Not a bad idea, though I think faded out just above the action bar as you have it works fine. I certainly struggle myself trying to find a good spot for the pet frame though. I typically go one of two directions:
* Unitframes to the sides (RealUI), with the pet bar under my character.
* Unitframes to the side (again, RealUI), with the pet bar under the player frame.
In both cases, my WeakAuras are then above the player frame, which keeps most all pertinent info right there either all on the left, or mostly on the left with just the pet frame below. I've found this works well because unlike a lot of layouts that place frames/weakauras below the character, I can better see the 'bad' I might be stepping in. The only downside is that my attention can end up heavily on the left, leaving me to stand in the bad anyway.
Oh, and expressway free is the One True WoW Font.
My UI isn't much. I've moved a few things from the basic ElvUI setup and have a few other addons that customize it a little. I'm looking to do more though, just not sure where to start. I loved SpartanUI back before it died out when the author stopped updating it pre-cata. I was thinking of trying to merge the two addons. From the looks of it there are a few extremely talented designers in this thread and was wondering if there was any pointers to be had in starting on this.

I don't have a raid shot as of now, but I can post one after my next raid. Generally though it looks exactly the same only adds in the raid frames above the left side chat box, Main tanks above that, and boss frames off to the right side below the pet bar.
Skin Omen and Recount and it would look way better.
I use something very similar to the one above, mostly default UI as well
Changed mine again! Haven't used portraits since.. lvl 80? So that's pretty fun, even if I can't figure out how to sort the border on Stuf while using the 3d animated portrait format, without one of the edges disappearing.
Crappy quality screenshot because I always forget to SS in-game. Got it off my stream.
I'm still alive ladies and gents, and still going to upload the Ui. RL is keeping me beyond busy atm. But I have not abandoned my peeps :P
As I said Ish, if you need a test guinea pig let me know.

Carebear, would you remember the name of that program to change the font?
I tried it with your custom Expressway, but didnt like it that much for my UI.
So I would like to play around with some other fonts. Been googling a bit but dont find a tool that would help me.
