Mail notification & SHIFT + click not working

lovswr · 11-30-09, 08:17 AM

Hello, I am a new player to WoW & just recently found this wonderful interface.

I have looked but I do not see where one is notified of new mail in the interface. Is there some setting that I just overlooked or is it hidden in some way?

Also, of more import to me, after installing the nUI interface, SHIFT + mouse click is not working in regards to separating items. That is to say, I can no longer grab just one item of a stack of 3 or 10 or 20. I can only get the whole stack. This is very frustrating when using my guild bank & the like.

Again, I am new not just to this interface, but WoW in general, so it may be some common knowledge thing. In either case, TIA.

The Mail notification will show at the top of the Minimap in the Bottom-Middle. It is very small and easy to oversee.

Some tips to your interface:
You really should change some things there. It is really to blink for me.
For Omen and Recount it gives another Addon named Skada, that is out of the box compatible with nUI.
There are many other things, but I don't play a hunter so I don't can say what you need. I only say it, because later in game, if you go into raid instances with 25 people, you need a really got look to what happen.

To better recognize some things, you should try TiTanPanel. There is a Mod, showing you if you get mail and many other things. Sorry I haven't any link yet. Maybe someone can give it to you.

Hopefully that nUI has won a new player who loves Scott's Addon.

I noticed you seem to have an addon that gives you your character panel at the top of the screen as well. Might I suggest something for you to do to minimise the addons you need.

1. Disable all addons except nUI.
2. Play around a bit in PVE and see what is missing.
3. Enable the addons that gave you that functionality and repeat step 2.
4. Play around a bit in PvP/Arena if you do that stuff and see what is missing.
5. Enable the addons that gave you that functionality etc.

Finally enable the raid required addons that are still needed and you should be ready to go.

Any addons in your addon screen that you have yet to enable are probably incorporated into the nUI addon and thus no longer needed. If, however there is functionality in said addon that isn't in nUI feel free to discuss it in the forums as sometimes functionality like that is added into nUI for completeness.

Welcome to the nUI family and I hope you have fun playing with it

Like Xrystal said you might want to try disabling everything that isnt nUI and taking a look at the addon with nothing else on it. Then consider what you want to see in your UI. Right now you have an extra unit frames showing the information you already have in the center of your screen. When it comes to the mail if you want you can get a FUBAR or Titan panel addon that alerts you to when you have mail. Personally I disable the nUI use of the minimap with /nui minimap then use an older addon called Simple Minimap to have my map in the corner where the default minimap is.

This is an older screenshot but this is my what I have my layout like:

Well I cleaned it up a little bit.

Pic 1 is nUI with addons that I'm satified with.

Pic 2 is the teeny, tiny mail icon.

Pic 3 is the World Map. As you can see at bottom there are coordinates, but two different addons are presenting. For the life of me I went through every thing I could find, but I don't know what is putting those there. I would like to disable one set, if possible.
