    What sort of style are you looking for.
    Plus are you looking for a more standard font for the UI, different from the more cosmetic one on the unitframe.
    Plus are you in europe, as cyrillic support could matter more.

    it looks nice! i think the action bars could use some better art though.

    side note, I wish you would port your 1.12 ui to work with retail wow

    Like Amemiya said, it's Opie. Probably the second thing I install after Weakauras whenever I start fresh.

    If you are, isn't it troublesome for you to put the raid frame so low on your screen compared to your character ?

    And raid frames for a healer is IMO absolutely one of those times.
    If putting them at the side lets you do your job better, then to hell with how it looks.
    Yep, I main a MW. It's not too low for me, I haven't found that I haven't been able to both heal and get outta fire yet. Although I use a lot of visual queues, I play with game sounds on and that helps me to dance just fine.

    In 5m content they're moved up a bit, but not by too much. I've tried putting my frames to either the left or right in the past, but always find myself centering them again. Just more comfortable for my play style, I've Pavlov'd my peripheral vision so that this format works best for me. When I DPS or Tank they pop up to the left hand screen, turn vertical groups, and become more contrasted to keep them outta the way but still able to glean info from without really looking at them.

    It's very much a work in progress, but here's what I've got at the moment. I mainly run 5m content;

    They are right there are at the very least 3 different fonts, if not more.
    Hardly "trolling".

    The font for the button bindings on your action bar as far as I can see doesn't match anything else.
    The nameplate has a Serif font which I can't see anywhere else.
    The combat text to me looks to be a different one from the unitframes, and maybe the damage meter as well.

    Replying and perhaps commenting that the font's aren't a priority for now, or something else more appropriate.
    Instead of calling them a troll which simply makes it look like you can't handle criticism.
    Which makes a discussion forum the wrong place to be posting.
    Make an argument why you disagree.
    Don't attack them personally simply because they do.

    Sick of disagreements resulting in "trolling", "fanboy" and similar attacks.

    A work in progress fair enough will have inconsistencies such as varying fonts.
    You just give the impression that it is something polished and finished.

    As stated, unify your fonts. Also the statusbar textures. I see like .. 3? different ones.
    Also the font shadow on the unit frames seems a bit too much.

    Since most ElvUI layouts look the same for me .. I am just noting what you could improve.
    oh, honey.

    as much as i like using a display font like that blackletter for stuff like names, it proves really hard to balance around. so i switched back to something less wild

    Definitely different:
    Skada is using it's own font.
    Unit frames are using their own font.
    Action bars have their own font.
    Nameplates look like they have their own font.

    Might not be different but can't tell:
    Friendly names look like they have their own font (probably default).
    Buffs might have their own font but I can't tell because you're using monochrome outline and it's distorting the text.
    Damage font looks like it may be different but if it's default then it may be the same as some other default client fonts.

    So no he's not "trolling". I personally have my damage font different than the rest of my UI but the rest of it pretty much stays unified. The font I use for my damage wouldn't work for the rest of the UI is all. Just take the font you like most and apply it to everything in ElvUI and all of your visible addons that can have the fonts changed. You can also place that font in a Fonts folder for WoW and change the names to replace the the default WoW fonts if you want.

    Looks really good! Is it available publicly? Would love to use it.

    Your Skada is in Accidental Presidency.
    Your quest log is Expressway.
    Your Target Nameplate is in that serif default WoW font.
    Your keybinds on the bars is in Homespun.
    Your Unitframes are in another font with an unnecessarily thick outline.
    Your monochrome outline makes the buffs font look like an entirely different one.

    It's not a troll, it's an observation to help you improve your UI, which is what this thread is for.

    what is that font you use? (for name/tooltip) beauty as always.

  18. #23318
    Alte Haas Grotesk and a bootleg version of Bloomberg's headline font, which is probably Avenir 85 Heavy

    Thanks man! The version that's on show here isn't available for download.. Yet..

    I have the older version on WoW Interface which is good to go though (quick search for Imerzion should get you there), I'll be putting this one out there when I'm happy with it.
