What do you mean by missing something? For people just getting into custom UI's the best advice I can give is... making all UI elements match. Basically you want a theme for your UI. All colors, borders, fonts, etc .. should generally be the same on each frame to achieve some sort of symmetry. I wouldn't say your UI isn't symmetrical, but I don't see a theme that really makes it flow.

I hope this helps.

By missing something, I meant it didn't feel complete and I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head with your suggestion of theme. I've spent a lot of time figuring out where I want the addons/information to be but I've never really thought about fluidity and theme. I guess now, my next step of action would be to figure out an over all theme and look. Thank you.

OI!

If anyone has any cool ideas or suggestions for improvement on my current UI i'd be happy too hear em!

What im not completely happy with is cooldowntracking. (probably because im not used too actionbars though. :P)

I've been trying coolline,eventhorizon,different "bar" addons.. but i just don't get it too flow/fit the overall ui that well. -_-

Screenies are showing in combat and idle.

EDIT: Small vid , sorry for poor quality. testing coolline and dawns barfader/smoothing.

I really like the UI you've got there. But, where is your cooldowns shown?

And may I ask, what font are you using for your UI?

All I did was change a few fonts, borders, and backdrops in the lua.

I'm in love. Sounds stupid, but something like this might make me buy a new gamecard :P And on the cooldown management: You said you used coolline but it didnt match, isnt that costumizable enough?

And maybe combine that with something like cooldownpulse.

Good work. Bright and simple, important things catch the eye while not losing style. 8/10!

Doh, was really late when i posted, i just noticed i had nothing on cooldown in the pics.

I use my actionbars for cd's atm. they go fully visible when they are on cooldown and has slight alpha when ready.

The font on uf's are DIN 1451 Engshcrift , chat etc is tahoma.

Ledminator, I rarely have nameplates showing :P but they look like my uf's more or less.

Yep, i did. gonna try out the icons some more and see if it's just not being used too track cd's with icons.

You could take a peek at http://svn.wowinterface.com/listing.php?repname=hankui

But no finished releases yet what it looks like.

What i feel dont match is with the overall ui(i dont want a bar on top of the bottompanel), i can easily get it too fit the ui with textures etc.

Im playing around some now with having coolline replace the bottompanel in combat, it has to be a little bigger though than the panel so dno if i like it. i'll post a update on what it looks like when i got more time.

thanks for the inputs!
