Means that the text to display would be larger than the FontString that is trying to display it, so it cuts off enough characters to make it fit again and replaces them with the three dots. However, since those stack counts only have 2 characters, they're completely replaced with the dots.
Solution would be to reduce the font size of the count in your SBF settings.

Hey all - Long time lurker first time poster, just wondering if anybody could give me some insight into the UI used in this video:

youtube.com/watch?v=1CRqK1w65wQ

I'm more specifically interested in the raid/heal frames, and the 'smooth' flowly health bars, rather than the usual ones that jump between the different values.
I know it's obviously not easy to just 'find' a UI as they're quite often custom made, but this one is absolutely awesome and so any insight would be greatly appreciated

Anyone happen to know what the mod is at the top of screen from the Karfagen fandrall kill that has the volume control option?

ElvUI @ WoWInterface

@Up:
No clue about that volume control, googled for it but no results.

You can show them on CLCRet though, under Aura Buttons. All you need to do is set them up like this:

You can move them under the Layout menu in CLCRet.

The timers would be added automatically by an addon like OmniCC.

For Inquisition, if you want a timer, set the "Type" dropdown to "Generic buff" and the "Target unit" to "player" - That will give an icon showing the remaining duration on Inquisition when it is up.

this was what I was looking for thanks a lot

Those look like Pitbull, I used to use those back in Wrath. One thing about Pitbull though is that theyre extremely customizable aka takes time to understand the options.

So I am going to be redoing my UI and have been looking around for ideas. I really like the bars that are above the nameplates in ElvUI that track procs. However I want to customize my own UI and not use ElvUI. Does anyone know of an addon that has similar functionality?

Lurking old posts just to see if I can help, and if this hasn't been answered then try Forte Xorcist you can tell Forte what to track and what NOT to track, just like ElvUIs bars above the UFs. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...texorcist.aspx

What the name of the addon that highlight skills on actionbar when there is a : Proc , 5 combo points skills (like highlight RIP when you have 5 CP) , interrupt and 3 HP ?

You could set that up pretty easily with a combination of PowerAuras and Power Auras Classic: Buttons. Set up a PowerAura that is set to activate when certain conditions are met, and configure it to light your macro or skills up when that condition is met.

Hello all

I've been wondering can the ElvUI layout(the greyish rectangles that become your bars and such), can it be applied to my current UI, without me having to fully use the ElvUI itself?

I remembered seeing a tutorial a while back showing a similar idea using kgPanels to create custom button-like frames along the top in a similar style.
Due to the consistency and varied functions then I would think they are doing the same.

A bit of searching and I found the video I had seen.



While similar could perhaps be achieved with a databroker display, I am not aware of any that allow a custom text label for the brokers.
Two of them with very different functions and both described as toggle would seem to indicate something like the above.

Without even looking at the video I can say that it's most likely a Lib Data Broker bar with a plugin. To get it first you need a bar, and then the plugin.

Onto my own question...it's actually about the default UI. I was doing archeology and in the main panel I noticed there is weird icon at the bottom next to the Vykrul icon. It looks like an Indiana Jones hat and a pick and some other stuff. What they heck is it for? It's still greyed out for me.

It is a generic or miscellaneous placeholder for the potential introduction of a future race into the profession.
Browsing the ArtBrowser on wowprogramming quickly found it, where it is even described as "Misc".
That also seemed to be indicated anyway by the image showing the tools associated with the profession more than any given race within the game.
