make it look at your current target for a debuff to be present/absent in order to show you the icon on screen.)

Thanks for the help all! I've got ElksBB and PowerAuras set up. The TKAsomething guide helped a lot and I didn't get lost this time with PowerAuras thankfully. Seeing how it will work out for tonight's raid. Still on the lookout for a lightweight target mod that... feels right to me I guess.

Unless you're seriously tied to IceHUD you might consider replacing it with UnderHood - also a HUD - that includes support of target & target of target frames. Another upside is that UnderHood is Ace3 based - IceHUD is still Ace2 - so it saves some memory overhead if IceHUD is your only Ace2 addon. The major downside is that UnderHood does not natively support curved bars although I have fixed that personally using SharedMedia and XnView to manipulate the statusbar textures from IceHUD appropriately. I can PM you a screen shot of my UI or post it here if there's more general interest.

Check out post 288 for an example of several groups with EBB.
I used 6 EBB groups there. Critical buffs, on the far left, for stuff like Fort, Mark, Blessings, flasks/elixirs. Combat buffs, to the right of the critical buffs, for random combat buffs like trinket procs. Pet buffs below critical buffs (forgot to use treat for that fight). Debuffs, the red bar. And also the critical combat buffs right above my player frame for stuff like Heroism, Aspects, etc.
A few things that may help:
- To get the buffs to show up with icons + time go to Bar Layout and change the Left selection to Time and change the others to hide. Also remove the background check-marks on Bar Layout.
- To get different buffs to show up in different areas use the Filter selection and White List the buffs you want to show and Black List any buffs that are showing that you want hidden.
- Alt Left click on any buff to get the anchor to appear.
- Use /ebb config to add/remove groups.
Also, If you're using EBB and Power Auras I would suggest using Quartz as well for steady shot/auto shot timers and activate target debuffs for Hunters Mark, Serpent Sting, Black Arrow, and Explosive Shot visuals. The 3 of those addons are the core of my UI and they make things much easier.

One suggestion, install a button skinner like ButtonFacade with Sleek or Caith. It'll make the buttons look a lot nicer.

Some quick notes about the UI.
Hunters will notice the Sting/Mark Icons in the middle of the screen.
These will pop up ONLY if your target does not have them applied. (PowerAuras)
This informs me when to refresh serpent sting and it checks the target to see if Hunter's mark buff is up.
Buffs grow down left side of screen. Debuffs on Right Side (See Read Bars)
Raid Frames up top are simple. Show name/Class Color
DBM Bars on Right side (Above the Debuffs)
When they get to 10 seconds they move to center above my pet bar so I can't miss them.
My Player Frame:
Above the frame = Tank List and Their Targets
Below = Pet frame and Pet Target
My target Frame is on Right (Buffs Above)
Distance to target clearly listed - RangeDisplay
Target of Target Under the Target frame.
Here is the list of add ons used:
CT_RaidAssist
Deadly Boss Mods
Omen
Core Add ons For the Raid Interface:
Bartender4
Cast Yeller - I use to announce MD to Guild Hunter Channel and to Whisper tank)
ElkBuffBars
FuBar (Money, Performance, Durability, Ammo)
Mapster
Omni CC
Pitbull
PowerAuras
Prat
Quartz
Range Display
TipTac
Raid Admin Monitors (I am a officer so I have some extras here)
BigBrother - Raid Buff Monitor
RaidTracker - Loot Capture
NRT - Attendance Tracker
Loggerhead - Combat Logger
Recount
AtlasLoot
RatingsBuster
Hunter Specific:
Misdirection helper - Hunter Macro Creator that allows hunter to continue to dps target while MD is cast on tank.
Error Catchers:
ErrorMonster
Optional Add Ons (I Usually disable these before raids)
AckisRecipeList
Postal
Raid Pic ---> Raid Shot - UI
Solo Pic ---> Solo Shot
