1. To whomever mentioned the different color gold for the time, bag space, etc... I think that is the same color, but it looks different because some of those are in bold, while others are not, affecting the color slightly.

2. Leaving some spaces in the action bar might look unsightly, but it might be a semi-clicker thing. When it comes to my own UI, I use my mouse to click most things on the right side, while using my left hand for all keyboarding. So, the result is that some of the more important things have a space next to them to facilitate clicking (IE a better visual representation of where it is so I can move my mouse there quickly.) -- I realize this is a very odd way of playing, but I'm very right-hand oriented.

3. I also think the bottom info bar should either be a single bar, or 2 even length bars. I don't see why the time has to be off by itself like that. Also, I think that having that bar a bit lower, and perhaps less noticeable might improve the functionality of the UI. When you're in a raid, you don't really need to know how many bag spaces you have. I think it's just extraneous information that your eyes don't need to be bothered with. You have to consider that your eyes have a large peripheral range, so you are seeing things even if you aren't focused on them.


Btw... please don't take any of these things as criticisms! If you like your UI then keep it that way! Certainly don't feel the need to change something because few forum nerds said so, these are just things to consider .
