Update 6/17/09:
*New Release. Since Ulduar and the patches have settled down a bit I am releasing an updated version. It is the same UI (with some minor tweaks) so users that are happy with their current version of the UI (or if you altered it to your liking) do not need to grab the new release unless you want to.
This should fix any issues users are having with profiles and updating addons. Please refer to my profile instructions below if you have any issues. I have also included a screen shot of X-perl functions I disable to make the UI operate as I run it.
Special Thanks Goes Out To: Wowinterface.com for hosting my UI.
The addon authors that created the mods used in this UI.
The users who have made this UI popular. I never imagined I would get this many downloads. I appreciate all the kind words I have received here and in my tankspot.com thread. It's your positive comments that keep me maintaining my UI for public download. The many hours I have spent creating and servicing this UI have been well worth it. I even had a few users create lvl 1's on my server just to pop on and say thank you.
Thank you all and Enjoy!

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.
This UI is specifically designed for several things:
- Warriors
- Click Players
- Raid Tanks
- Raid Leaders
- 1080x1024 Resolution (17" Monitor)
Install Instructions:
1) Delete or backup your Interface and WTF folders.
2) Download the UI and extract it to your WoW Folder.
3) 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. Make sure the folder name is changed to an original WoW account name and not a new, linked e-mail address for the folder name.
4) Go into the WTF Folder and rename the appropriate folders with YOUR info.
- Account Name (All Caps)
- Realm/Server Name (First Letter Cap)
- Change "Bodasafa" to your characters name (First Letter Cap)
5) Go to www.curse.com, download and install the addon manager. All the addons for this UI come from it. This will update all of the addons every time you exit WoW. DO NOT UPDATE ANY ADDONS until you log in and set the profiles!!
6) Profiles: Log in and use the following slash commands to open the configs and select the "Bodasafa - Eldre'Thalas" profile for each:
- /bt
- /omen config
- /statuswindow
- /xperl
- /sbf options
- /chinchilla
- /chatter
- /sct menu
- If any of the addons appear to be out of place check the configs for them to see if you can select a profile with "Bodasafa". At this time I am unaware of any others than the above.
7) I do not use a player portrait in this UI since Archud2 shows my Health/Rage ect. I recommend that you key bind "target self" via the in-game options to a key (by default it will be the "star" key on the number pad). When you press that key you will see "you" as the target in the center top box. You then right click your name to see the normal options you would get via a player portrait.
8) I believe that "Your" macros and keybinds are now saved server side to your account. But if they are not I will leave this part in.
Be sure to change your key bindings. This UI is designed for click players. I use very few key bindings and only use the number pad on the keyboard to move and preform a select amount of other abilities.
-By Default the following will be key bound on your number pad:
* Target Self
- Auto Run
+ Jump
.(del) Target Nearest Enemy
0(Ins) Target Previous Enemy
7 Strafe Left
8 Move Forward
9 Strafe Right
4 Move Left
5 Baud Mark (hold to use)
6 Move Right
2 Move Back
9) Log out of wow to save the changes.
10) Log in and Enjoy.
Other Classes and Resolutions FAQ:
The resolution for this UI is 1080x1024. But you can easily 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 slight adjustments. Such as the position of the Raid Frames, MT targets from X-pearl, or the Buff Groups from SBF. This is all easily done by unlocking the anchors or left click dragging.
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. You quite simply have to spend a little bit of time understanding the config's for the addons involved and move them yourself.
Additionally this UI can work with many other classes and specs. However I would only advise this if you know how to use the config's for the addons in this UI. Please read the information for SBF located here:http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ffFrames3.html 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 target box) and your special ability procs (right of the center target box) if you are not a warrior.
Addon List (All addons can be found on either Wowinterface.com or Curse.com):

Addon Tips:
- Baud Mark, Target a mob. By default if you press and hold the "5" key on your number pad (and you have marking rights) you will bring up a wheel around you cursor with raid symbols. Simply left click to apply. To change this keybind go into the blizzard keybind menu, Baud Mark will be near the bottom.
- Chatter, If you need to move the chat windows, they work just like the default blizzard ones. If you have omen open it will cover the tabs though and you will not be able to select them. Simply click the omen icon in the mini-map buttons to close the omen window, then hover over the area above the chat box. I have chat labeled as "1" and the combat log labeled as "2". Just right click the tabs to unlock and move as needed.

Originally posted by Rhuin I love this UI but I cannot get it to work!
I follow all of your steps, put the Interface and WTF folders into my WoW folders after removing the original ones. I then change the account name, server and character names as you say. I go into the game and try to change the profiles and your name doesnt show up!
Please help! I love this UI!
Ok first things first.
Are you seeing any of my UI or are you just not able to select profiles?
After installing my UI you will see basically what I have in the screen shots here on the download page but some things may be out of place.
If you are not seeing anything that looks like my UI at all after installing, you are doing something wrong on your end with the install.
Are you checking to make sure you are installing my UI to your regular Wow folders and not a PTR(Public Test Realm) folder?

Originally posted by anthony3324 I love this UI, its great. Ive been using it for a couple days now and im just wondering when you enter a vehicle ( such as flame levi, wintgrasp, maly, etc) will the abilities of the vehicles show up?
Yes the top action bar auto converts to the abilities of your vehicle and there will be a "leave vehicle" button to the left of your character, center screen.
Originally posted by Bodasafa The tooltip issue is from probably from tiptac. Type /tiptac to go through the options and check there.
For the minimap buttons, you right click the Mini Map itself to get into the config to turn on stuff, also in conjunction with Mini Map Button Frame which can be accessed through your standard blizz menu sub section interface, in the addons tab.

Originally posted by theblackdeat love the UI, been using it since december(ish). love the revamp. one change i did was to swap the target frame to use X-perl's (i like the summarized numbers more, 20M/24M is al lot easier to understand than 20152367/24000000, as well as the general feel of the frame and its targetoftarget (im more bars than numbers :P) ). i also removed what i think was Xraidstatus and replaced it with Recount for my own vanity(i DPS too) because RBS(Raidbuffstatus) has some similar bars, of which i never pay attention to on either addon. (my shaman uses that space for his Flototembars. tight fit, but i made it work. i can send ya Screenshots if ya like.
one thing though. and im not sure what addon is blocking it, but when i mouse over target's debuffs, i dont get a tooltip. bit of a conveniece thing but it has gotten in my way a few times. if its part of X-perl, know which option to swap out? ive been scouring it forever.
also, with the minimap buttons in the top left of the main cluster, i dont feel like im getting them all (BG icons dont show up so i cant ghetto hearth from WG : / ) any clue on how to get that to show up?
other than that, its a very nice package and i very much enjoy it. a little tweaking and it works just fine for a clicker/hotkeyhybrid feral druid tank raid leader.thanks for all the work

First off thanks!
Second the issues with chinchilla are due to the changes they have made to keep up with minor patch changes. The config is fairly easy to figure out just right click on the minimap to bring up the options resize and drop it in the box I have made for it.

Originally posted by Bodasafa Im curious what was the issue?
I had that same issue with profiles not showing up when I d/l 5.1. Went back and installed the archived 5.0 version and everything worked fine. Am I missing something with 5.1?
On a side note, I'm looking for some feed back from users of this UI.
1) Did you find my install instructions easy to follow?
2) If not, what would you have me word differently?
3) Is there any other helpful information or screen shots I could provide on my download page?
Originally posted by chasmansb Very nice UI... i got everything to work fine and i play on a 50 inch tv as a 1808x1004(wide) setting. IT was very easy to get everything to fit and look good
