What happened and why did they change something that was so cool looking!?!

Because it was confusing, too small to accomodate the Runic Power, and clashed with the pet interface.

No idea, but it looked much better before the change

It messed with other interface elements.

Oh and BTW, you can get it back on the Curse site, and even colour-coded to the different Presences.

I think it's called phaye presence

I'm kind of wary about that one, most likely a very nasty coincidence, but I got hacked three days after downloading it, so I'd be careful

It also hasn't been updated since around september of last year, so it's also extremely out of date

I just saw the pics, never tried it myself, so that's that.

Or you could use one of the numerous runes ui mod out there (simple runes comes to mind first) or things like Shadowed Unit Frames, Pitbull, Xperl, that makes the default ui nearly usable instead of the piece of useless crap Blizzard have the nerves to call "an ui" ?

[Parhadox]

Most people use different unit frames, so it's not like a lot of people use the standard blizzard UI. I will say though, the first one looks nice.

[Charo]

All the interface code is still in there, it is just commented out, it is very easy to re-enable the second version of the unit frames...
