Screen Shots of your UI... - Page 89

This is the most recent screenshot I've got available of my interface, though I have some tweaks planned and some tweaks done since that was taken, namely the atlas icon isn't randomly hanging out by the minimap but is instead in a kgpanel of its own above questclicks there by the chat window.

*grumble* stupid Picasa *grumble*

May I suggest (if you haven't already)...

- changing some of your bar textures so that they match across all addons
- changing the location of the raid target icon on your tooltip (it's currently mostly off-screen)
- changing the word "level" to "lvl" on that tab above your chat frame, so that the text fits inside the box
- hiding your micro menu until mouseover

As weird as it is, most of my bars use the same texture, or at least, I've tried to do so. I see what you mean in that screenshot though, so am definitely going to double-check the settings.

And can't change the text of "level", that is actually my tracking menu and shows my normal "find ore/find herbs" fine. Been working on loremaster lately and not farming as much. Interesting that you mention those tabs though, general/log are kgpanels scripted to be clickable, the chat icon is actually WIM (thanks to Fortress), and of course, we have SLDT providing the gold/tracking information.

I honestly never even noticed that my tooltip had the raid target icons, hrm... gotta find that setting.

Hate mouseover effects, but having key combos to bring it up would definitely look better.

Thanks for the crit

Got rid of the black panels and switched to something a little more elegant and simple. C&C as always, is welcome!

The art is nice, I like it, but that "thin box" ... It let's me freak out.

As a side note, It's funny how often I see overlapping bars, lately.

Haha, yeah, it's the latest "trend" in interfaces. I saw it for the first time on the official UI forums (EU), but I believe pHishr did something similar before too.

LoL! I couldn't help myself. I have tried and copied Seerah's style at one point on how she does her health and mana but I just couldn't get used to the layout. It's just one of those things about my UI that I tend to get really picky about and I can't help but constantly mess with it now!

Zagrei · 01-22-10, 04:52 PM

The box to the left of the bars is Skada DPS, and the one on the right is Skada Threat. The box on the far right is Cellular, for whispers. I use Carbonite for map/questhelper thingy. This is my first submission to WoWInterface, so C&C would be greatly appreciated

Now I give you... ZagUI!

I think the first one was an oUF layout which put the power behind the health bar. I personally did it a little different with oUF_viv 1-3, I put the ToT behind target and the pet behind player. It can look neat, but you can easily overuse it, too.

I do post on EU though

I don't think I was the first though. Like Dawn said, it was probably an oUF layout, but I personally got the idea from someone who had put their tot inside the target frame(I think it was Waverian or Dawn, not sure...) and then my creativity just went along.

But yeah, I don't want to take full credit for expanding the idea, but once the idea is out there it spreads like FIRE

Landrell, I have searched everywhere I could think of trying to find a vignette-esque texture like the one you use and can't find anything that's half as good as that. PLAES HALP.

(personal use only, of course...not for REMIX)

Oh, and I decided today that REMIX is going in a new direction. Yep...I'm jumping headfirst into the "Minimalist-UI-with-oUF" bandwagon.

Frames are modified oUF_Classic:

I think I've outdone myself this time!

Lawlz! Hello Kitty!? That's awesome in a sort of freaky and weird yet cool sort of way.

If you're referring to the borders to my latest screenshot, I had to hunt down some vector art and just embellished them a little further to fit what I was looking for. The stencils can be found here and here. They're the artist and as far as I know, there are no contingents in using these stencils that they have created. Just giving fair credit where credit is due.

Yeah, it started out as a joke because someone posted "you should make this in pink" in the oUF_Classic comments. Then haste told me it "needs more hello kitty", so...

And really once you get past all the pink it's not a bad arrangement. I ran a quick 5-man just as a moment of hilarity and it worked ok.

And I should've been more specific. I mean the shadowy part that is the screen equivalent of an "old paper" type of thing. Ugh...I'm doing a really crappy job of description here. What I basically mean is the part of your overlay that isn't lines and squigglies and stuffs.

Pink Deathknight Kitty UI, FTW!

I like it! Needs more pink though :P

Edit:

I've made a lot of pink UI's myself, although they all suck I thought it would be nice to show them

So here goes nothing!

Now you may laugh. For the pink!

Landrell · 01-23-10, 05:02 AM

It burns ussss!!! *scratches at eyes*

Seriously though, I'm really liking the last three in the list there as far as the pink UI's go. The setups are clean and well put together! Why am I all of a sudden wanting to do the most annoying color I can think of now as a UI?

Any idea where I can grab one of these? I don't have access to photoshop.

I second this (planning to make a little addon that does this, and only this)

Ferous · 01-23-10, 07:06 AM

I have one, I'll update Ferous Media with one.

Hold on!

Edit - I updated Ferous Media with an Overlay texture.

The white is actually transparent so don't let it fool you!

Woot! Thank you.
