Post Your UI

[Everlu]

I really like the look of your UI here. Might try my hand at a crude replica sometime soon.

Also pixel fonts are great; they make everything look 10x neater. Don't feel pressured into giving up on them!

Well, there are two reasons I switched after something like six years of pixel fonts on unit frames:

1) My eyesight is deteriorating and I need a lot of help from my glasses with computer screens
2) San Francisco is just a fantastic typeface! It renders surprisingly well in WoW, considering it was developed for tiny wearable touch screens. It's so easy to read.

Agree looks nicely clean and yeah no barely legible pixel fonts in there. Imho pixels are bad to read and just look like people have a fetish for 80th arcade consoles. Similarly serif fonts don't suit a clean interface either nor are they well legible when screen resolution and font size aren't considered carefully.

I can see why you might think that, though I find it depends fully on the actual pixel font that is being used. The one I use for my own UI is super easy to read

The eyesight issue is definitely as good a reason as any to switch to a font that is easier to read :P
I've considered changing to a regular font too, but I just like how well the pixel fonts match a nice sleek UI!

Semplice, right? I love that font, man. I used it for years, because it's just so nice. I really love the other ones by the same designer. My current UI was initially designed with Gros in mind before astigmatism won out.

Pixil, are you at all interested in Sharing that beautiful UI/
I absolutely need it.

I don't like the way the normal Semplice font renders in WoW. It's much wider than it's intended width. I modified my WoW Semplice font to remove the additional spacing included with the letters and it now (almost perfectly) renders as it would in say Photoshop.

Thanks, I will try it out tonight!

Minor update.

Should I make all elements of the UI (except target) class colour (left) or does it look better to have a spec colour as well (right)?

The frames to the left of the player frame are soul shard and burning ember trackers.


Also not sure about the positions of the unit frames. Critique appreciated!

IMHO it looks better to have matching colors; I think the left looks much better. The target frame should probably be moved a little to the left, too, so that it's a little less intrusive. Just my $0.02 though.

That being said, I think it looks pretty amazing so far. Another great job by Birg!

Sorry bud, not planning to upload it. ElvUI can mostly be configured to look that my UI, with help from weak auras and such, so you could have a go yourself Who knows, you might come up with something even better!

Interesting edit. Looks decent but I wouldn't say I prefer either more than the other; both are fine! :P

I would be very interested in a raid shot (:

Just browsed through my screenshots to find something suitable. I hope that this will suffice:

Tried to stay a bit closer to the original style while getting rid of all the useless combat spam and massive numbers that just clutter the screen usually.

You have my sympathy.
A fellow suffer of Astigmatism, amongst other issues.
For that reason I tend to appreciate the simpler UI's more, those with less focus on the art but instead on presentation of the information.

what are those unit frames?

Alright! Kind of agree with you, though I was thinking of putting the target frame even closer to the center. I'll have to see what it feels like playing with it further out. It probably looks better that way Thanks!

sorry to bug, but what info panel is that on the bottom? or is that still part of ElvUI?

The buff trackers are just a bunch of weak auras I made, and the durability/latency/time is just ElvUI datatexts.
