Screen for no damn reasonFollow

Except for the Map and unitframes, it looks... stock. What kind of resolution do you play at, and do you have an autoshot timer?

Personally, I am fond of the slick UI's. I remove all unnecessary graphics (gryphon bars and so on) and make my buttons and bars smaller. Unitframes, I remove all portraits, and replace it with a tiny class symbol. The round map is replaced by a square map, and the buff display is changed into an orderly list. Depending on the situation (solo PvE, Group/Raid PvE, solo PvP, Group/Raid PvP) I have anything from one to three chatboxes showing. Green text on Black for guildchat, in the same box Blue party chat, and purple whispers. Classchannels in white, same box. General, Trade and all the public channels in one box. White on Seethrough Gray. And Combat Log in a third, modded to be easily read.

For good PvP information, centered around my character I have ArcHUD, and use a SCT mod that suits it. All the information about myself, my pet, my target and my target's target is around my character with enough transparency to not block any views. And I use zHuntermod for Autoshot timer and quickstrip. Only the Aspect bar shows though.

So, no Screenshot from me (don't think I actually have any showing my UI, just pure WoW Graphic SCs), but I hope this explanation shows it well.

Oh don't take it as criticism. Stock UI's are fine.
But I have just personally become fond of creating my own UI, since it means I can tailor it to every class I play. Besides, it's just fun. Tearing apart the normal stuff, and create something of your own. Sometimes it turns out to be a mess, but sometimes it just becomes awesome.

Its a working progress so dont all get up in arms lol.
StormUI2.0

Don't have screenies of my UI at the moment, and since the bank got retarded and somehow managed to misplace my last paycheck, my WoW subscription ran out two days ago. Until I get the money back, I can't reactivate the account and take any either. Annoying as hell. Sorry...

Hey Caldone, What's the bar on the top of your screen?

I liked the way that Titan looked, but I haven't been able to get a version that has worked.

You know that chimny outside kara? yah...

Not bad, looks nice, though I don't like the buttons all in one area.



What is the thing around your toon? Is that Arc Hud?



1280x1040- Still ned to update my Monitor to a 20" for higher res.



Yeah I don't know how to do that :(

Ill have to look into getting ArcHud and playing around with it.

Yea I have some guildes who use it and thinking or geting it for my lock, though mine is only level 14. Still, would rather get used to it early than later on :P

North, pull that big head out of whatever hole it is hiding in and give us a Necro like UI!

So after some much needed work I present The Storm UI... and I still messed up, but I need a break so the one bar that is outside can stay. You cant see my pet bar because I was mounted when I snapped the pic, but it is above mini-map right above the border.

Stormscar's UI Final

Let me know what you all think.

Argh, I hate mods with voiceovers. It's so intrusive. Natur Cast Bars (or whatever it's called) has sneaked them in, and it felt like there was a 15 yo boy playing counter strike in my head.

So much wasted space ; ;

Nix the headers over each of the button groups and put them closer together; you know what everything is by sight, I'd hope. Put in a small (3~6 buttons) 'junkpile' button area where you can toss in rank 1 arcane or whatever else you might need for a situation in the recycled space.

Half of your commands aren't even grouped with like kind, but that's more of a nitpick than a problem (Scatter Shot isn't a DoT, and you have Growl and Eagle Eyes up under your buff list).

MonkeyQuest is a flat dumb addon in my opinion, and you're realistically watching way more quests than you could possibly be doing simultaneously.

Nix your portraits. You can see what you, your party, and your target look like on the screen.

Tradeskills do not need to be battle accessible; leave them off your bars completely (or find a fubar/titan/etc plugin that gives you one-click access to them). Bandages and potions are ok mandatory to have around, but FA skill is not.

If you consolidate, I'd bet you could bring the chat window back down in line with the rest of your 'information zone' which would make it way way WAY easier to keep up with it while in combat.


That's what I'd do anyway.

I've always been fine with the stock skin, but recently, my boyfriend changed his, and I'm kinda interested in trying a custom one out. So far, I've gotten adventurous and installed Titan, but I even scale that down a bit, because I can never get enough on to the screen (even with my 1680x1050 resolution). 22" widescreen FTW. And Caldone, if you're in the market for a nice big monitor, the Samsung SyncMaster 226bw is on clearance all over the place, and it's a REALLY slick monitor. 2ms response time and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. I picked one up for $250. I was really weary of going from CRT to LCD because in the past, LCDs have been crap, but I am SOOOO happy with this one. It looks so much better than my old CRT.

oof, that got off-topic.

here's a screen of mine. Don't pay attention to the DPS meter. My hunter was auto-shotting the elites while I was on my boyfriend's computer playing his rogue, lol.

oh, and that missing slot on my action bar is scatter. I forgot to lock the bar, and accidentally clicked it off.
