Introduction
Gnomon seeks to alleviate the dichotomy that is created between both the PvP and PvE environments. Named aptly for the astute mage, it strives to complete the former while keeping its design as minimal and professional as possible. Gnomon is not for the beginning World Of Warcraft player. To obtain its minimalistic approach, it delves into the player's subconscious focusing on heavy key bindings and knowledge of the game as a collective whole.
Description
The main layout is now a cacophonous medley of asymmetry. This makes finding important information much more easy than before.
The location of each component accomplishes the higher goal set in place: to let the player realize key information as quickly and as clearly as possible.
Much effort was placed in perfecting the alignment and spacing of the compilation down to each and every pixel. Certain addons had to have their specific .lua files edited in order to accomplish this, so it is advised not to update any of these addons: Recount, DBM, SharedMedia.
The design of the unit frames was created in such a way to be unique, yet at the same time not overly complicated; it is very obvious to see any changes that take place. This plays a key role in fast-paced environments such as arena where knowing when to counterspell which opponent as soon as possible, for example, is a vital aspect.
Installation
- Extract the .rar to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft or wherever the base installation directory of the game is located.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account. Change USER to your account name. Navigate inside that folder and change REALM to your character's realm. Navigate inside that folder and change CHARACTER to your character's name.
- Start World Of Warcraft, make sure all addons are enabled, and login. Go to Interface->Addons and load the Gnomon profiles for each addon in the list that has the profile feature. Similarly, load the same profile name for PitBull (/pit), AzCastBar (/acb), kgPanels (/kgpanels config), and SLDataText (/sldt).

As a final note, this compilation is only guaranteed to work on a 1280x1024 resolution monitor. Any other resolution would in all likelihood require at least some very simple and easy reconfiguring of some or all of the addons used.
