very nice and clean what addons are you using for the ragebar and icons above it?

Indeed. I resubbed to WoW today and decided to scrap the UI after doing a raid with it. Felt like a big cluster of info...not sure why I didn't do it before. Now I snagged ElvUI and am fiddling with the stuff to get it in a workable state. It's mostly done but I still need to configure a scrolling combat text addon, probably Mik's.
Here's how it currently looks.

I'm still fiddlin' with it but it's mostly workable I think. DBM has alerts that show close to the middle, above my character slightly. I may widen the space between me and the target. Focus is under my frame, target of target is under the target frame.
Overall it's a step in the right direction I'd think. I can look around more easily without having to look at the corner of the screen now so that's nice. I also have the enemy nameplates show my debuffs so I can track seal cleaving more easily. I don't have pet bar shown because Idunno wtf to do with it on say a warlock or hunter. For now I'll just leave it alone since I mostly play Paladin, Warrior and Shaman.
I also need to tweak boss buff and debuff junk I think...maybe. Dunno.

Song that's currently stuck in my head: pretty much anything from Dance With the Dead
Top left is the Vuhdo config menu and the middle one looks like Powerauras or Weakauras menu. Either way they are just menus that are open to show all the ui options.
Certainly is. But the UI is still taking up far more screen space than it needs to. You're looking at almost 45% of your entire screen not being visible.
Reduce the size of some elements.
It looks good because it's designed. It doesn't look good because the lay-out makes little sense, and here are a few reasons why:
The Action bars on the side are completely squeezed in as if you hadn't accounted for the placement of the Threat meter and Recount. (You hadn't).
You have way more Action bars than you really need to.
The location of both your Tooltip and Class bar are in a really awkward position, and doesn't align with anything else.
Your Threat meter and Recount are placed as if you have no spacial awareness.
- If you're up for the task, I'd strongly recommend compiling your own UI.
Evaluate what you really need. Plan the UI by placing the different elements in your head, or draw it on paper.
The finished product may look completely different from what you had pictured in your mind, but at least you went in with a rough idea.
Make it aesthetically pleasing when you have everything roughly down. Addons such as KgPanels, SexyMap and Masque are great for customizing the over-all looks of the UI; giving it your personal touch. Also use a highly customizable Unit Frame addon, such as Stuf.
And if you have any questions, feeling lost, looking for feedback, or just need a fresh eye; the MMO-C community is both helpful, and innovative.
Been busy remaking UI's since my Hard Drive died, but here's a recent UI I've been working on outside of VxtUI.
Screen:
Using a texture made by Kaitain of EU-Ravencrest. Literally all the thanks goes to Kait for the SEXY striped bar texture that this UI focuses around. And before you ask, no this is not Elv/Tuk. I make my UI's from the ground up, using individual addons. Sharing this UI right now with only guild members and RealID friends. Enjoy!

Personally I dislike the HP bar texture a lot. It hurts to look at. :')
Also, making your buffs in the top left corner the same size as your action bar buttons would look better - more consistency!
Other than those 2 points; looks awesome
EDIT: Omg. My sister has the same name as the player logging on your Real.id in chat. She doesn't play WoW, but it's still creepy!

Raizenyokai your ui looks great

I just use dominoes and a few other addons that don't do anything for the UI.

— oh, honey.
Current:
I really want some feedback on this, I haven't bothered making a new proper UI on this PC, but returning to ElvUI feels good.
Throw all your ideas at me.
