I followed the install instructions exactly, but it didn't change anything in game. Transfered all of the folders correctly, renamed, but when I went in game and typed that one line nothing happened.. any ideas?

A few things to try:
  1. When you were renaming the WTFs, did you use your Account name or your Battle.net name?

  2. Sometimes WoW will be "installed" in one place, but actually be running from another install. Usually, the working version is in your Users/Public/Games/World Of Warcraft (if you are on a Windows computer :P)

  3. Did you capitalize the /reflux switch ZivUI? It's case sensitive.

Lemme know if any of those fix it!

Hurray, you uploaded it!

What pixel font are you using, by the way? I can't seem to find the same one.

You know, that is a very good question! (LOL) In fujiUI, all of the in-game font options use what is called 'Pixel_41' or 'Pixel_42'. However, I can't for the life of me FIND Pixel_41/42 outside of WoW :P This is why I have some trouble with Fane/Lynstats, because I have been trying to either find those fonts, or find one similar. If I find it, I'll let you know (and vice versa, please! :P)

if you looking in sharedmedia it tells you the original fonts names.

pixel 41 = HOOG0557
SharedMedia:Register("font", "Pixel_41", [[Interface\Addons\SharedMedia\fonts\HOOG0557.ttf]])
pixel 42 = HOOG0558
SharedMedia:Register("font", "Pixel_42", [[Interface\Addons\SharedMedia\fonts\HOOG0558.ttf]])

Ohhh... awesome Thanks for the tip, Nin! ALSO, remember how you suggested that I use text instead of icons for the minimap? Well, how is this:


EDIT: I fixed LynStats too, fyi

I just sent in an update to Ziv UI, it's pending right now A few things to note:

-I changed the chat font (I personally like it better). If you wanna change it back, go into Interface\AddOns\!Chat\!chat.lua and change
Code:
_G["ChatFrame"..i]:SetFont("Interface\\Addons\\SharedMedia\\fonts\\SUPERNAT2.TTF", 10, "MONOCHROMEOUTLINE")
to this
Code:
_G["ChatFrame"..i]:SetFont("FONTS/ARIALN.TTF", 14, "OUTLINE")
-Right click anywhere on the minimap for tracking

-If you don't like chat tabs, then turn off Fane and check the "Lock Chat Settings" option in the Blizzard Social pane.

Lemme know if anything needs fixin'!

The "Supernatural" font is indeed quite nice, but I prefer all-caps pixel fonts, because it makes things more consistent and easier to read.

Nice work with the minimap, by the way. :P

Yeah, for some reason, all-caps fonts hurt my eyes :P I like 'em, too, though

I personally love using pixel fonts for the chat box, but I can never find a fitting one. That one seems to be pretty decent.

My account and battle.net name are the same, I believe (what's the difference?). I have Windows 7, so where you said is indeed where it is saved and where I put the files. I copied the command straight from the UI page, so yes, it was capitalized.

Yes there may be a difference. When we all set up the new BattleNet accounts and tied our WoW games to it you probably used another identity for it. Either an existing BattleNet account or created a fresh new one. In my case my BattleNet account is very different from my WoW account. The WTF folder account names need to be your wow specific ones and not the one you now log in with, unless of course they are identical

My original WoW email and battle.net are the same, therefore my account name = my battle.net email, correct?

nope, the wow account is not your wow email. Your old wow login information is your wow account.

If you log into your manage account page on the WoW website or log into your battle net account and go to your account home you should see an image link of your WoW accounts linked to it .. hover over it and it will give you your wow account name.

Here's the page with highlights of what information to look for.
