gmUI

--- About

GmUI is a simple and clean UI for World of Warcraft.
I made it following the idea to use the settings in WTF folder less possible.
This because I usually have to share this UI with my sons and guildmates.

The addons I have used to make it are:

!BugGrabber
Ara_Broker_Guild_Friends
BasicChatMods
BigWigs
Broker_StartMenu
Broker_WorldQuests
BugSack
Butsu
DockingStation
DaftAuction
gmAchievementsCompare
gmAggroMon
gmAutopsy
gmBagsSlots
gmDurability
gmEquipSet
gmExp
gmFonts
gmHideQuestTracking
gmHideToolTip
gmLazyDelete
gmLm
gmLoot
gmMoney
gmMounts
gmPets
gmProf
gmSpecs
gmSpeed
gmVideoSwitch
GTFO
HideTalkingHead
idTip
Inventorian
oUF_Simple
oUF_SimpleConfig
rActionBar
rActionBar_Gm_sr
RaidFadeMore
rBuffFrame
rBuffFrame_Default
rButtonTemplate
rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs
rFilter
rFilter_Gm
Remgank
rMinimap
rVignette
Skada
StopResetingMyCameraPlease
Tipsy
tullaRange

Other buttons theme (instead of rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs):
rButtonTemplate_Gm
rButtonTemplate_Gm_sz
rButtonTemplate_Zork (but with this I think you can't skin the auree in my UI because different naming)


All these addons can be found usually on:
WoWInterface
Curse

--- Install

There are a couple ways to install it.

-- Automatic install (windows only)

The install script can't be upload in this archive, because usually sites like WowInterface and Curse prevents to upload .exe/.cmd files. It is a right policy and I agree with it.

Btw:
I have made a little installer script that backups your old settings and then deploys the new interface: Install-gmUI.cmd .
You exec it, choose your WoW folder, your account profile and the script can automagically deploys the UI for you.
If someone wants to check it: http://www.disturbia-guild.com/gmui is welcome.

-- Manual install

- Backup the directory /Interface/Addons then delete it
- Copy the gmUi Addons folder in /Interface

The following steps are optionals but I strongly suggests to make them to try the settings of few addons:

- Backup the directory /WTF/Account/YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME/SavedVariables then delete it
- Copy the gmUi SavedVariables folder in /WTF/Account/YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME

The settings are for the following addons:

BigWigs (settings for bar positions and textures, removed almost all default alert messages)
DockingStation (settings for font and textures)
gmFonts (change default fonts)
Skada (settings for bar positions and textures)
Tipsy (tooltip positions)
tullaRange (spell range/resources/usability colors)
BugSack (removed minimap icon)
Ara_Broker_Guild_Friends (display settings)

To reset to default settings you can use:
/gmui reset (reset ALL addons positions to the ones written in the Lua theme)

You can also check the addons webpages for further customizations and commands, but some common tasks can be accomplished using the following syntax:

/comand reset (reset the element positions to the ones written in the Lua theme)
/comand unlock (unlock the elements and move them)
/comand lock (lock the elements in the new position)


Where command are:

/rab for manage actionbars
/rmm for manage minimap
/rbf for manage buffs and debuffs
/rsim for manage the unitframe


Same examples:

---- move the actionbars to a new position:
/rab unlock
.... move the bars using ALT+SHIFT+MouseClick
/rab lock

---- reset the minimap position to the default one:
/reload
/rmm reset


--- Update an existing installation

After performing an update (following the Install instructions) I suggest you reset the frame position to the default ones:

/reload
/gmui reset
