My New UI

Alright, I would like some opinions on my Xan UI Revamped UI...

Here are some pictures.

Image 1.
The Current UI I am using and possibly upload.


The Rest are based on the same UI, but with boxes showing where Elements of the UI could go.

A few things that imo need improving:

Your top and bottom viewport frames are different textures, try a bit more consistency next time. Also, why is all of that space needed for the small amount of FuBar plugins being used? Compress it into 1 line and you should still have some space left over.

CT_RA, Damage Meters and KTM on an alt this low of a level? Disable them till you really need them, this should also help to improve that horrid increasing rate you have which could improve your FPS.

The "Brick Wall" of actionbars looks ugly with the holes in the center, you have 7~ unused buttons which should be at the top / corner to clean it up. You could also hide your keybound skills to save more space.

The round minimap looks a little out of place, or even just its golden border could do with a plain black texture.

Is there another combat / chat log on the right side of the actionbars? if not you should shift the combat log that is next to your chat log to the right of the screen.

Anyway im just throwin some ideas at you that i think will clean your UI up a little.

Please upload that UI, I especially like the fourth alternative option.

Well done!

Personally as a plan so far its way too crowded. The final product may not be. I run at a fairly low rez of 1152, so I want as much screen as possible. I also like more screen real estate so I prefer small UIs. Just my opinion.

/agree

But also as Path may have said, it may not seem so crowded once you get everything on the screen.... You can't really tell what something's going to look like the way you're planning it out. You just need to get in the game and move things around, fiddle with alphas, colors, sizes, etc.

Lol... How about 40 Locks running Naxx DoTing every mob they face up against... Thats when it'd get crowded. My laptop is getting fixed due to some screen problems, so all i can do right now is show you guys a few basic images. But once I get everything back, some Screenies will come back.
