How To Make a Good UIFollow

Fantastic, got it to work. Thanks.

I do have some questions. I want to move the casting bar, the cooldown icons, and the "remaining flight time" bars, but I have no idea which mod those belong to.

Also, what did you use for you CC watcher? Thanks man. Loving the mods so far!

Casting is Quartz, cooldowns are Cooling.

There is no "CC watcher". There are EBB bars that show target debuffs specific to rogues, but they will not track when you switch targets.


That doesn't look like my UI.

If you're loading my WTF files for Pitbull, I doubt they will work with a resolution that small, since they're fairly low on my screen and your resolution is considerably smaller than the one I use.

The error is probably due to mismatched versions of addons. Try updating the addons, or try disabling the addon that's giving you the error, one by one, until you can log on without the error popping up. Once you don't get an error, the last addon you disabled was the problem.

Gotta do /cooling setup to move the Cooling bars around.

When I make my action bars invisible (0 opacity), I can't use the moves anymore.

Dont bind your buttons to the action bars if you want to turn then invisible, but instead bind them to individual skills in your spell book (P).

No, no mods interrupt cartographer. The options are listed either in the cartographer frame (M), or in the cratographer menu (in the RockLib menu).

The "stupid quest watcher" is part of smipleMinimap. You can't disable it unless you download MonkeyQuest or a similar addon.

Mostly just trial and error, and through omgphatloots.

Auto-hide the top Fubar, get rid of the multiple FPS trackers, hide the anchor of EBB, get rid of DamageMeters as it's a crappy addon, hide your keyring, scale your bongos bar so that it's smaller, and hide minimap icons, including the default zoom buttons and the time button.

Also, set up a theme with fonts and textures to make your UI seem like one piece rather than just 16 different addons thrown together.

I personally used the Healbot texture and the Bignoodletilting font for my UI and MyriadPro for the chat text. It brings the UI together and gives it a clean finish.

ClearFont2 and right click the tab at the top of the chat box and unlock it, then click and drag the chat box by the tab.

You can resize it by dragging the edges, too.

Better, but you still have too much crap showing (hide that EBB anchor in the top right!).

You still need a unifying font (usually the one that you use for SCT) and texture; on your EBB right now, you're using the Blizz default and on your Pitbull I'm seeing Cilo's (could also be Otravi, they look very similar).

Try downloading cyCircled from wowace to make your bongos bar not as boring, and for god's sake, get rid of KTM. Use Omen if you're going to be raiding, but you shouldn't need Omen for 5 mans.

edit: Also, you need to move some of your minimap buttons onto Fubar and auto-hide Fubar. I see Bongos, Clearfont2, and a few others. Download simpleMinimap, find the slash commands to work those after putting as many as possible on Fubar (I think I see metamap and gatherer icons, if so, get rid of them and download cartographer), and start hiding stuff like the coordinates, zoom buttons, location bar, day/night icon, etc. I should be able to see just a round minimap with nothing going around it.

It's definitely a start, and it's useable, but it's nowhere near polished.
