Hi guys,
I should say upfront that I've never tried making my own UI before, so with that said I'm probably trying to bite off more than I can chew. But I'm willing to learn and spend the time playing around with stuff to try and get it right.
I'm totally in love with the LaveUI. The only problem is that its not made for my screen resolution. I've tried installing the UI package and mucking around with it but its using addons I've never used b4, plus what seems a whole bunch that I don't actually want to use. And I can't seem to move/manipulate some panels for some reason.
So I've done a lil research and hopefully found the addons that will help me replicate the UI as much as possible. I figured its better that way so I'm learning from the ground up.
The possible list is
Bartender3
eepanels2
Bongos (although not sure if I need this or not)
Fubar (and assorted plugins)
Ace2
CyCircled
Pitbull and
Chinchilla (map addon that lets me move, resize, reshape the minimap)
What I'm trying to replicate is this

Now I'm ok with the minimap part, the bartender part of it I think I can get undercontrol (although not sure tbh) but how on earth do I replicate the areas in green with eepanels? How do I get those shapes and borders? The top green area is the chat area....not worried about that atm. But the 2 bottom outlined areas? And the blue bordered area is I think another panel?
Any help here guys would be immensely appreciated. Even just to get me started with other websites or other faq's/ppl to contact.
I'm not trying to copy or plagerize (sp?) Lave's work to publish. I'm immensely respectful of it. But installing her UI package just doesn't work for me and my resolution. I'd like to try and come as close to her UI without the hundred other addons if possible.
Any help or ideas please folks?
