I'll look into the micro menu addons and see what I can do As for the gloss and Lifestep bars (see below) I like it it's "me" and my likes for shiny.

And the gloss is waaaaaaay to high, it looks really bad. =(

But too be honest I don't think the layout is bad. It's just the choice of AddOns and skins that make me go 'Eww'.

Also is it allowed to post a new UI if I make any changes to the micro menu for example?

You mean another screenshot? Certainly.

A couple of suggestions that I can give at the moment is possibly to move the raid player names into their respective frames, and to either turn their targets off or to give their targets their own frames as well. Having all that text outside of the raid frames just seems (to me) to unnecessarily take up space.

You may also wish to try using matching texture and borders throughout the UI so that it gives everything a more fluid feel.

Possibly make the chatframe a bit more transparent and add a matching border. Looking at the UI, my eyes immediately go right to the chatframe (it's like a big black blob that draws too much attention) instead of other information I should be looking at during battle.

About the LiteStep texture... I've always loved that one! It reminds me of Jolly Rancher candy. =) At any rate, try to use matching borders and textures (you don't want any one thing standing out and taking your attention away from more important things during fights), but first and formost... use the borders and textures that you like the most.

thanks for the comments about the raid frames i would love to make the names appear inside the frame and to make the targets disappear but i havent taken anytime to learn lua (im using ouf perfrect if anyone wants to help me with that *winks*) for the chat frame i know its dark and all but i have horrible eyes from staring at computer screens all night and day. but yeah i could probably bring down the transparency on it.

I'm still learning and tinkering with LUA myself, but you could post in the UF authors comment thread (or in the oUF forums) and ask which file and on what line you would need to change the X and Y Offsets for the player names.

I'll share my Post-It-Note cheat-sheet with ya though! =)

X Offset: Horizontal
Increase for right
Decrease for left

Y Offset: Vertical
Increase for up
Decrease for down

Tinkering with the code in oUF is a great way to learn a bit of LUA, too. Using Tukui is also another fantastic way to get your feet wet with LUA.

Been working on this UI for a while and still needs tweaking a little...
Visable addons: Litestats/Panels, stUF, bartender4, button bin with LDB brokers, chinchilla, rectimers, mythreat, gnosis, sexycooldown, tinydps, chatter, bison, msbt, nibMicroMenu, button facade, vuhdo (mainly used for healer classes) and Fux. Inspired by many people here on Wow interface and also over at plusheal and Elitest jerks.
DPS version - In combat:

DPS version - Showing Unit Frames:

DPS version - Showing raid frames:

Healer version - (Raid frame location diffrent)

I prefer to have a seperate chat frame for guild/party and am looking into grabbing Chicchai to minimise the chatframe when its not active. I also need to move the talent text to somewhere less in the way (still trying to get it to shorten the spec name).
Comments/crit welcome.

Tuks UI is copying both Caith and Ishtara's DPS conceptual UIs from a while back. You must be new mankeluvsit :P Caith UI has been around since... FOREVER lol.

edit - Here is the original Caith UI Forums - Link - He started making Caith UI back in 2007, maybe even before that.

edit x 2 - Here is Ishtara's UI he has inspiration from, for his bottom panel area - Link, and the UFs are inspired by Caiths UI UFs.

I think, keyword being think, that CaithUI has been around in that form a lot longer than TukUI.

I think.

Let's see. A chatbox on both left and right side. Actionbars in the center with unit frames on top. Oh yes, Tukz copied Caith for sure!


/end sarcasm.

C'mon, this is silly.

Oh how I love v10.5, probably the best UI I've ever used.

I've had one since like February I think =) But I feel your pain, being crippled by the evil that is called 'Small Monitor'.

I agree with Petrah. ¬¬

But anyway, the new UI looks damn nice, Caith, except the chat needs to be on the bottom. You defy the basic principle of every MMO's interface. And for that you must be hunted. Oh, nice video, too. Lucky sod, you can play the game at max graphics... those shadows look so nice...
