Hello, I thought I'd share my UI with you guys since I have been lurking on these forums for several years but just haven't posted anything. Before I show the picture I'd like to say that it's actually based on a selfmade copy of Ryas UI which I made a bit under a year ago. So big thanks to Ryas for most of the ideas and inspiration!



I tried to make it as minimalistic and light as possible, but I don't think I really succeeded that well. I think it looks great, but it gets pretty cluttered in raids with all MT Targets, Omen, Focus Target, Grid, etc. It also takes around 17Mb of memory which is a bit too much in opinion. After taking the screenshot I actually decreased the fontsize of my combat text a bit and turned of player names which I forgot on on after taking a killshot picture a week or two ago.

I'll go now through the important addons, if I miss any of these feel free to post a question.
Unitframes: Pitbull
Actionbars: Bartender4
Threatmeter: Omen
DMG Meter: Recount
Castingbar: Quartz (Really small, located between the top action bar and target debuff display)
Target debuff and self buff display: SexyCooldown
Combatext: Mik's Scrolling Battletext
Chat: Prat
Raidframes: Grid
Buff frames: Satrina's BuffFrames
Minimap: Chinchilla
Bossmods: BigWigs (Not seen in the picture, but they are located below the selfbuff display)
MT Targets: oRA2
Tooltip: TinyTip
Fonts: Fontain

And then there is RangeDisplay in the bottom on top of SLDataText (also used for the tracking text). The white lines are drawn by KGPanels.

In the idle state (Out of combat, no target selected and in full health/mana) the unitframes and SexyCooldown bars will fade away.

Here's my contribution to the thread,

Its a compilation of some of the better ideas Ive seen in this thread over the past couple of months.

Here's a shortlist of some of the add-ons i use:

Ouf Caellian - For my Target and Raid/Party Frames.
Dominos - Action Bars
Simple Buff Bars - The only component im not 100% happy with.
SL Data Text - For all the info at the top of the screen
Power Display - simply for aesthetic value and quick reference.
Eaves Drop - A little more accessible than sifting through my combat log.

Pitbull4 - raid/party/focus/target frames (I'm addicted to see the raid's targets)
Prat - for chat
Big Brother - MD/CC-tracker
Bartender - action bars (with ButtonFacade to skining)
ActionButtonText - debuff timer on actionbars
OmniCC - show CD's on actionbars
Quartz - castingbar for me and my target (I don't need to see anybody else.)
Combattext - Milk's Scrolling BattleText (it show's only my pet's crit and my SS at far right, and my damages to the left to it, and shows incoming heal at far left.)
Recount - DMG meter
Omen - Threat meter
Baggins - Bags
caelNamePlates - little nameplates
BuffEnough - buff tracker (shows missing raid-buffs)
DBM - bossmod
DebuffFilter - to show some important debuff
ElkBuffbars - buffs/debuffs on me
ErrorFilter - to hide error-message spamming
Outfitter - cloth-changes
Fubar - to manualy change Outfits/traking, to show durability and fps/lag
OPie - best addon for handle traps/aspects/mounts
ora2
Sexycooldown - to track middle-to-high combat CD's and item-ICD's
SexyMap - minimap addon
TimeToDie - calculates time till target's death
TipTac - Tooltips

Some explanation:
The bars at right-top to my own healtbar is ElkBuffbar's second buff-group which shows only buffs that are show-timed and affects my play-style: RF, item-procs, racials, Bloodlust, haste-potion, Empowered darkness, etc.
(Other things that are not so important at the moment (Replenisment, etc.) and longer buffs (BoK, BoM, etc) are showed in the top-right corner.

In the middle the are a little action-bar which only shows Kill shot, Chimera, Aimed, Serpent Sting and Hunter's Marks (at MM talent.)
Numbers on KS, Chimera, Aimed are from OmniCC and shows the CD on theese shots, and numbers on Serpent Sting and HM are from ActionButtonText which shows the sting/mark (de-)buff-times, see that 5 button is enough to me to maintain my shot-priority.

I just starting getting into UI mods now, I've been playing since Vanilla but have never level capped until last week because my brother was always raiding back then, but since he quit I'm really having fun with PVE and would like possibly some criticism and suggestions thrown at me regarding my key bindings, or interface in general, its pretty clean I should have posted an in-combat one but I don't think it will look much different.

Addons:
Top Bar=:Titan panel
Character/Raid frames:Xperl
Action bars: Bartender4
Threat Meter:Omen 3
Damage Meter: Recount
Cooldown Manager: ForteXorcist (well fed), OmniCC(actionbar button countdown)
Spell Timer: ForteXorcist(sniper training)
CastBar:Quartz(not in SS but right above Forte Cooldown bar)
RaidGrid: Grid2 (above chat panel)
Buffs: Elkano's Buff Bars(bottom right)
Reminder/To do Addon: Power Auras(all the symbols surrounding character)
Power Auras:
Red Aura Above Charter= Hunters Mark Not Up
Purple Ring=Black Arrow Not up
Green Ring=Serpent Sting Not up
Crossing Orange Swords(left)=Lock and Load proc
Red Skull and X Bones= Use Kill Shot
Red Flame Ball=Rapid Fire
Power with Timer= Trinket proc + time
Yellow sword+timer= heroism active
Red Horns on the right= Low Mana/ Go into Viper
Blue Horns on the right=High Mana/ Go into dragonhawk
Orange Cat Face= Pet Below 50% HP
Green Cross with Timer= Mend Pet(so I don't overwrite)
Green Paw= Call of the Wild

I have different effects for all these like when I pop rapid fire the icon blinks really fast or "rapidly", I also have my own sound files to play when the aura becomes active, like when heroism is popped I hear Boromir using the Horn of Gondor from LotR, and Legolas saying the "the horn of Gondor".

Overall I think PVE wise this addon has helped my dps the most, I was surprised when I clocked 6.5k(no flask)on 25m Jarraxus with only 2300 Gear score and I owe it all to this addon, but still I dont' think I'm managing my cooldowns good enough, especially when it comes to my pet, I just bound Kill Command to all my shots today, but read it and it says +60% with special attacks and the only special attack I see is Bite, and I don't think I ever tell my pet to use bite unless he does it automatically so if someone can enlighten me on this it be great and if this is the wrong place I'll edit and post in a more appropriate thread. Thanks.

Hello!
I have been lurking on EJ for a while now and have found it immensely useful. I recently participated in my first ToGC 25 run and found that my current UI(default UI + Recount and DBM) is not going to cut it for that content. I've never modified my UI before(beyond the default options), but have downloaded a bunch of stuff that looks promising for my playstyle from reading this thread. Question is, where do I start? Configure one mod at a time? Here's what I've got so far(downloaded, but not implemented yet):

ag_UnitFrames
AspectChange
Bartender4 and ButtonFacade
Chinchilla
Grid
kgPanels
MikScrollingBattleText
MoveAnything! WotLK
Omen
OPie
Titan Panel

Also considering getting Clique and Faceshooter, but don't know yet if those are really necessary for me.

If this is better suited to a different thread or if someone would be kind enough to help me off-forum, that'd be great.

TL;DR version: How should I begin to modify my UI? Will any of the addons listed conflict with each other or kill my computer?

Many thanks!

Edit: Started playing around with some of these(Bartender, Omen, OPie, Titan Panel and Chinchilla)...haven't really needed to use about half of what I've downloaded so far. Only problem that I'm encountering is that my chat box(the default chat) tends to shift upwards when I dismount, even when I lock it. Is this related to my meddling with the interface? Also, haven't tried it in a raid environment yet, but I'm really loving OPie. I've been able to clean up a lot of things because of it.

I'd be interested to know which addon is displaying the internal cooldowns for your trinkets, styled as numbers atop the trinket icons and placed on your action bars. The one in question appears to be either Death's Verdict or Whispering Fanged Skull.

Add-ons:
Satrina Buff Frames
ag_unitframes
Prat
SexyMap
Omen
Recount
Parrot
Grid
kgPanels
Bartender4
Button Facade
Quartz
ForteXoricist
Power Auras Classic
DXE

So, I got a new pc and went to go redo my UI. I can no longer find power display on either Curse or WoW Interface. Does anyone know of a similar add-on?

So there are a couple of things missing from these screenshots.
First: DBM configuration is green with the bars starting above the target nameplate and moving to the center above the autoshot bar.
Second: The Quartz cast bar is not showing but it has the same length as the AutoShot bar and fills the space between forte cooldown and the auto shot bar.
Third: Right of the targets nameplate you will notice a large icon this is targets buffs their is an identical icon to the left of my Forte spell timer that displays my debuffs.
Forth: Opposite of my pet bard is Targets target.
Fifth: My target's cast bar is displayed with Stuf, with centered Spell name.
Lastly: I want to acknowledge Krippaarian, for his ui design was what originally inspired this design.
Addons:

• Autobar
• Bartender
• Buttonrange
• DBM
• EBB
• ForteXorcist
• Grid
• LittleTrouble
• MSBT
• Nameplates
• Omen
• OmniCC
• PowerAuras

• Quartz
• RangeDisplay
• Recount
• SexyMap
• SnowfallKeyPress

• TipTac

Milfmonster that is a nice refinement of Kripp's UI. I am trying to do the same thing with my existing setup. What do you see as the advantages of Stuf over Pitbull 4 or Shadowed? I am currently running Pitbull 4 on my desktop and testing Kripp's UI on my laptop.

heavily inspired by sympa ui.

shadoweduf
bigwigs
eventhorizon (still trying to learn how to configure it)
bartender (switching to domino soon)
chatter
skada meter (incombat threat)(outofcombat dps)
grid(only using this for bloodqueen)
power aura (not in the ss)
azcastbar

I really like Stuf because the simplicity, even though it has nearly all the intricacies of Pitbull it uses a gui structure that feels better to me from an end user perspective (Pitbull just gives me headaches). Also Stuf is very lightweight.

I have found 1 that is similar, but not nearly as useful as that one. It took me forever to find an old-ass version of PowerDisplay after I was asking you about it, however.

Your best bet is to find someone that knows LUA code and that can write a fresh one for you.

How are you getting that border effect with stuf unit frames, or rather how was it modified?

I've always tried to keep my interface as clean as possible, but also functional. Everything important (unit frames, timers) is located to the left of my character, because that's where my eyes tend to focus most of the time. I like keeping the area around my character clean (I want to see myself and the fire) so I've replaced scrolling combat text with a more minimal Cascade to the right, above Recount. My target's health and timers are very visible, and their positioning allows my eyes to focus on the action as well, not just a frame, which is the main problem I had with unit frames on the left/right of my character (I tend to have tunnel vision).

The class colored little bar above my castbar is a small threat meter. It turns red when I have aggro. The unit frames are rather minimal. Pet, ToT and focus are text-based, and I don't like putting text on the health bars themselves.

Some things not shown:

- when I'm in viper, a big Aspect of the Viper icon appears directly above the Lock and Load icon
- the pet bar appears on mouseover and is located under my player frame
- I have 4 more action bars on mouseover for most of my spells that don't need to be seen all the time
- raid appears to the right of the minimap
- DBM bars under the minimap

A couple of (more or less) hunter-specific mods I'd like to highlight:

- caelSmartAmmo: automatically changes my ammo to the highest DPS one available when I enter a raid instance, and changes back to the lowest one when I leave it.

- sFilter: tracks buffs, debuffs, procs and much more for most unit frames. Very lightweight and customizable.

Full addon list here:

All in all, I've discovered that the biggest DPS upgrade for my character was having a UI that fits my playstyle. It's the little things like OmniCC on my action bars, unit frames in an accessible spot, or a clean area around your character that can make a world of a difference in your performance.

The petbar is hidden until mouseover and is located below the fortexorcist bar, There are two hidden BT4 bars that have keybound skills on them. The two visible auras are my L&L proc and Sniper Training buff. I have a third aura set up to notify me when I'm in Viper at >%90 mana in combat. My debuffs appear to the left of the cooldown bars above my portrait.

Omen is being buggy on me atm but normally it shows while I'm in combat and recount will hide itself.

Thanks The font is called Baroness and I wish I could give you a download link but I can't find one. It was one of the fonts that came with my Vista install I believe.

Anyone have any good suggestions for a Autoshot timer bar mod? Will help me move during the correct times to avoid autoshot loss.

There is probably a standalone mod that will do it but if you are already using Quartz for your castbars, there is a swing timer you can enable that will pulse down a line showing you your autoshot intervals.

LittleTroubles is the best I have found gui looks same as quartz and is really simple
