First thing you need to know is that this is NOT a UI Compilation, it is simply a collection of artwork I made which you can use as a backdrop for your own UI design. Because this is not a compilation, you will need a small amount of experience using MODs in order to arrange and modify the various elements of your interface to get it to your own liking/arrangement.
TO USE MY ARTWORK YOU MUST INSTALL:
ElectrofluxTextronator or BTex
Either one of these MODs will place artwork on the bottom of your screen. Yes, there are other MODs which do that too, but these are the 2 most popular, so I have correctly sized, split and tested my art for these add-ons only.
REFER TO THE ADDON'S INSTALL FILES TO USE MY ARTWORK WITH IT
HOPE YOU LIKE THE ARTWORK!!
DarkUI - My First UI, made to be neutral in color as to not distract from the game area, as well as functional and clean looking. (256px High)
NexusUI - Based on the Nexus Instance, its a taller background with plenty of space for buttons, 2 chat windows and has an area in the center to place a round minimap. (512px High)
ShadowFangUI - A very slim but stylish background, made for the "minimalist" who just needs somewhere for their buttons, chat and meters. (256px High)
ZukDrakUI - A more elaborate, detailed UI based off the Zul'Drak Zone in Northrend. It has lots of room for buttons, chat, meters, ect which can be arranged many different ways. (256px High)
I can be contacted in-game through World of Warcraft: Shaylea - Gnome Warlock, on the Whisperwind Realm
Originally posted by Morganite Hi, I just downloaded these texture addons but I seem to have either no idea what I am doing, or have come across a problem. I am trying to use your DarkUI (I had to convert it to .tga for the BTex addon) and it just isn't working. I type in DarkUI on the custom option and click Apply the Skin and nothing happens. I've read that a texture/skin has to have 4 different files to make 1. Is that correct, incorrect, do you know? Thanks -Morg
Yeah Btex doesn't work right now. Try the other one he mentioned.

Its correct, and you dont need to convert the textures to TGA (And cant anyhow because the GIF image doesnt contain the proper layers you need)
When you extract the file to your hard drive after downloading, there are 4 .gif files.. thoes are SAMPLES of what the UI looks like.. they are to be deleted.
There is a directory called "UI ARTWORK" in the archive.. THATS what holds the .TGA files you need to move/use with Btex or ElectroFlux. There are 16 TGA files in that directory. Thoes are what you need

Originally posted by gxr14 Thanks for the art. I would like to know if you have any more. I am trying to use different looks for my different toons.
Im working on a few more yes.. but they arnt available yet for download. Ill be releasing a second Telnets UI 2 when I have enough finished that im happy with to put together a pack, Thanks for the interest! Its a good motivator to keep doin them :P
Originally posted by roguegenius well if it didnt work on your ui why would you use it lol i think you just cant be bothered to share lol
Im not sure I understand what you mean..
Everything on MY UI works fine and I have it the way I want it.. but just because I package up my addons folder and my WTF folder and allow others to download it, doesnt mean it will work flawlessly on thier machine with other mods, other settings, or other resolutions.
Since the only addon I created was the artwork, and all the other addons are available for download from here or from curse. What i dont want to be bothered with is answering questions about why someones minimap isnt working, or why thier unit frames are giving them an error. I didnt make thoes mods.. so if something goes wrong with them, it should be the author of them that helps you out. I made/drew some graphics to be used as a background, that makes me an "artist", not a programmer..
If my ARTWORK is giving someone a problem I will offer support.
Originally posted by Telnets Thanks, but unfortunately i really dont want to upload my UI, not that i cant or anything, but then i would have to start supporting it and i REALLY dont want to answer questions all day about why things arnt working :P
To help you out though, im not using a whole lot of mods, and you can grab them yourself and set them up pretty easily.
The ones I am using are:
Bartender4 - Button Addon
ChatMOD - Chat Addon
XPBarNone - XP/Rep Bar addon (Disabling the one included in Bartender4)
Bagnon - Bag/bank addon
ELKBuffBars - Buff addon
DoTimer - another buff addon to track my dots as a lock/dk
Chinchilla - Map addon (Used to use SimpleMiniMap as well)
PitBull - Unit Frame Addon
Quartz - Castbarr Addon
Recount - DPS meter
TinyTip - ToolTip Addon
ElectroFlux - For the artwork
Thats all im using pretty much.. and all of the mods are available through WowMatrix or on these UI sites.. they are all pretty simple to configure too.
Enjoy
well if it didnt work on your ui why would you use it lol i think you just cant be bothered to share lol
God... this is one of the most detailed backgrounds for UI that I've even seen! Congrats on those!
and I hope to see more in the future D:
have you tried inspiration for doing class-based backgrounds?

Originally posted by thejunglegod ok..somehow im unable to use the artwork...i do exactly what the readme asks me to---first i copy all the artwork textures to the textures folder...then i go in game....type /et art texture darkui-1...a message says that texture has been set to darkui-1 but nothing changes....it still stays the same.....the tree one.....any help with this???
its /et art texture DarkUI
not Darkui-1
Freakor, not sure whats causing that, gotta be a mod, but btex to my knowledge doesnt touch your chat window. If your running a chat mod, look into it and see if it got "locked" somehow.. if not, check the interface settings in wow, and make sure thats not set to locked either..
As for unit frames, nah ill probably not work on any, as everyone likes thier frames a little different and with programs like pitbull you can configure everything anyhow.. plus, honestly, i dont wanna get into the trouble shooting aspect if they arnt working for someone ;P
for now, ill be sticking to background textures, and just letting people run thier own mods as they see use.
