Post Your UI

[shanthi]

I'd suggest making all actionbars/buffs the same skin. Including the DP in the middle.
Also not sure if overlapping the health and name of your target frame is intentional?

Other than that looking good!


Just started working on a social media themed UI. First obstacle: round flat portraits or square 3D portraits?

Round:


3D:

I'd say the round-flat looks more profile-ish. The overall effect of that unit frames (with your font choice and how you're representing life and power) is to look somewhat "retro-futurish"...kind of, an old conception of what something futuristic might look like.

Oh wow I can totally see that now. Not at all social media-ish. Gonna try to rework it, thanks!

I only do CMs on this character, so I tried to create (and by create, I mean steal) a UI that focused on healing 5 man content efficiently. Not a fan of the font.

Round:

That is very interesting. I like the idea so far.

another good site for fonts generally is typewolf.com/open-source-web-fonts

There's a new app to help with putting together complementary fonts (and, I imagine, discovering new ones in the process). I haven't tried it yet, but it looks interesting.

~ reinstalled today and made a new ui in a couple of hours w/ ouf & some of my old scripts, playing around with an off-centre layout

Update.
Sorry, tell me if it's annoying that I ask too much for your opinions and I'll stop.


I think I'm on the right path here.

or
Which way of tracking health should I pick?


@modernist
Do you think it's possible to make animations like that with Stuf somehow?
Also, what kind of sorcery is that minimap?

[shanthi]

The one on the right, IMO. It looks more like the badge system that's semi-popular right now. Most notably with iOS apps, but I've seen it used on websites, too.

birgwow,

i'd go with the 2nd layout. the first doesn't offer much for readability.

Identifont also has a similar fonts tool, based on certain characteristics of a font.

I second the view on the health tracking, as I find the face behind something else trend to be wasted most of the time, and in that case legibility suffers.
Common already with the "shifty eyes" in a health bar format.

[Birgwow]

Right side it is!


Target frame (most likely) finished!

[Arborus]

With WeakAuras triggering on PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED, quite easily.

Also, the right hand one, for sure.

[modernist]

yeah, or if STUF allows the use of custom script for particular elements then you can just use the default animation script:

local ag = STUFNameFrame:CreateAnimationGroup()    

local a1 = ag:CreateAnimation'Translation'
a1:SetOffset(x, y)    
a1:SetDuration(.3)
a1:SetSmoothing'OUT'
a1:SetScript('OnFinished', function() ag:Pause())

local f = CreateFrame'Frame'
f:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED'
f:SetScript('OnEvent', function() ag:Play())

the minimap is just using a mask texture similar to those used by other rectangular maps, i just flipped it vertically and shaved some space extra off.

added 'list' style aura tracking to my ouf layout, few kinks to iron out functionally but it looks quite nice:

Can you stop being so innovated and bringing fresh ideas all the time? I am just jelly. I don't know how you find the inspiration.

[Couches]

This looks exactly like a more pollished version of the UI I just created for myself! Great minds think alike :P

I'll be stealing some elements >

[Birgwow]

It may seem like it in a WoW setting but this is hardly anything creative on my part. I just look at the social media apps we all have in our phones and thought it'd look nice as a complete UI basically copying the core design from some apps and making it work in WoW.

Couches please do share your version!

Down right one!
