Post Your UI

[slothington]

I hate to make choices between a good looking graphical UI and a functional UI with lots of information. :S

So i figured what do I want to know when. When I select a target I want to know its name and current power/mana%, health% and the current value of the health. (And I can deduct the class from the colour of the name in an blink of an eye, so can do without a class-icon). After I have that info I really don't care. But if I attack it I want to all information and care not about the portrait.



Thanks for the feedback! I do agree with you, the hp/mp information is blocking the portrait, but the screenshot is a somewhat misleading. I have it set to show for 2.5 seconds on selection of a new target, then fade out. I'm in combat the information shows again or when mouseover the targetframe.

Yeah the ToT is on the right, but that is only a quick fix, was tanking last night and needed the ToT information.

I really should make a video when i'm completely done with the UI. Still fiddling with stuff for now.

That's what I figured. Need to edit my UI for 8.3, been some nice ideas up here lately

Shade great UI. the concept of having the target frame simple but informative in a "small" zone as there in the middle i like a lot. There have been plenty of others like for example the d3 type scheme orbs on the sides and target in the middle, but for some reason those have always felt like too busy on the screen or just something about it after a while just want something else. Yours though has the best i can describe a great feel to it.

Now I am sure everyone has their own ideas etc so ill just add 1 from me. Around the target frame maybe orbs or dots to show debuffs or combo points. I think locks put the most? dunno just a suggestion you do you boo boo

Damn Shade. It's looking better every time you post an update. Have you updated your profile on Wago yet?

Not yet will update wago on monday-night. And repack the MediaFire download.

Really like your UI Shade. How do you install it though? I downloaded the mediafire file and put them in the correct locations but I now seem to have some combination of the Blizzard UI and your UI. None of the Blizzard UI stuff is hidden and the HideBlizzard doesn't seem to do anything, no matter what I have ticked. All your UI stuff is really low down, I can see the target frame and a bit of the main bar but then the rest is hidden by the default Blizzard UI.

There is also some Gnome voice every load screen. Not sure if that's the UI or one of the other addons.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Managed to fix the problem of your UI stuff being in the wrong place. The UI scaler was ticked and was placing things way off. Still can't get HideBlizzard to work or found out how to disable the Gnome.

Currently using Shestak UI without any significant customization.

But here is 3 weakaura UIs and 1 elvui I've made (only HP/mana bars etc) Rest of the UI is hidden anyway and ofc it's a cropped image of full screen to show only weakauras.

I've made also few diablo orb UIs with lots of custom animations and effects by only using weakauras. Don't have pics unfortunately tho.
Would make real UI if I could write LUA etc :/

Really nice. Bold and yet minimalistic.

Don't know about the Gnome, did you open up your PC and check if there aint one inside?
If HideBlizzard isn't working for you Download Shadow Unit Frames it can do the same.

EDIT: Still need to update and filter out snippets before I can upload new versions. ETA soon.

EDIT: Also monday evening i will post and update, some mistakes were made and updated. :O

Thanks. Shadow Unit Frame worked great. The Gnome was bugsack giving me a couple of errors because of Auctionator.

Won't spend too much time customizing it if you are releasing a new version, but what is SL UI Minibar for? Can't for the life of me work it out.

I didn't know you could do some much with WA. Having it act like unit frames and making it follow the mouse around to give informaiton. Amazing what you can do when you know what you are doing.

Hey Shade, what sizes do you make your artwork before you use them in WA? Are there any tutorials on how to implement your own artwork like you have? I really dig your setup and would like to make my own but don't want to just go ripping off all your work.

These are really nice. What font are you using in the first 3?

Sorry it's old code, was trying to skin every Bartender button one by one, then decided I was stupid not using Masque. You can safely delete it.

Well as Silver Eyes did point out way too big ^^
You may use, rip-apart and learn from all my shared files, if I didn't want you to have it I wouldn't share it.

Spoiler: 

As for resolution when I make my next UI I would go with this size for Mainbar: (You can check out the sizes of my current TGA Files aswell.)



TGA settings:


To work with transparency you need an Alpha channel in the TGA. (Pretty easy)

As always Shade, thank you.

[Coxeter]

I'm back and it's time to start tweaking the CleanSlate.

[Arborus]

Working on my UI for the first time in ages. This is what I worked out tonight. Really only happy with the unit frames at the moment. Any ideas would be sweet.

I'm using your old one and I really enjoy

Only thing is that stuf uses a weird coordinate system so your res being 1440p screws with it being on 1080p

Cheeers

It's been so long, i'm not even sure which iteration it could be lol. Also, yeah, I wish I could anchor things better to adapt to more resolutions.

AHhh that one, yeah that was a nice one. Maybe I'll post a screenshot of my new one after work today.
