Currently testing new backdrop textures. I want to make a mini ui that only uses borders created via SetBackdrop().
Instead of a backdrop I'm going to use them as a border on an overlay-layer.
First I started using a backdrop with 16px height with a border of 3px-width but that turned out to big so I simply shrinked it to 8px and it turned out pretty nicely. You can do square or round corners...whatever comes to your mind.
The texture used for the bottom bar looks like this
Alpha layer
If anyone is interested in code...http://code.google.com/p/rothui/sour.../wow5.0/ZorkUI
Oh...the statusbar texture is from NeavUI. I love that texture.

I can't post images yet, but I've been working on this ui. I don't know if any of you will like it but I'm quite satisfied with it.

That's a good layout for the unit frames and action bars; you've managed to centralize all your cooldowns, your rage, and your and your target's health, including a percentage display. Helpful for not missing things.
The things about that that I would change first are the opaque chat background, because having it like 30-50% transparent would keep the text readable while letting that area of your screen be unblocked; and the font of the health percent text, because it makes sense from a visual design perspective to use the same font for all the information text there and it kind of clashes with the other ones you use.
Normally the layout of a person's UI is the primary thing I disapprove of, though, so good job!
Kayte, mind posting a beta version?
A small update, this is mainly for healers due to the location of vuhdo. Hopefully picture is ok this time.
The base UI is Elvui, the healing bars are Vuhdo, the raid CD's is BigWigs, the icons are TellMeWhen (unlocked so you can see them), the dps/healing meters are Skada (ignore my dps, went afk). The resto druid icons are not in screenshot but they're the same as my previous screenshot. In 25m the raid frames are moved onto the far left, 1 collumn - however can make these also show in 2 rows under castbar like in 10m but bars are half the size they are in 10m.
Any questions or ideas for improvement, please let me know as I will be releasing this very soon.

Very clean but if your going to have your debuffs where they are at, atleast filter out anything over a minute. I'd hate to have sated/mass ress just to the top left of my char.
I very much like it, love how you got the unit frames. I wouldn't mind doing something similar, but I'm a sucker for default UI.

both share the same concept but they're built differently.

Unitframs: I totally agree with the removal of both, and only keeping mana bar shown. I've been running mouseover macros ever since I started raiding as mistweaver.
The only time I actually target something is the boss, for doing damage- and yet most of the time, it's done through tab target.
You dont need to see your HP, since you have that on raidframes.
I would love a proper set of boss frames, just for the looks. It would make the UI seem more "complete", but thats just my opinion.
Nameplates: Again, so true. 20man changes alot of things. And most guilds/raid teams setup a marker on someone important to watch.
Raid CDs: True, but it could be done with weakauras, and Icon+number(if you have more than one of some CDs). Just to show which is ready.
Come 20man you'll have plenty of CDs, so no need for specific time left before its ready again.. Sort of like what you've done with your own CDs- just without timer.
Combattext: Really? - I know it looks awesome, but.. hm .. I'm using some sort of combattext too, came with package. But I have hidden some of the heals shown, like renewing mist.
One more thing, the little blue totem kinda hiding behind the DBM timers, I would move it to the other side.
oh, one more thing why DBM instead of Bigwigs?

anyone care to comment on details of obtaining or making this>
Content drought is a combination of catchup mechanics and no new content.
Trying out these transparent icons I saw.
Not sure how much I like them yet.
I'm finding that certain aspects of ElvUI have backdrops behind certain elements (Actionbars, Buffs) that I can't seem to configure and it makes those darker than my WA. Not sure if I'll keep these much longer.
(I can but only rgb and not a)

No links but you get it
Raid layout (Disregard the 4th grp in the raidframes, the intentional use is for 10-15man grps)
