Ask it! UI/Mods Edition

[normallyinsane]

There are many, too many to list, but here are a few very different designs to give you some ideas of the kinds of UI out there:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...1920x1080.html
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nnsAionUI.html
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...lysm2.0UI.html
To get a list of them all search for your resolution in addon descriptions in advanced search.

Thanks a ton.

I'm trying to move my oUF GCD bar, but I can't for the life of me find the bit of code that dictates the positioning on the screen. Any help would be much appreciated.

local _, ns = ...
local oUF = ns.oUF or oUF

local referenceSpells = {
    45902,            -- Death Knight
    1978,            -- Hunter

Anyone know of a good addon that shows who's attacking your target?

I do a lot of RBGs and we're not doing as well as I think we should be, probably because the people we get all seem to have difficulty understanding hard swtiching. I know BGtargets shows the number of people targeting, but not specific names. It also shows people who target them from anywhere, like if the tank is in our flag room but watching the enemy tanks HP. I want to be able to call people out by name who aren't on the target. I tried Xperl, they had some sort of raid assist thing, but I don't like it. I just want a simple box that I can put in a corner of my screen, a stand alone assist addon or whatever.

I don't think the positioning code is in that bit...

[Deleted]

That's all of the code there is

[Sedivy]

oUF GCD is a plugin for oUF and usually used in conjunction with specific oUF layouts. oUF layout specific files is where I'd look first.

Are there any mods that allow you to reskin recount and/or Omen?

Thank you.

I'm currently redoing my unit frames with PitBull, but it blocks the function for sending the pet away. Is there any way around this? I tried Stuf before PitBull but it was the same.
(Apart from sending it away by casting the spell)

[Sedivy]

Check the latest alphas. A lot of fixes were done lately on Pitbull though some of them have to do with MoP.

Hi,

i am using a self-build UI with addons like Bartender, Skinner, Bazooka, Bagnon, SUF, Quartz etc.
There are two problems:
My Grid works fine, configuration of indicators etc. But my Grid doesn`t save settings of background colour and the colour of the frame of the skada window.
I make my settings, confirm everything with ok, log out, log in and the changes aren`t no more active.

plz help

edit: all addons are up to date by curse client
edit2: profile resetting doesn`t help

[tordenflesk]

That's probably Skinner. Disable it's skinning of Grid and Skada.

[Kigama]

yes thx. skinner was the bad guy causing the problems^^

You might be using a wrong version. If you downloaded a MoP version and are trying to use it on live, that might be the reason you're seeing errors.
As for individual addons, ElvUI and TukUI aren't compilations made up of various addons. Every mini addon within them is specifically coded only for that UI so they can't be extracted as separate addons. You can find on wowinterface similar looking UIs that are compilations and use that instead if that's what you want.

That's one of the ElvUI configurations. You can make similar layouts using popular unitframes like pitbull and STUF but it needs quite a bit of tinkering. There is no premade layout that's exactly the same. The closest would be getting oUF and one of somewhat similar looking layouts:
