Not 100% happy with my raid frames.
I'm in a dilemma with this.
I want a pixel based theme because i think they look great and work as they intend to do but most of all the screen on the machine is 13". On the other hand i cannot use a pixel UI because of the resolution, if i lower the resolution the focus is fucked up..
Could you paste you're font somewhere for me please?
Smaller screen = lower resolution = easier to read pixel-fonts.
I don't think I can give a lot of good feedback because it just seems cluttered to me where you might think it's space efficient and compact.
In your combat screenshot there seems to be a lot of overlapping in the middle of the screen. I also think the buffbars are space-inefficient there. Have you tried replacing them with buff icons?
Looks good. Except for the bossframe!! :P
I would definitely make the raid frames wider. Instead of it being a square, make it a rectangle. You could reduce it's height as well and instead of the health bars being vertical, make then horizontal.
The only other thing I noticed are the bars on your dps meter and the (boss?)-timers to the left of your screen. You probably prefer it that way, but I personally would have a border on these bars and maybe add a thin outline to the font.
I did have them wider in my video but I was using other colors there. The thing I am most unhappy about is the coloring. Class colors are too bright, but if I invert it, it's too dark. I'd add borders to the BigWigs and Skada if I knew how to do it in an easy way.
Ariadne are you considering uploading that UI anywhere by any chance ?
This kind of colouring issues is one of the reasons I made the change to using transparent unit frames. With transparent frames the bright colours are only present on people with lower health and needs your attention, as can be seen on one of my latest screenshots.
(I'm painfully aware of some of my action buttons are touching each other, one of the unfortunate problems with using Bartender as it scales the buttons instead of putting them at a fixed size.)
As for BigWigs borders, you can use QuseBossStyles. I made a post earlier about Skada borders, however this requires lua editing which means the changes has to be applied with every update:
It could be your DPS Meeter @ the Elegon issue, I remember during progress some people said they stopped getting it after they disabled their recount however disabling skada did nothing for me. I get that FPS drop at the last phase running close to no addons anyways but I play on a 6 year old laptop so I figured it would be that :/.
Any chance you could maybe upload your grid (or whichever raid frame addon you use) settings if you don't want to upload your whole UI yet? They look exactly like how I'd like mine to be from the look of it on your Sha vid but I'm waaaaay too lazy to ever bother setting up AddOns my self .
