KaitUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.1
by: Kaitain1977 [More]

The only resolution that is supported is 1920x1080. Most other resolutions should still work, but I can't guarantee it. You may have to adjust the layout a bit yourself.

As WeakAuras is part of the UI upload, back up / export your own WAs before installing.

KaitUI is beer-powered. If it runs out of beer, it stops working.

Cheers!



Step 1

Backup your current UI. Do this by opening your WoW folder and moving the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder to a safe place elsewhere on your hard drive. If things go wrong later, put these folders back into your WoW folder and all will be as it was.

Step 2

Unzip the download and move the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder into your WoW folder

Step 3

Inside the WTF folder you will find folders that are name WTF > Account > ACCOUNTNAME > SavedVariables. Rename the folder called ACCOUNTNAME to be whatever your account name is. If you are unsure what to name it, check the folders that you backed up in Step 1.

Step 3.5

Go to https://www.tukui.org/download.php?ui=elvui and download ElvUI. Once you've unzipped the download, put the two folders into your Interface>Addons folder.

Step 4

Start WoW. On the character selection screen, click the Addons button in the bottom left, then in the top right of the panel that pops up

Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.

Make sure ALL addons in the list are enabled

Step 5

Once you are in the game, ElvUI will be propting you with instalation stuff.

Click SKIP PROCESS

Step 6

Once Elv has reloadui your UI, you might need to use the Raid Frame Menu (second from right of the footer buttons) to change raid frames to one of the presets

Also -
I just found a small issue with the buffs - If when targeting yourself the buff and debuffs top left and top right aren't symmetrical, go to ElvUI (/elvui) > Buffs & Debuffs, and disable. It will ask you to reloadui.


When using KaitUI, you can safely update these addons:

ElvUI
Raven
WeakAuras2
Plexus
DynamicCam
MoveAnything


+ any others that you add yourself

But do NOT try to update these:

kgPanels
Plexus Layouts
SharedMedia
KaitMedia



NOTES

- Open WeakAuras with /wa for now (not the menu).
Opening WeakAuras config with the menu first causes it to appear with items missing from the aura list. Collapse/uncollapse something in the list and it will immediately fix it. After the config has been opening once it should be fine all subsequent times.

- there are some hidden bars (including bar1) to the right of the main action bar. These are bars for keybinds. The main visible bar is for showing cooldowns. The assumption is that you know what your keybinds are.

- the pet bar and class power bars kind of ruin the elegance of the player frame area. I personally will be using weakauras to show them in a more contextual way, but I thought I'd leave the Elv versions visible as default in case anyone got confused.

- The 3D model of you character on the Spec/Talents screen is positioned as if your character is a female night elf. For some other races, specifically small races, your player model might be way off. I'll make a tutorial on how to fix that soon, but basically you have to exlude your race from loading on the main KaitUI Talents > Player aura, duplicate it and make the new aura only load for your race, then adjust the XYZ display values. Don't use the slider's though, edit the texts, because you have to do it blind. When in WA config, it's not showing you the model right.


Suggested additional addons:

Opie is a wonderfully elegant solution for using things like potions, crafting, etc. I notice a lot of games bind icon wheel interfaces to the C key (like Overwatch), so if you do that with OPie it feels very natural.

Clique Do more with your mouse when healing. Not really necessary if you never heal.

2.1.1 Removed ElvUI files (needs to be downloaded from ElvUI site, because ElvUI).

2.1 Updated for Shadowlands

1.2 - Added a new action Bar below the main bar (this was often requested). Changed the layout so that quest tracking is not back on the right, DPSer raid frames on the left. This was so I could remove the code making the minimap hiding and raid frames interact. My code was buggy and crap, and now it's gone. Hurray! UIscaler addon removed because it seemed to not be working anymore.

1.1 - Updated for patch 6.1. Some addons updated, some TOCs updated, some WeakAuras changes and updates

1.0.2 - Changed scripts in KaitMedia addon and in kgPanels that relate to Grid so that (hopefully) nothing freaks out too badly if you don't have Grid installed (i.e. if you want to use a different raid addon). The popup panels for changing Grid profiles won't do anything for you without Grid, but at least they aren't going to cause errors. Uou need Grid enabled to run /kaitinstall. Install the profiles then switch your raid addon afterwards.


1.0.1 - Updated KaitMedia script to fix a non-English client bug. Updated some kgPanels scripts to fix a non-English client bug. Added Clampy's focus bar WeakAura for hunters. Stopped Party Frames (P) button from causing error when not in a group.

1.0 - Updated some kgPanels scripts. Added some new WeakAuras bars for moonkin and demon warlock. Added some graphics to the KaitMedia folders. Changed the KaitInstaller script. Removed Opie, Bindpad and Dominos, and added Bartender4.

0.7.1 - Updated some kgPanels scripts to cause less lua errors

Is there a way to change fonts? I'm not a fan of the current font bundled with the UI?

I'm not sure. Tbh I'm unhappy with it on so many levels. On top of that, I'm unemployed at the moment and looking for work, so I don't have heaps of time to work on it.

I'll keep you updated on progress though
I think it looks awesome!

No worries, quick question though: What is controlling the gold info panel? I can see a bunch of your character and I'm trying to reset the info but can't figure out the addon/hotkey to reset it.

The first is simply an outdated kuiNameplates. Update and you're fine. Standard stuff.

The second was trickier as I know very little about Lua. The error mentioned FriendsMicroButton so I googled that and the recent patch 7.1. Turns out Blizz renamed this to QuickJoinToastButton. the error also mentioned kgpanel. I checked the kgPanel.lua in the addons folder for FriendsMicroButton, no dice. The file you want is at WTF/youraccountname/SavedVariables/kgPanel.lua. Find and replace FriendsMicroButton with QuickJoinToastButton and you're golden. (I use Notepad++ to edit files like these)

I then re-downloaded Masque and WeakAuras2 and copied just the .lua, lua.bak, and options.lua, options.lua.bak files.

I know this sounds like a lot but its just copy and pasting.

Start the game and open weakauras up and start importing all the auras from the notepad file from the original kaitui. Once you do this you can open up masque and set masque to adjust what you want it to.

There was just custom code in these files forcing masque to use kait pixelimperfect look to everything. And it just did not look right with my weak auras.

I love this UI a lot just had to adjust it to my tastes. Thanks Kait for such a great UI.
Here is a pic of my finished UI.
Hey costomojin,

Glad you got that sorted out, and thanks for sharing. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I did read you post, but was still thinking of a solution. :-)

Hi costomojin,

the error looks like you need to update KuiNameplaes addon maybe?

You can't use Masque to skin WeakAuras, it can only be done by replacing the actual icons in the way that "addons" like this do: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...cons-Thin.html (it's not an addon really, it's just icon files that replace the default ones)
Maybe skin was the wrong word. masque has several different visual weak auras lets say for icons. however i cant change them using your ui.
i know elvui has an option to let masque take back control of the weak aura icon instead of overriding it to the elvui version.
the pic below is lui, and the round eat weak aura is masque/trinity. I just dont know why your ui will not let me chose a different masque for weak auras.


Here is a pic from elvui where you have to uncheck weakauras in order for masque to work on weak auras or elvui will override masque. I found a file called KaitMasque.lua, is this possibly causing an issue by forcing the kait pixel imperfect look? just wondering since this is the default for weakauras in masque.


Also how do i move the boss debuffs. the ursoc rend flesh and overwhelm debuffs where in a bad location and i would like to move them.
