AUTOMATED INSTALLATION With multi-resolution support.
NOTE: WoWInterface no longer supports EXE files within the archives. If you have to have the installer, please download the package from:
http://files.filefront.com/Sewell+UI+050+Installerrar/;10018922;/fileinfo.html
Sewell UI supports the following resolutions:
800x600
1024x768
1280x768 ws
1080x800 ws
1280x854
1280x1024
1400x1050
1600x1200
1600x1050 ws
plus the majority of resolutions with 1.25, 1.33, 1.6, and 1.66 aspect ratios
------------------
PLEASE READ:
The latest version of Sewell UI includes an ingame command -- /sewellui -- that autoconfigures the layout based on your resolution! Hot damn.

INSTALLATION:
1) Run the installer
2) When prompted, select your WoW directory
3) Allow the installer to umcompress the UI - this will take several minutes
3) A dos cmd will run, when prompted enter your Login name (THIS IS NOT YOUR CHARACTER NAME, this is the login name that you enter when logging in to WoW)
4) Let the installer work it's magic! (it will create backups of your interface and savedvariables folders as well as install Sewell UI)
5) Load up WoW - on character selection window, click "Addons" in lower left and make sure that "Load out of date addons" is checked on that dialog box.
6) Pick a char and login
7) When you first see your screen it will be scrambled - type /sewellui
8) Follow the additional recommended steps that show up in your chat window - there will be 3 additional commands that need to be entered
9) You will have to unlock your chat win and resize it into the space provided - Right click the tab on top of chat win, unlock, move it, use edges to resize
10) Enjoy!
CHANGELOG:
041508 - Updated all addons to 2.4. RELEASE NOTES: Still not 100% happy with button layouts on aspect ratios other than 1.25. I will more than likely be correcting that over the course of the next couple weeks.
112907 - Added RAR option for download.
111707 - removed a TON of additional addons. You will now need to supply your own threat meter, map addon, etc. Updated sewellui lua script to be 2.3 compliant
072707 - Automated installer, /sewellui LUA, multiple resolution support. You may still have to play with Pitbull, because for some reason their profiles can't be called globally from a lua script... BTW - credit goes to Ansu of SpartanUI - the majority of the auto-config code is his creation.
071207 - Updated several plugins and deleted some to address loading times
062507 - Updated several plugins - added some new ones - Updated unit frames layouts to be more configurable - Updated Raid layouts
061107 - Updated some settings in lua files that were causing a weird error message.
061007 - Fixed PVP/BG Raid frames using Grid as default now. Tweaked lua for pitbull to improve player/target frames - Minor adjustments to quartz and pitbull settings.
060507 - Updated to Pitbull (instead of AG_UF), other small additions, major overhall of the top portion of the screen. Changed the lower portion to house damage meter and map on lower right side, left side now contains two chat windows on top of each other. Changed the spell/trinket cooldown timers to omnicc to free up more screen real-estate.
053007 - Updated 2.1 plugins, removed additional WTF layouts - they were causing problems - updated installation directions
052607 - Updated 2.1 plugins, added 3 options for WTF layouts
052407 - Added note about 2.1 Patch.
050307 - NONE. This is the first release!
NOTICE: IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS - if you hit problems, you probably need to pop a ritalin and re-read the directions.
Read these forums first, read the wowace.com forums for specific addon problems, if you think it's a problem with the installation, I need to know if there are addons in your interface\addons directory, are my saved variables copied to your wtf\REALM\LOGINNAME\savedvariables directory? what happens when you type in /sewellui in the game. what resolution are you running.
If you are a tank, you will probably want to disable BANZAILIB in the pitbull, module settings. Otherwise, while you have aggro, the entire screen will be flashing red...
I heard about this ui from a guildie today... He's a newbcake about ui's and myself... well, lets just say I played with eePanels, Bartender and such and cleaned up a "bit" of my screen...
However, now after installing this ui I realize one thing with clarity: I'm the true newbcake about Ui's...
Your work blew me away and I really like it... Ofc I'll add some additional addons that I simply can't live without, but the core to build up on and give a lil personal touch as well...
Keep this splendid work up =)
Oh, and on a sidenote... Is it possible for future releases to have a "reverse" about the backed up files etc? If people wanna go back to what they had be4 trying this one out =)
I absolutely LOVE you UI and have been using it for nearly a year now. Everything works fantastic with it, and I use quite a few additional mods and have no compatibility issues. Anyway, my question is are you going to have an update when WotLK comes out? I hope you say yes, I dont know how I will play without SewellUI!
Hey guys .. 2 things.
After running a full update on the addons where i updater EVERYTHING i los the eepanel thing .. the addon is still functioning but the grey-area on the screen is gone.
will it be enough to fix it by getting the addon and the saved variable from the RAR?
second thing. I'm going from a 17" screen to a 20" widescreen today.
Will i have to reinstall the compilation to go with the new screen mode or will this fix itself?
Bags here, and im still rocking 5.0 hard. just had a though, with lich king coming out soon, i'm wondering whats your plans for a new UI for the expansion. will it be like 5.0 or something totally new. just curious bro cause i know the new patch 3.0 will basically screw up alot of things in our UI anyway so i just wanted get whatever info i can to get a head start in preparing.
but regardless..your UI is the best and im happy to still represent your work on the US Bloodhoof server

First off i like to thank the maker of this UI I have been using it for a couple of days and I LOVE IT! There is one little thing that bugs me though. I want to get the same gloss over the buttons that there are on the screenshots. I saw CyCircled came with the Volm addon and thats the exact button style im looking for but how is it possible to get the gloss over it just like the screenshot? Any help is appreciated Thanks!
Thought I would check in to see how the forums were going. Only a couple scrambled screens = good times! For the most part I see people are figuring it out nicely.
I have made several changes to the raid layouts... will probably post patch .lua files for grid. I have since stopped using Pitbull for all grouping and am only using it for player, target, target of target, and focus. The rest is handled using Grid. Good times.
I used Sewell 4.0 in the past and wanted to use this new version. All I get is a scrambled screen with circular buttons and /sewellui does nothing, I wish it worked like 4.0 did.
As promised, here are the screens of my UI. Majority of the Credit goes to Sewell. This is just the variation i use for my larger monitor. Partly because i am hard of seeing when something becomes so tiny.
I love ya, Sewell, but baggins had to go man. i think i kept pretty much everythign else, and added a few things. any questions, lemme know via PM. if it's concerning Sewell's UI, be kind, ask the man himself and take it easy on him.
gosh. if it wasn't for life being as it is, i'd almost forgotten about these forums.
I know, terrible of me. but, alas, having a daughter will do that to a man. (five weeks old now)
But, not too long ago i had purchased a nice, new gateway, sporting the new phenom quad core yes, i splurged myself.
But i play on a 32" monitor, a size clearly not supportted by our good man Sewell's ui.
Well, after procuring a new comp, figured i'd check out the UI i love, and so ventured back here. Found out i'm in the credits. WHOOT. i will continue to support sewell, as well as offer insight and beta test his UI. check me in a little bit, i gotta go login and snag a nice screen shot with my Mage (the now lvl 26 priest shots don't use all the buttons Nimune does, so.)
Things continue to grow and flourish for Sewell as i see his download ticks slowly creep upwards. I wish you the best of luck ,and keep them amazing Ui's coming, bro.

Ciao

after installing this new version of sewellui i seem to have lost the sound of clearcasting, very annoying and decreases active dps. Any ideas what might be causing this?
