-Shortly after patch 3.3 launches I will be dropping a new release. So far mostly minor tweaks.
Planned Changes:
Pitbull 4
- Party frames are now moved and centered along the top of the screen instead of the top left corner. This corrects an issue of tool tips overlapping the party frames.
Bartender 4
- For some reason bar 1 was enabled and off the screen unable to be selected. The bar has now been centered on the screen and disabled.
SBF (Satrina Buff Frames)
- I have renamed each frame for the job it does. For example instead of SBF 1, it reads "Your Buffs" ect.
- The "Debuffs on Target" frame now shows when Demo Shout or Vindication or Curse of Weakness, Thunderclap, and Sunder Armor are applied by anyone. Previously it only showed when you applied them and did not include Vindication/Curse of Weakness. This is to help reduce the chance you are wasting time applying a debuff already present.
DBM
I have enabled the 2nd set of bars "big" bar to appear just above the target and target of target frame. This is to have a centered and larger CD bar to inform you of information you need to know during an encounter.

-If after reading ALL the information below you still are having issues downloading, installing or setting up my UI for a different resolution check out my guide: A Guide to Downloading User Interfaces
3.2.3 Version Changes:
-This UI will now be released and updated for 1920x1080 resolution only. Many apologies to my smaller resolution users. I will keep the version 3.2.2 (1280x1024) archived on this download page. You can continue to use that version by simply updating the addons as updates become available.
-Removed Archeron (found that I did not use it enough to keep it)
-Removed Archud2 (wanted to go to unit frames instead of the 3D target box)
-Removed X-perl (not enough customization)
-Removed Quartz (the need for this addon was replaced by Pitbull4)
-Added Icehud
-Added Pitbull4
-Added Recount
-This UI now has Focus and Target of your Focus.
-The information on this page has been updated and includes new instructions for the latest version.
The following information is Important. Read it! I will do my best to check the tankspot thread linked at the bottom of this page as often as I can to provide support help. You can also check that thread and the comments on this download page to see if someone asked the same question as you and an answer was provided. Please take the time to check the sources available to you, including addon homepages, if you are having an issue with one.
Install Instructions:
1) Copy your Interface and WTF folders and store them somewhere safe, outside your WoW folder(this is to create a backup, if you do not like my UI ).
2) Delete the Interface and WTF folder from your WoW Folder.
3) Download the UI and extract it to your WoW Folder.
4) Go into your WoW folder and open the Boda UI folder. Then pull out the WTF and Interface folders and place them in the WoW folder. Once you have the WTF and Inteface folders out you can delete the empty Boda UI folder.
5) Go into the WTF Folder and rename the appropriate folders with YOUR info.

- Realm/Server Name (First Letter Cap)
- Change "Your Name" to your characters name (First Letter Cap)

Other Classes and Resolutions FAQ:
The resolution for this UI is 1920x1080, But you can use this UI for other resolutions. All you have to do is play with the UI scale via the in-game video options till it looks right. You may have to do some other adjustments such as unlocking the panels and addons to relocate and re-size them slightly. If your having trouble moving them go check out the download page for that addon. They generally have helpful tips listed there.
Please note I CANNOT tell anyone how to set this UI up for a different resolution. It is impossible for me to describe how to make this fit to your screen.
Additionally this UI can work with many other classes and specs. Please read the information for SBF located here: Satrina Buff Frames 3 and refer to those instructions if you are using this UI for other classes. This will help you set up the Target Debuffs (left of the center box) and your special ability procs (right of the center box) if you are not a warrior.
Suggested Macros:
- Recount Reset
In order to get the recount window to look clean I had to remove all the little icons. Due to this I would recommend making a reset macro for recount. Otherwise you will stack up a crap load of saved data and load up your memory.
/recount reset
- Focus
I found it helpful to create a simple focus macro. Target the person/mob you want to focus and click the macro.
/focus
- Target Self
I do not use a player portrait in this UI since Icehud shows my Health/Rage ect. I recommend that you key bind "target self" via the in-game key bind options to a key. When you press that key you will see "you" as the target in your target frame. You then right click your name to see the normal options you would get via a regular player portrait.

Archived Versions - Boda's Black Box UI (1920x1080)
Well just above the art work on the right side I have a few bars that only appear on mouse over. I use them to house things like my professions and mounts. Another has the wait lists for raids and a macro that clears the red error text.
I really have no need for a damage meter because I generally am the main tank. I have enough going on as a raid lead and a MT that I leave the dps to the other officers to watch.
I am glad you like the UI though and am pleased to see you were able to get it to work for your different resolution. I had several guild members that play on larger monitors than mine ( 19" and 22") test out its flexibility, so I was confident it would work for others.
thnx boda luv ur ui saw it on tankspot and had to get it, i play on a 22" and was able get in in postion just fine. i luv the package and wondering if you ever used WIM great for for when raid night come and get every1 to whisp RAID and every one gets a single chat box instead of a wall of purple that goes when tarde chat starts, and a dmg meter was missing too. the only only thing i didnt like was the lack or buttons which went over the top of the black wasll i think i put in 50 or so buttons got elixirs, engineering crap and my trinkets i luv my trinkets i got 2 20 sloters full of them other than those minor things great work luv the overall look
