Post Your UI

[Astrizia]

Just finished rebuilding my UI after deleting it to try something new and realized I have gotten to used to ElvUI to use anything else and like it.
Still needs tweaking, especially on the combat text and the dbm warnings. Also tooltips are now turned of in combat, which for some reason they where not when this screenshot was taken.
Bar 1&2 is not visible when out of combat.

Had some fun with Raven today. Thought I'd try a new way of showing dots on my target.


Three pics together to show what actually happens. You can have a lot of fun with vertical timeline.
Not so much fun creating one for every single dot though.

Can't you just copy setting and change the aura of them?

I've got the wonderful gift of doing stuff the hard way. Made three frames from scratch, then I realised I could copy settings.
Not that making one of these takes forever. More annoying.

I for one love the direction your UI is heading! It might be because I'm not peronally a big fan of pixel fonts however. Speaking of which, may I ask what font you are using? And what kind of outline is this, simply THINOUTLINE or the regular one? And what are the offsets?

Hopefully I don't scare you off with my questions!

Drayarr UI.

What font are you using in your chat frame?

One thing I noticed. Your boss timers seem to have some missing borders on half the bars, other than that not bad at all.

Drayarr UI.

• All your fonts apart from chat and a few others look like they're the wrong size, unless you've resized the image
• Damage meter needs moving up 3 or so pixels, it's clipping on the minimap
• Your minimap needs to be moved slightly as it's missing borders. Same with boss timer bars
• Boss frame's power bar needs changing to be more in line with the others
• Eclipse bar needs border and monochrome on font
• I disagree with your choice of color for health bars. Purely subjective
• Debuff Icon on raid frames needs reduction in size possibly, looks bad covering the power bar
• Do you really need to know which players are tanks, healers or DPS in a raid? If it's your guild you should know their names by now
• Text on cast bar needs moving up 1 pixel.

I was bored.

C&C is fine, i openly accept it. Helps me to tidy my ui up.
Chat font is size 12 because i couldnt see it at 8. rest of the ui should be size 8
Need to go look in the LUA file for the raid debuff icon, i can only resize it from ingame.
Cant seem to Monochrome font on BPT
Role Icon Removed
Damage Meter Moved
Cant move cast bar text up, may need to look in LUA

He's using ElvUI, so moving the debuff icon around on the raid frames is not possible. It covers the power bar no matter what size you make it.
we've found another issue with Elv!

Only reason I use ElvUI myself with the addon skin addition is to have everything + addons match an overall same look. I use different castbars, buff/debuff and unit frames with my Elv cause I find it too limited on so many ways.

He poo poo's all tickets on anything that don't fit in his own personal preference IMO, which in turn loses out in some overall customization of it.

Trust me, theres a few *winks*

@OVM - What color would you have the health bars? Mine do change color depending on target hp

[OriginalVocalMix]

Figured out that I don't need combat text. It's so liberating.

If it changes based on HP that's fine, I just find it an ugly shade of green/yellow.

Color is hp dependant, by percentage iirc.

On the note of Combat text, moving that way myself was playing around with xCT+ but i couldnt get it how i wanted it, think i might just turn FCT off completely!
Your UI is looking sleek, only thing i can see is buff durations, id have it just below, rather than overlapping bottom border - just me tho :P
What addon is it that shows "Brain Freeze" on your screenie?

I didn't realize how much screen space combat text takes up until I disabled it. The buff duration overlap is so I don't have to have a large gap between buff rows, as well as being a stylistic choice.

The Brain Freeze notification is xCT+. I've got nearly everything turned off, apart from the middle frame and showing misses, immunes etc in outgoing damage, as that's fairly important.

The general frame is left as is. SS shows settings for outgoing frame. All others are disabled.

Quest tracker addon? Or is it an ElvUi thing?

That's SorhaQuestLog, with some hamfisted 5.0 fixes by me.

Thanks for the comments (: I'm still working on it quite a bit; customized recount somewhat with thanks to lyn giving me a piece of code to give it a nice border/background! I'll get a screenshot up today sometime.

The font is Expressway Rg with a thinoutline and no shadow offsets.
