I got tired of fixing, re-fixing, and finding replacements for addons. I was a bartender, dominos, and tons other addons and packs user and it was fun doing all of it over the years. I guess the thing that bothered me most was the dwarf gryphon butts and the background bar clutter. The gryphon caps were the file for the dwarf, and there was only one other made in the game that I know of and that was the lion ones for humans, but then I would just have lion butts lol. I did edit the lions at one point and turned their heads down where they fit on the sides, but I really like it best with none and being able to see behind the bars some without needing to make them transparent that cause problems in especially red areas for me, or the need to add artificial gaps.
When I have an XP bar it's just the bar and 30% transparent with no bubbles.
The raid frames are just the default with a macro that makes the adjustment bars better. I find that longer HP/Rage bars help me time things much better, but I'm not a healer and to each their own.

So after the constructive critisicm as well as the latter I went for a new design off ElvUI (afterall i enjoy doing this so hey ) ... and i like it, still a WIP as always .. i want to do some things with weak auras as ive yet to figure it out .. and probably a second profile all together for regular dungeons and raids with less action bars .. but heres what im rockin now, as on my hunter..

As always any questions, comments, or recommendations are encouraged and appreciated !
Thanks
It's actually the Benik UI addon for ElvUI: http://www.tukui.org/addons/index.php?act=view&id=228
Unfortunately I don't believe that there are any plans for a public release, but you could always customize to make it look close!
I personally like your new one a lot more. Feels more open Never ment anything bad about your previous one either. Just typed what came to mind when I saw it. After all if you like an UI and it works for you then that is all that matters.
Things you could improve fairly quickly that comes to mind is making sure all your fonts are the same (combat text different than unitframe font) and making your Skada style match the rest of the UI instead of being nearly default.
Instead of posting just text I figured I'd throw in the UI I have been playing with this last tier.

Yeah for sure, no I appreciate it im open for any time of comment ! And im glad as it made me search more and ElvUI was able to take over like 50 addons I was using haha .. im still pretty impressed i was able to put all that together. even as much as spartanui for that spinning afkness, but elvui is much cooler, especially with troll dance ;D
But yes this new one is nice and I will be using, i have been meaning to redo the skada skin and i am constantly changing fonts i always miss one and find it and what not.
Nice setup, thats what I was wanting to do for raids, with a very limited action bar space and less chat. Questions: what are the raid frames, player/target frames, and whats to the left and right of your center ?
