I would love to know how you do your buffs in this pic. You using Satrinas Buff mod?

[Lissandria]

Working on this right now...so far it's just dominos and pitbull that I have had the time to play around with.

Looking for suggestions of what I can do to better place the stance bar. I'm not 100% fond of the current location. Ideas?

Here's a newer pic

Yes i used SBF and anchor KGPanels to them, if your going to try this there is a few things ive found out that you shouldnt do :P
Don't use a % for the Width or Height and open the SBF config while you parent them as it shows all the buffs, atm ive anchored 10 bars ill do more when i can be bothered, the problem with SBF is that some of the icons in config mode are oddly shaped and so may be larger then they would be in normal game play, such as some debuffs, just try and get the frames almost exactly the same width and height, etc although some will be different.

Here is my UI. Still working on it a bit, but the work actually never stops.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a whirl tonight.
The UI looks awesome btw. Nice work.

Thanks m8 although ive changed it again :P i went back to the old slightly altered Kwi unit frames look and im pretty happy with how its turned out, its a lot easier for pvp as well, ill post a new screenshot when its a bit more finished. (i still use the same SBF look though )

I like the Kwi remake more honestly. Very slick.
I have to say though making those buff borders with KGpanels and SBF is a serious pain in the ass. SBF makes it hard with it's flaky buff icons.
I got it on 2 and gave up so I have to commend you on your patience alone.
Just out of curiosity, is that a custom border or did you get it from a specific compilation? I can't find a really thin (1px or however thin that one is) border like that.

[Blinky12]

lol this may seem odd, but i dont use a border xD i used kgpanels for everything, seriously i parented a panel using just a 1 px Solid black border for each buff, at first i tried to use a solid bg but that caused problems and so i spent a lot of time making perfect borders, with no fuzzy edges but if you really want a border that is 1 px i suggest http://www.wowinterface.com/download...PixelSkin.html

i started off using it but got frustrated :P

its annoying that i still need to use the memory using Button Facade for the Dream Layout skin, there is probably a better way of removing the ugly blizz borders so i will look for some ractionbutton styler skin when i can be bothered :P

Try using !SimpleSquare from Neal's UI to put the border on things. All you need to do in your addon is put a call like this in with the dimensions you want the boarder to be:

CreateSimpleSquareBorder(Minimap, 12, 0, 0, 0, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4)

There is documentation in the !SimpleSquare folder on what each argument is for.

I'd rather try to use this over setting up kgPannels. (This is how i got my textures in my compilation on my minimap, Filger Icons and bars, and a few other items.

[Blinky12]

Thanks a lot ill try that out

[xConStruct]

My very minimalistic UI:



Unit frames will be shown in combat or on target, Minimap is toggled per shortcut and the info-bar is animated and will slide in when clicked.
The chat consists of two Chicchai-minimized chatframes (one with automaxiziming for important channels, one for unimportant ones).

Action bars are hidden every time, cooldowns via oCD.

P.S: It's still too big (EDIT: I mean my interface :P)

Cargor, Just link it don't embed it.

This is what I'm currently working on. Still need to tweak a lot of things. Like DBM colors and position of some things, for instance. Some feedback would be nice!





It's done with oUF, Filger, MSBT, DBM, Dominos, rFrameRotater around the map.

The color is quite bright imo.

I actually rather like the bright colors. New and different is a refreshing change!

Nice and clean although there are a few things you could change.

- Tiptac doesn't really suit the rest of the UI, you should change its border to a 1 px black one and change the background to solid, semi see-through and black.
- The pixel font next to the time on the minimap is like 1 size too large :P.
-The ToT and bottom raid party row have some pixel problems, this is probably easy to fix by modifying the LUA a bit to change their position by a pixel or two. Ofc you may not care about the borders, i just like things completely neat :P

Maybe, though that would include all tooltips there are.

Thats an issue with cargoShip which I use for broker plug-ins

I do care about pixel borders, though widescreen + 1x multisampler = a ***** to find the perfect ui scale. sticking with 0.641 for now, since most borders are "ok" with it

Thanks. The whole UI is made with 2 colors that can be easily changed and everything matches. I used grey and a bright yellow in those screens. I normally have it dark blue and light blue for the borders, texts, etc.
