MAJOR CHANGES
POO UI HAS UNDER GONE SEVERAL MAJOR CHANGES PLEASE READ BEFORE USING
Firstly sorry for the delay in updates, not much has been changed as far as the core addons, but there are core differences now, as well as visual ones. The popularity amazes me, between Wowinterface, and Curse, im up to 5000 downloads, THATS F'N CRAZY. So ive been raiding lik crazy on my new server, 5/5 SSC 4/4 TK 1/5 Hyjal. Trying to get into BT if people would do those quests (little bit of advice, DO your damn smv quests people...PLEASE for the love of god, especially your faction ones) So this Ui has been changed to fit my needs, its much slimmed down, a little lights some stuff was dropped.
Things your gonna notice off the bat
1) the top bar is MUCH smaller. This is do to the lack of raid frames up there. there are a few things up there still, natur enemy cast bars (well the cd's one) and party frames, fubar that kinda thing.
2) i no longer use the ag unit raid frames. I needed the room up top and switched to grid full time. Its ez to use and customize and there are many many threads/articles/posts on it.
3) THERE IS NO KLH THREAT METER HERE (also known as ktm) My guild has switched to omen, and though omen transfers data back and forth to ktm, it can come out...a bit odd on your meters, the ktm meter has been moved slightly as well, so if you re install it, and get rid of omen you will have to move some things around. THERE IS NO KTM/KLH THREAT METER
4) comabt log was moved as was swstats, xraid status, nothing to big here, everything should be fine.
thats about it besides minor tweaks here and there. If you start doing som bg's i rcomend turning on fubar batlgeground fu (click any open spot on fubar to find it) as i have hidden the minimap icon.
Do to the fact i DONT use my laptop much for wow atm either especially raiding, I have not maid a standard version LOOKING FOR HELP HERE!!!

a review of updates as well as thought of the philosophy of design behind this addon
This is an addon compilation that I have been working on for some time, I used mazzle from the day it was released before this, and decided to try my own. I want to Thank Mazz for giving me the inspiration adn teaching me about so many addons i knew nothing about, Thanks mazz.
INTRO
This ui is based of skinner and ag unit frames at the core, and was built for MY needs as a warlock, I am looking for some help with oteh classes, bu more on that later. The idea for this set up came from mazzlue ui, but I got sick of having every thing all over my screen. So for the most part, everything you need is burried into the two bars. ONly things off the main bars are buffs, SCT player/target/pet/focus/ToT/ToTT and Dot timers.
Though tee are a few extra things hiding in fubar that i will probably be pulling off (still working in the background) THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, that being said, heres whats being looked at.
THE BARS
Now when you open up the poo ui, u see 2 gigantic bars. the bottom bar/main bar consists of 7 panels made by skinner. The left panel is for chat. several chat windows are layered including a general chat, which is all your chat info, a party/raid chat, guild chat, private chat and a combat log.
The right panel is for combat logging, the right way using eaves drop. a well rounded combat tracking add-on.
THe bottom enter panel is for your main core of action buttons. Being a warlock, i have a ton. it also has a "farming bar" where i place things like motes and what not for easy visibility, as well as consumables, quest items etc. the pet bar is opposite this farm bar. This panel also contains shard ace, a warlock mod which is lighter weight and simpler than necrosis. I would put druid bar aspect bar etc here as well, but i have yet to mess around with other classes as i only have one character over 10.
The center panel is for mini map, Cool-downs and xraid status, XRS is a highly configurable addon to monitor the status of your raid, mana, health classes, buff people etc. Cooldowns is just what it says, bundled with Dotimer it is a very good addon at tracking all your cooldowns. The left panel contains extra bars and info. Included is autobar, a configurable bar for all your consumables or what ever else u might want to put in there. Trinket menu for keping your trinkets safe and warm. Target charms, no more right clicking for fast targeting. Trades bar, all your trades/skills/professions right at your finger tips. Status window provides things like fps memory and latency, as well as what ever else you might want to add. Also my littl "something extra" bar is here including mounts, and my rank 1 spells for detecting stealth...arenas people..cant sneak up on me
the opposite panel is for ktm and damage meters. Ktm is a MUST have raiding addon for most bosses and more importantly deadly trash mobs. And of course dmg meters for all you big ego people or warlocks with over 1100 shadow dmg..
and finally the top bar is for your casting bar.
The top bar is for raid/party/pets bars, as well as for item rack. as well as cooldowns and other bars from natur enemy castbar. fubar is also located on the top bar whic is a controle center for many addons as well as a quick way to check thinks like rep, freinds guild and other things. The center section of fubar is for timer. dps and top score info.
UNIT FRAMES
THe unit frames are all done through ag unit frames. They are all ment to be NO-BS straight up info frames. They like almost every other bar in the ui is done with glaze texture. From left to right, pet bar, your bar, target of target, target of target's target on the bottom, target, and focus. there is an option to enable focus targets, but i have yet to decide if i want to do this. The top of the frame contains your party and part pets, as well as raid frames. now set up for 25man raids, i have yet to figure out a way to set up so 10/25 man's have a different setup but its in the works. if you doa 40 man, im sorry its not even remotly set up for that. though all the unit frames are dragable.
RAIDING
as stated above, ag unit frames make up the raid frames. also installed is deadly boss mods. Though if you prefer bigwigs, al you have to do is install them, turn of deadly and they are already set up. XRS as previusly stated is already set up so your good to go. ora2 is also installed for raid managment, a ligh wait version of ctraid, it works very well, adn has MT frames set up. Whats that? your raid leaders dont use CTRaid or ora2? well mt assist is installed but inactive, turn it on and add your self some custom tanks. you'll also note ktm is nice and easy to see as well as sw stats, both of these will help you know when your pulling aggro, and who your doing better than in your raid.
Combat/pvp
whats that, want a hightened edge for pvp ad combat. Are you like me and dont play with audio? Well witchhunt has you there with text anounces of nearby actions, like that rogue who just vanished behind a tree, or when magtheridon starts casting blast wave. Damn, if only you knew when the blacksmith's was about to be capped, well between deadly bossmods and capping you have two sets of bars to choose from. capping also has timers for ques and arenas etc. with Banzai and Banzai-auf you will know exactly who has aggro, expecialy if it's you, who ever in your party/raid has aggro their HP bar will turn bright cherry red. Wow nice crit, how much was it for, mus have been a personal record. Well with SCT/SCTD u can know what you hit for, as they are nicely placed on the screen. Ontop of that, Topscore_FU keeps track of your tops hits/crits for all of your spells/heals. yea, thats right 30k curse of doom on curator..sexy huh? With dottimer comes a whole slew of goodies, not only dot timers, but it works for HOTs too, right in the middle of your screan so you will never forget. Cooldown sits in the afor mentioned location and trakcs all of your cooldowns. im working on a way to convert these bars to gloss too
OTHER STUFF
want an extra reminder about your clear castiing? or maybe something for your nightfall proc? type /powa and add in your trinkets, events, If you notice, i have 1 for nightfal, 1 for each of my trinlets, 1 set down around my curse bar for when ever one is missing, one for amplify curse , with over 50 built in textures and as many more as u want to add, you ui will light up like disney land. Tons of stuff hiding awway up in fubar, like guild/friends fu, or swstats fu, or spamsentry, block that gold farming chat. there are many other goodies up there. Elkanos buff bars, simple easy to see, and hey they are in gloss. Item rack is a handy way to see your gear, switch out items quickly, so you can change all your gear in 1 click. there are many other things running around, hiding in tooltips and in windows, any questions feel free to ask them
looking for help
Looking for help from any non warlock classes, as i dont have a high level character, bars WILL not be set up properly, as well as handy dandy addons like aspect bars, or shape bars etc. I will also bee looking for help with a none widescrean version. Im workin on one with my laptop, but its very tiny 12" and i wont ever raid with it, so im not sure. This isnt really ment as a healing ui, so preists pallies..you may be a bit s.o.l. but def looking for hunter, druid warrior rogue mage healp looking for a compact addons spicific to the class

thanks again to all the autors of the many addons i use.
I don't use complilations... but this one looks great!
I've downloaded it, deleted my addons folder and my wtf folder and copied over the new ones. However, when I log into wow, my UI doesn't look anything like the screen shots...
Is there shorthand way of setting this up? or am I going to have to set each mod up individually.
1. Delete your WTF, Interface, and Cache folders.
2. Log into the game, and load a character.
3. Log out.
4. Download the mod.
5. Install the mods into Interface/AddOns.
6. DO NOT install the WTF folder that came with the mod.
7. Log into the game and see if it works.
If that works, you'll have to set up the mods, but that's really just a one-time thing.
Now..that sounds like it going to work..but..The amount of work in setting up that UI just seems like a full days work..especially when i dont know what half of em do.
Also, any chance of when your next upload might be? it might possibly fix the problem im having..you never know
EDIT: Didnt Work...i hate to say it but ill have to give up...its obviously something in my WoW that i cant find..While this was the only UI That ive seen that i really like..ill just go back to my old one.
Thanks for the help..hopefully one day youll find the issue.
So..those DS_Store files..i wanted to see what they were..so natuarlly i didnt have the program to open it..so me being my stupid self..opened it with notepad.
Now all the files are notepad files...any way that i can change this back? becuase it causing everything to be out of place when i log in
EDIT: Guildy told me to make them wordpad files..all is working fine now
EDIT EDIT: Okay...i went and completly reinstalled WoW..downloaded the UI..and set it up and logged out normally. Came back in and everyone was back to unknown and i get DCed..
any ways, obviusly logging out isnt a problem for me i do it alot and seem fine. Also macro creation wouldn't inherintly cause trouble, not that i can think of, especialy once u delete all mine, lol.
i tried installing ktm and grp calander today, had no issues, i would back up ur wtf and itnerface folder, 2 delete the contents of ur wtf and itner face folder (not the backups) and 3 re download the ui and install.
I've been continueing the overhaul on this ui. upcoming changes include the lack of xraid status being active (still included..just not on) ora2 cooldowns are now always on and prominant, grid has under gone many visual changes including font textures all of which make it easier on the eyes. Im now using Morganti buff bars onto of elkano, elkano is hadnling debuffs and weapon buffs atm, and morganti is handling buffs. Item rack has been moved. Added new addons like ogri'lazy, niagra and aloft. Dictched omni cc for cooldowncount, ocne again easier to see. umm...what else...ummm super macro is included. All this and more will be in the NEXT upload. im trying to decide between deadly boss mods and bigwigs...im unning both side by side, and in bt/hyja;; they both display different info, for now they are both included.
Well..i went and redid the whole thing...after i exited the entire game and got off for about 4 hours i came back..and had the same issue with everyone being unknown..i did nothing to any of the files after i got it setup and downloaded nothing
Anyways, thanks for looking into it..im really loving your UI and hope i can sort it out by Tuesday at the latest. Luckily our guild had some issues this week and we arnt raiding
EDIT:Ive been testing around with it..it seems that just exiting WoW completely will cause this issue..as when i go open up wow and log in again..i have everyone unknown again.
Although the first time i downloaded it..it worked fine, then the next day i made macros and logged out and came back later..then i had the issue. I really dont think its macros..but could it be?
P.S Sorry for my use of ... its a bad habit i havent been able to break.
Originally posted by sclopper Having some issues...my guild uses group calendar and KTM..so i installed these 2 addons, yes i did get rid of omen first..but when i logged in everyone shows up unknown and a disconnect shortly after
So i got rid of KTM and Group calendar..and put back in Omen...im still having the same issue...do you have any idea what this issue might be?
Thanks in advance
hmm, thats odd, i will dl these 2 addons and try them my self and see what happens. Group calander is horrible btw, get a web page...lol. Seriusly my guild used to use it, but having 1/2 or more of the guild having to have the guildmaster put them into group calander cause it wouldnt register their sign ups...sucked. maybe its gotten better since febuary

Originally posted by Xanithon Quite a large download, but I understand why.
I would've thought that you'd make 3 Interfaces: PooUI 4:3, PooUI Wide, PooUI Healer - type thing.
Got it "working as intended".
I did have that, but atm the 4:3 aint working and i dont know what to do with eaves drop for the healer version so its kinda just needs t be moved
and all those addons will do that to u...soo many addons its CRAZY
