Update: Changed a few things around, updated all add ons. Just a minor update. This one should be virtually error free - but if you run into anything, please let me know.
LeveeUI is a lightweight compilation for any class. It has been tested extensively under raid environments, group environments, and PvP.
LeveeUI strives to be as informative and aesthetically pleasing as possible while maintaining low(ish) memory usage. Average memory usage is around 15 megabytes - we are striving to make it a little more lightweight.
- Included Add-Ons -
AtlasLoot - By popular request, I've included Atlas' loot browser!

Click the 'Download' link on the right side of this page.
Save LeveeUI to your desktop.
Open LeveeUI via WinRAR or an another ZIP program.
Drag the Interface, WTF, and Fonts folders into your World of Warcraft directory.
Open the WTF folder, rename YOUR ACCOUNT NAME (All Caps) to your account name (i.e. LEVEESHAMAN).
Open your account folder, rename Your Server Name (i.e. Uldum).
Open your server name, rename Your Character Name (i.e. Levee).
Load World of Warcraft, login to your account, make sure "Load Outdated Addons" is checked.
Type /reflux switch LeveeUI (Case sensitive!)
You'll have to manually move Recount and the chat bars - I haven't figured out how to get those to work with reflux yet. :x
????
Profit!
Thanks: To all the authors that strive every day to make WoW an easier, more fun game to play. We are all thankful for the hard work you put in!
And also, huge thanks to Menkt - who gave me the drive to finish the new UI, and the SharedMedia folder to do it.

hmm, i was thinking of something else which clearly wasn't the problem.
try going into the "move anything" options, go down to "vehicle bar" and make sure that the "vehicle seat indicator" isn't hidden and is positioned on your screen (hit reset if its not).
Originally posted by Whiskey_Oktober to change the fonts you need to go into each addon manually and change it :/ it's a pain, i know. i too am not a huge fan of the font, but it works and im far too lazy to go and change it.
the vehicle thing is an easy fix. go into bartender, select your primary action bar (bar 1 i would assume), click on the 'state configuration' tab and check the "Possess bar".
ahh ok the font... bleh .hehe. im lazy for that. oh well.

Originally posted by Levee Just as a short form of update, there are a few changes coming down the pipeline.
I'll be switching the UI from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080. I've been using a 24" monitor for the past two or three months, and just have kept the UI at the old resolution for the sake of the users. My time is becoming more and more limited, so I don't want to have to update two different versions of the UI... one for myself, and one for the users. 1680x1050 users will still be able to move things around to make them fit, but 1920x1080 users will find that their lives just got a little easier when downloading my compilation.
I'm also changing quite a few addons around for lower memory usage addons... Recount is being changed to Skada, for instance. This should help everyone in general. If you prefer the old addons, just redownload them and set them up yourself.
I apologize for the lack of support the past few weeks... it's been stressful iRL. I'm sure you all understand, and there are a few other users here that constantly help people before I even get the chance to see the requests - and I thank you all for that, you know who you are.
Rest assured, an update is coming down the intertubes soon... I'm still writing the full LUA version of the UI... but it's a slow process.
some suggestions for making it more light weight:
Move Anything seems to cause the most delay (it's the only lag i get from this UI, and it's unnecessary. can all be done with a simple LeveeUI_Settings addon that places the frames).
Quartz is completely unnecesary, you can make the Stuf castbars look the same and have the same functionality (took me about 1/2 hr to set that up, which isn't all that long).
also could scrap kgpanels and put the frames in the LeveeUI_Settings addon that i mentioned earlier, it's a nice addon for when you're first setting up the frames, but once you know how you want them it's pretty easy to set them up in lua instead (this however does take a good amount of time, but is easy to do).
I believe those are all generally considered to be light weight addons really, but in my experience Move Anything and Quartz actually cause a lot of lag. and Quartz makes no sense to use because you already have an addon using memory that can provide the same functionality.
however, i honestly see no reason for this to be more lightweight, unless people have a PC that's over 6 years old (or incredibly budget models), in which case they really shouldn't expect to be able to run good games on it anyway.

hmm...... anyone else ever had stuf (unit frames) in this layout just reset all variables for no reason? just wondering 'cuz i like this ui but might replace stuf with something else.
hmm, i think i shoulda posted this in the stuf thread really.
anyway, i just set it all up again and made the saved variables read only..... seems to work fine.

Everytime I download a Compilation package. I follow the instructions with the exception of changing the account info in the WTF folders since I can easily do it when I load wow and just select the server etc.
I delete the WTF, Fonts, and Interface folders. I then unzip the in this case LeveeUI WTF, Fonts, and Interface folders into my wow dir. - I then load wow, select my server, load out of date addons, and load my game.
When my game loads it looks messy obviously. I type in /reflux switch LeveeUI, it refreshes the video, and boom, its even more messy. Everything is in the center of my screen, **** everywhere etc.
Am I supposed to manually move everything to its specified location? am I doing something wrong?
I really appreciate the help.
I really hope you're not serious. If you don't change what's in the WTF folders then the compilation will not work correctly. You obviously don't know how to read directions at all.

Absolutely my fav. UI! took a bit to get things in the right places on my 1366 x 768 but got it all positioned without many problems at all and it looks great!
not sure if you're up for suggestions, but i'm a action bar junkie O.o, need at least 6 full action bars (7 preferable) for my buttons so i just made 3 4 5 6 the full 12 slots, no need to move them and it's nice, just think it would be cool if the UI had an option to do that and make the panels change size to match the change (working on extending all of them right now).
also, I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but this UI changed all my keybinds, took me a bit to get them set up again, was just gonna suggest that you see aboot making it not do that or including a addon that'll save the keybind scheme to a profile so that it can be replaced easier (their saved on server, so backing up wtf wont help with that).
but all in all, took a bit of set up due to me resolution and had to do some rebinding but it's beautiful! really looks great!
also, if there's a way for me to help you have the settings for 1366 x 768 lemmie know, i have all the unit frames and such fixed into the correct positions, i could let you know what they are if u want. i think this resolution isn't normally available unless it's the native resolution of the screen, and i'm guessing that's why the addon didn't come with settings for it.
Thanks for taking the time to make this, you did an excelent job!! I love it.
I have a quick question, i am mostly Resto on my Shaman, but i was trying out Enhancement, and as i was PvPing i noticed that everytime i use stormstrike or anything in general, i lag for a second and it gets really annoying cause my fps would jump from 50-75fps to 20fps in a split second( screen jumping form here and there) and i was wondering if this is normal with this UI or what?
Originally posted by Cearalulz Hey, as you might see I have messed around lilbit with your UI sorry But I still love the work you have done with it. Ehm to the question, as you see on the picture the tracking minimap icon is still there and I cant move it. Maybe I´m too tired that I missed something but it doesnt work to move it with that "moveeverything" addon, I would appreciate if you could help with that
Oh I tried to move stuff around like you just did, got the whole map area to move over, including that. So I'll tell you what I did that made it move. I copied the map style addon out of the addon's folder, and put it on the desktop. Then I came back to WoWInterface.com and searched under map addons, and I found one that has it set on that side of the screen, so I put it in the addons folder, logged in, and opened up that addons settings, configured what I thought looked good. Then I logged out, dragged that other map addons folder from the desktop back into the Addons folder, and then logged in, and fiddled with it again. Till I got everything in the right spot. Then I logged off game, and deleted the other map addon that didn't come with the UI, and then I logged in game, and typed /rl and it reloaded everything up. It kept that part where I wanted it. All done.
so i just made 3 4 5 6 the full 12 slots, no need to move them and it's nice, just think it would be cool if the UI had an option to do that and make the panels change size to match the change (working on extending all of them right now).
