This is an in use raiding UI and works in all instances.
There is no fancy download package or detailed instrucitons.
Just rename your current wtf and interface folders then extract this file to your WoW directory.
If there is an Addon you do not want or like, merely delete the folder from the Interface\Addons Folder.
Rename the Account, Realm, and Character folders to your information.
If you have more than one account or characters copy the folders first before you rename them.
If an addon is spazzed out upon install, go to the configuration for that mod and set the profile to Blackfriday.
Easy.
Just a note:
Comments and questions would be welcome. I am pretty familiar with all the addons used, though strictly from a user's perspective.
I am always messing with the UI and if enough folks actually end up using it, I will be happy to put up periodic updates.
This UI is used primarily for my Warrior, but it has also adapted well to my hunter and my priest (both holy and shadow). I have sworn off alts so none of the priest specific mods (ie Grid) or hunter mods (ie autobar) are included.
The UI should easilly fit your screen if you can divide the larger number of your resoution by the smaller number and get 1.6 (called the aspect ratio).
I get zero errors.
O - and my thanks to all the addon authors, whether represented in my UI or not. You have provided me with endless hours of entertainment and I hope you find my particular use of your addons pleasing. I, of course, developed none of the addons used here and can only take credit for their arrangement.

Optional Files - Blackfriday of Garona UI
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
The "action" slots that are showing up are from the addon TellMeWhen. I have stopped using it for now and you can just delete that Addon from the Addon folder or unclick it in the addon screen.
I found that using an extra action bar from Dominos, positioned similarly, does what I wanted it to, ie, cool downs in the middle of the screen.
Hey black finally worked it all out it was the setting in effects and video that were set too full cut them back down to half and all works perfect now
Only thing i cant work out is in combat the action slots that show up next too char with ? on them which add on is that if its geist i cant seem too be able to config or is it a amcro thingy
anyway glad i got it going its awesome thanks
I belive that is Omen. Go into Omen and turn off the audible warnings. Also you could check MSBT, Big Wigs and last look at x-perl.
If that doesn't work please let me know.
Oh - I don't think I answered your first question properly.
Sorry.
The way to transfer specific setting for a mod from one UI to another is to copy the .lua file for that mod. You will find it in the folder "saved variable."
These are in the WTF folder and check for the .lua file in both the realm and character.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

Decursive and other caster addons will not affect the current arrangement.
Grid and Clique are in the addon folder just not activated. I use this same UI for my priest, whether holy or shadow.
To make the recount look like the original - and I'm not sure why it doesnt - make the borders and background to a completely transparent alpha. Just go to the background setting in the appeareance configuration window and set the slide bar to 0. Same for any borders and such.
I like and want to use your arrangement but there are addons that I use that aren't included such as decursive and other caster related addons. Is there a way I can retain their configuration while still using your UI?
Oh! And my Recount is red while yours in the screenies is black!
WHY?! Gimme black recount!

still no good tried everything its not my comp its brnd new 4 g mem 9900 series nvidia card and i can run like 300 add ons np at all anyway its a nice ui fro people that can run it
ive tried to start looking for the cause disable all addons and problem is still there it starts as soon as i logg and stays through i disabled all the addons after i logg in and its still the same only reason i can think off its cause its written for the 1900 1200 res i can only go as far as 1900 1060 one
Originally posted by meggsy Hi i tried puting it on twice but for some reason it paddles wow like slow motion non stop put other ui comps on and no problem ive only experienced this with one other ui since patch.
I like your layout nice ui but cant use it growlls ps i know how to install them so thats not a probelm wonder if anyone else has had the same problem??
Hmmm - not a problem I have enountered. The solution depends on how much effort you are willing to invest.
It is probably one addon that is disagreeing with something. So, I would disable them all, then start putting the big ones back in 5 or 6 at a time until you repeat the problem.
I would be interested to know which addon is causing your problem should you determine that it is an addon causing your problem.
