Post Your UI

Posting from mobile. Here's what I meant with round and blocky.

Ahhhh! Now I see what you meant! I guess, I'll be choosing between these two then..



These are variants without classpower bar on the player frame. I haven't touched other unit frames yet, but current version is "blocky", and I may stick with it in the future.

which im surprised anyone even uses anymore to be honest with the control you have over what debuffs you see on whatever raid frame addon you want to use..

it really just seems redundant. like omen.

Agreed. Raid frame addons like Vuhdo and Grid2 allow you to display dispellable debuffs in a manner similar to Decursive. I was surprised last tier even to know how many healing buddies use the addon when it's more efficient to have that functionality combined with your main raid frames.

Side: A guild I was considering applying to a while ago had Omen listed as one of their addons all raiders are required to have.

I don't understand why any healers would use it, as you said - this information is on their raidframes.
I can however see why dps classes that can dispel does, since they might have their raidframes of in a corner somewhere and basically never look at them. Decursive takes less space to smack closer to the centre of your screen.

That being said - I'm just speculating, never used it myself.

I like this one, just seems to flow better.

Chose this one for now and implemented it in game, my game designer friend insisted that bar order, e.g. mana/health/mana/health, meant nothing. But a user should be able to easily spot player and pet health bars without moving eyes too much, so health bars should be closer, I can't say that I 100% agree, but that sorta makes sense...

Love the Animations and Layout, but i would change the Position of the Combat-Indicator to be centered and near the usual frame and the font for the energy-deficit.

Blizz Questlog is fail i know, but due to the Resolution of my Screen i think i won't change it for now.
MT-Frame still needs much love.

The big orb with two tubes is my player frame

No, but what's the actual orb. Not the bars on it, just the orb without them. Just a decorative element?

[Yerding]

[QUOTE=Khorrax;33191481]Got bored and after looking through these forums I decided to fiddle around with my UI. Ended up with this but I am unsure how I really feel about it in practice, probably just weird adjusting from previous UI.


Khorrax,

I really like the layout of your UI. Anyway you could share an addon list, or any more information about the setup?

Much appreciated

I was trying to find a way of describing just that.
Sometimes there can be appeal in the rather narrow focus of Decursive, it displaying only what you need to know.
For some people getting that out of a more traditional raid frame addon may be a lot of work.
I think there is room for more tutorials on raid frames, showing specific examples and instructions on how that is achieved and why.

Well, aren't all textures are just decorative element? It's not a perfectpixel UI...

That's how player frame behaves in game


And that's why it's designed as an orb

Love the Animations and Layout, but i would change the Position of the Combat-Indicator to be centered and near the usual frame and the font for the energy-deficit.

It's a bit tricky, that's my special place for icons. I have role, rest, leader, combat and pvp indicators there. 4 in total, cuz combat icon replaces rest one, if needed.

Please can people comment/critique my new Guardian UI - I'm sure I'm missing something!

Hidden addons: MSBT, Hermes etc.

Also is there any way to get better quality screenshots? Is it a monitor/graphics card issue or the uploader? They look great in the screenshots folder.

CD bar ontop of Playerframe isnt aligned.
You have full health number on player but cut down to K on target.
Middle icons are a pixel off with the playerframe at the bottom.
Enable the ChatTabmodule in prat so the tabs fades out.
Targets target isn't aligned to targetframe on right side.
Bigwigs isn't outlined but the rest of your UI is.

Hard to spot more due to not in an actual boss fight. But hey atleast something

Also if you open your screenshot in paint then just save before uploading, it becomes better.

Snip.

1.I can't seem to get the width right on the Resolve bar above player frame to fit, it only works - to my knowledge - in increments of 1 and if I drop down it becomes too short. It's the best I can do I think. -- Literally just fixed this, didn't even know you could go to decimals on width/height!
2. Intentional
3. Intentional (The base of this UI is meant for my Paladin of which everything aligns perfectly but I don't want to create too many redundant profiles in SUF etc.)
4. Didn't know about this but been wondering if I could do it for years!
5. It actually isn't - just poor screenshot quality.
6. Didn't know this was possible as it only offers me a limited number of bar "styles".

Thanks for the tips though, I shall fix those I can (:

I have my screens in TGA for obvious reason. I normally upload screens to imgur from the clipboard. I open TGA screenshot in PS, CTRL+A or select needed region, CTRL+C and then CTRL+V at imgur upload page. There it's converted to PNG upon upload, that's lossless format.

[Sunnydee]

Alot to do still but the basic is there. Not sure wether or not to keep the BG for chat and skada etc. feels a bit to linear for me


Gotta love being ganked while tabbed out to change LUA..

[Sabien]

I didn't realise I was controversial.

I guess I'm a creature of habit. I have used Decursive since BC and it has just stuck. Yes it can probably be handled on with vuhdo raid frames but a small box off to the side to simply click on to dispell does the same job. In the end the person still gets dispelled.

I only use vuhdo for the obvious things like some clique healing, size of PW:S, size of DA, size of COW, Weaken soul debuff, Range, Mouse over macros and raid markers.

UI's are personal. There is no right or wrong way or we would all use exactly the same thing.

I base everything I keep in my UI on whether
A - Does this tool improve / affect my gameplay in SOME way?
B - Is it simple enough where I can use it effectively in a high stress "shit just hit the fan" environment without thinking about it? ie habit

And even if it's the most helpful tool in the world, it's shit if you can't effectively use it in a high stress moment. Perfect example is Boss mods, extremely helpful if configured properly, very spammy if you use every option available. A lot of addons will hit the "A" category, but "B" is the hard part. If it makes sense but you can't focus on an addon effectively, it's useless no matter it's apparent usefulness.

Here's mine. Any suggestions appreciated

*questions about my ui*

Hey Yerding, not too much to say as its fairly basic and fast thrown together. The energybar/chi tracker is made with weak auras along with the buffs/debuffs you see around the middle of the screen.

Addons used: Bartender 4, Bigwigs, Chatter, Exorsus Raid Tools, Kui_Nameplates, Masque_Caith, Quartz, QuseMap, Raven, Shadowed Unit Frames, TipTac and WeakAura 2.

[Arborus]

Anyone familiar with editing fonts? I'm trying to scale up a few so they don't look awful when rendered in WoW, but they keep coming out like this.

They appear fine in Windows' Font Preview and Photoshop, though.
