Maybe making it less obvious and removing the chat "framing" altogether might be better (mainly just center graphic at that point)

The chat frames were actually much bigger before but I reduced them because they looked almost too big.

Personally I would also make the center art, assume you want to put minimap there, a standalone minimap art.
I like bigger chatframes, so a center minimap takes up my valuable screen width.

My wife is a clicker and this UI is for her, she wanted a spot in the middle where she could lump some of her spells together, I will probably modify it a bit for my Pally but I am also not a fan of a centered minimap

Would be interesting to see someone make unitframes to match the look.
I actually decided to work a bit on this too although we will see, i included what i have so far for the target

AND THANKS GUYS FOR ALL THE GREAT HELP AND ADVICE!
