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 .
That was great feed back. Let me just adress a few things people seem to linger on..lol.
1. The money text color. That is just how auditor displays it. I do not no LUA and bazooka wont let me change things on a lot of 3rd party plugins. Its just one yellow thing. I dont miind it.
2. Other texts on the bar..well I just havent gotten around to making all of them the same size/font/boldness/color. my fault there.
3. THE EMPTY BUTTONS....Lol, I am working on a new mage, he is only 34 so I dont have any more buttons to put there. I guess I can post pics on one of my toons that is 80 if that will suffice the button hounds....hehe.
4. Bags/other misc displays. Well, I like to raid and all, but honestly the whole raid schedual and guild/raid BS just got to me. I much more enjoy myself leveling toons. So things like bag space, and some other little things like xp, durability, those are VERY usefull to me. I level and quest for long periods at times, and i like to see this info quickly.
5. The Bars. I used to have ONE bar. I didnt like it. Currently I have three equal bars and I think It looks good.

I think thats about everything that keeps coming up.. Thanks to all for the great input.
