Panther  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 14.3
by: Kupotek [More]

Welcome to Panther, formerly Kittyui!
This UI is primarily designed around Asssassination Rogues, but can be
adjusted to any class.
For support please email [email protected]


Panther UI (1920x1280)
Resizeable in /dom and /kgpanels config

Panther is a user interface replacement I started releasing back in 2008, it became popular all over the world which always amazed me, and was in the top 10 downloaded UIs and though I've taken extended breaks from WOW, every time I come back is a new challenge to see if I can get my UI working with current WOW. The UI changes the look and feel of the game through the use of my own custom graphics, keybindings, it's a near complete augmentation while making quite a few things more convenient and effective (at least to me) and I am working on the thing all the time to improve it, and sometimes mess it all up and have to rethink, it helps with reaction time which is crucial for a healer and rogue. I don't play any other classes, but it seems it could be good there too and may make you a more effective player overall. I hope you enjoy it.

The first thing to do when logging to the game is to set your profiles: /cb > addons > castbars > Profiles > Set the current profile to Panther and then where it says copy from: choose Area52. I will fix this in the next update.




Remember to keep your addons fresh and updated via Twitch!

Just remember when you install Panther that some profiles seem to be linked to character names or revert to default.

Features:
  • /clear clears active chat window
  • Combat and OOC Dashboard with weakaura tracking
  • Addon Control Panel to create raid and world sets
  • So much more!

Installed Addons:
  • !BugGrabber
  • Ace3
  • Addon Control Panel
  • Broker_Everything
  • Broker_WorldQuests
  • BugSack
  • Castbars
  • Chatter
  • Chinchilla (My custom art)
  • CorruptionTooltips
  • Deadly Boss Mods
  • DejaCharacterStats
  • Details
  • DockingStation
  • Dominos
  • GottaGoFast
  • kgPanels (My custom art)
  • MountSpy
  • MoveAnything
  • Notes
  • PantherWelcome (My custom control panel)
  • Pawn
  • Plater
  • PremadeGroupsFilter
  • RaiderIO
  • RareScanner
  • Scrap
  • SharedMedia (To load my custom art)
  • TipTac
  • TomTom
  • WeakAuras

Install:
  • Log out and Exit Game
  • Delete or Move Old WTF and Interface folders
  • Extract Panther folders and move my WTF and Interface folder to your WOW directory.
  • Go into WTF folder and rename the following folders as requested: Your Account Name, Your Server Name, Your Character Name ((Important note: Do not rename the folder called "Account" but the one called "ACCOUNT NAME" all in caps! Account name should not be your email address but your actual account name Server Name and Character Name are not written all in caps.))
  • Disable Dominoes > Encounters to assure zone action elements are visible.

FAQ:

Q: How do I find my account name?

A: Login to your official account at https://us.battle.net/account/management/

How to change the skills being tracked by the LCD HUD: /wa to go into weakauras and set new named under the Trigger tab.

You will see:

YOUR GAME ACCOUNTS
World of Warcraft® : Battle for Azeroth®
[accountname] Standard Edition

If your account is listed as wow1, open your world of warcraft folder > account > and you should see a folder with a unique name or numbers, that is your actual individual account name... delete the interface and wtf folders, and install mine, and rename the youraccountname folder to your individualized account ID that was there.
Thank you,

4. Ingame type /icehud config set existing profile to Default

[Rename]SERVERNAME
[Rename]CHARACTERNAME

8. Make sure at the login screen, that out of date addons is checked.

Now you should be set...

12

Big changes, across the board, streamlined, did away with a bag mod, I love the default bags now that they added functionality, and while they lack some organizational customization, bag addons seem to slow loading for me, just a very invasive addon it seems... so I did away with it, feel free to add a bag mod of your own liking of course.

Many other changes, fixes, polishes... I hope you enjoy it! And as always, all comments are welcome and encouraged.

'Orphaned' addons from the removal of Auctioneer suite:
!Swatter (serves a similar function as !BugGrabber and BugSack).
BeanCounter
Enchantrix
Enchantrix-Barker
EnhTooltip
Informant
Stubby


(Won't cause the same kind of issues that originally concerned me about the inclusion of your realm's auctioneer scan data though, if you do decide to leave these in.) [EDITED:
If you do like the idea of including Auctioneer, you could do this with minimal risk by including a the full suite package - but not including your own saved variables. Then, update the readme.txt for your compilation with instructions on how an existing auctioneer user can/should back up the saved variables then copy them back in after installing this UI compilation.]

Left-over boss mod:
BigWigs_ZulAman

Obsolete?:
ImprovedCamera -Possibly no longer as useful in WoW 3.02. I think it's function overlaps with new 3.x settings/features. Unsure.


Ace2 and Ace3 libraries:
I would look to clean up the Ace2, Ace3, and AddonName\libs\Aceblahblah structure and perhaps seek to either embed or disembed. But not both. Perhaps save this step for after you've got everything else the way you want it to be.

Blizzard_* Stuff
:
I think they get recreated once opened up in game, if they don't already exist, but might be worth testing the removal of the ..\AddOns\Blizzard_* folders from the package. Reason: If Blizz updates them, but someone then downloads the version in this package and it's out-of-date.. .what happens? (I don't know). I suppose it's possible they'd mess up the update though.

Account Info:
Double-check and remove any references to your ACCOUNTNAME in ..\WTF\*.

I'm sorry I hadn't looked at the new updates yet. I'll hang around this thread and see if i can help you in anyway. It's awesome watching it go through the changes.
Using Chatter instead of Prat. What I need to do is go through all my addons, options and configurations and files with a fine toothed comb now that I'm
actually releasing my UI

Should be fun. And thanks for all the encouragement!

1) Take a look at some other unitframes, play around with Pitbull some more. It can do just about anything.

2) Find a button_facade skin for buffs and buttons.

3) Your text is gigantic! If you need it this way because you can't see it, that's okay, if not, it's way too big. Also, make sure everything uses the same font and bar texture.

3) autohide autobar if you can.

This is a great UI, just needs some fine tuning and some new unitframes. I may mess a little with it this week if I get some time. Good luck!

Syrup, hi... a few of your concerns are already addressed in the last updates.

1. I've been playing around with Pitbull and changed the look and feel and will continue to in the following weeks ahead.

2. Now that cyCircled is dead I switched to ButtonFacade today.

3. I keep making the text bigger but it defaults back to 14, can't understand why at the moment.

4. Autobar autohide also does not seem to be working, which I am discussing with autobar's author about already.

Thank you so much for the comments, I really appreciate them!

2) Find a button_facade skin for buffs and buttons.

3) Your text is gigantic! If you need it this way because you can't see it, that's okay, if not, it's way too big. Also, make sure everything uses the same font and bar texture.

3) autohide autobar if you can.

This is a great UI, just needs some fine tuning and some new unitframes. I may mess a little with it this week if I get some time. Good luck!

Possible improvements:

* delete the *.bak and *old files. Takes about 14 seconds using your operating system's search utility. Saves WoWI and end-users bandwidth and disk space. Saves compilation author upload time/bandwidth.

* delete the macro, key bindings, and configuration settings that aren't required or unique to this UI. Really don't need to assume that everyone has "Realtek HD Audio output" or that keybinds for auto-run are going to be button X on the mouse, especially if you don't have mouse with that button. Not sure how this works now with server side storage of macros, and the options relating to that, but probably don't want to include the 8 or 9 macros included for fear of over-writing someone else's custom macros.

* Auctioneer... probably not a great addon to include in a UI compilation. Any addon that is dependent upon realm and user-specific data to provide it's statistical analysis and recommendations won't work all that well for someone else. Not much of an issue if it's a first-time install for a person, but if someone has been building up AH stats for a while, installing this compilation will wipe that out. Any updates to the compilation will also wipe out that data. Not sure what to do here, but I wouldn't want to have to walk people through trying to save and/or recover their data if this UI package gets installed. I would probably remove it from the compilation, with a note in the readme about AH addons - and perhaps point people to the current version of Auctioneer in case they want to install it separately.

[Edit: This is my first look at UI compilations. I don't know if similar issues exist in other packages.]

On the plus side, I like the looks of this UI. That's why I'm digging so hard into it's guts - I want to ensure things are going to work. Anytime someone says, "Just rename your WTF and Interface folders" I get suspicious about whether or not that's really the best approach for the user - or just an easy way out for addon authors and suite compilers.
