First UI ever created, feedback needed :)

[Myridin]

So, I decided to make a UI of my own, after years of downloading pre-built packages, I know it's not as smooth as most that are posted here, but I'm hoping to improve through the feedback in this thread.


Edit 1: I noticed that the action bar panels were off, I've fixed that now, so no need to comment on that

Not a big fan of the time stamps, but it looks nice and simple. Would be interested in seeing a combat/party/raid screenshot.

I've definitely seen so many worse interfaces. The thing about yours that strikes me as bad is that nothing is consistent. Take a hard look at something like ElvUI or TukUI and compare it to yours to see what I mean. Try using the same or similar textures, borders, etc. and keep it to one font (maybe two at most).

Thanks for the reply, I've tried changing the font from the AldamageMeter, but in the lua coding, when I edited that, nothing happened. I'm very new to the scene, so would be eager to learn how to change stuff in lua, some settings that are true/false, are pretty obvious ofcourse, but the harder stuff still strikes me as impossible.

Regarding the consistency, I have no idea how I would go about and do that, I thought there was an addon called Skinner that did that, but I wasn't able to find it on this website. Perhaps something with SharedMedia, but I have no idea how that works.

If your using various different add-ons it's pretty simple with shared media. I've started getting really anal with the continuity around my UI's atm and there are some fantastic bar textures and fonts to be found with the likes of SharedMedia. Then it's just a matter of going into you individual add-ons and selecting the same one across all of them. Seems like a really small thing to think about but you'll notice a massive change once you've done it!

Yeah, that would be the case, it's just a matter of finding a decent SharedMedia tutorial and how I can create consistency throughout the entire UI.

Ah, yes, I will provide that, I currently have xCT set up the same way as Haaleth's FreeUI. As you can see, I don't have any nameplates yet, because I didn't find any that matched the style of the UI, and didn't like TidyPlates.

The Chat Tabs are a mess as well. Haven't decided what to do with NibChatTabs yet.
