Here is a UI I have put together for rogue (based on the one shown on oneroguesjourney.com) and im looking for some tips to improve it or any opinions about it.

All I would have to say is raid frames are too big. Besides that it looks good.

Riva94 · 01-04-09, 01:03 PM

Thanks, ill make them smaller then reload it.

Some things i would change:
1. Remove Debuffs from Targetframe (behind Omen)
2. Targetframe seems smaller than Playerframe (height)
3. 4xDebuffs (classtimer, Hud, Tagetframe. between player and targetframe).
4. Fontsize on the Buffbars (topleft, -right) dont match the other fontsizes.
5. Move TomtomArrow to the right
6. Use the same bartexture on all frames.
7. maybe Fubar on mouseover
8. Hide Hud ooc

thank you very much, i will do all that, one question though: what do you mean when you said 4xDebuffs (classtimer, Hud, Tagetframe. between player and targetframe) Did you mean there are too many places where the buffs apear?

The only thing, besides what is mentioned already, I would do is add Align. This will help you align the objects of your UI (some people are OCD about things lining up properly on the screen lol).

Maybe try hiding a few more things until absolutely needed. Only show omen when you're in PVE rather than PVP considering. Having Recount open all the time is a bit unneeded, open it when you're curious hide it otherwise. Remove the buffs from your personal unit frame since you have the ElkBBs on the left, a little redundant. As mentioned the raid frames are HUGE and maybe hide your FuBar on the top until mouseover and make the bar itself transparent.

Just some suggestions, I'm a fan of less is more when it needs to be, but I suppose it's a matter of taste.

yes, thats what i mean.

Good idea, but some things make my eyes bleed

For example group 8 of your raid sitting there out of place, Recount sticking out of your bottom frame, raid display being partially over raidframe, etc.

I'm one of those OCD people though :P

Riva94 · 01-05-09, 03:46 PM

Lol, I'm going to go fix it up now. Thanks guys. When omen is not being displayed and when recount is not being displayed that leaves a lot of empty room in the bottom left... do you think that i should move recount/ omen to a new part of the screen and put Hitsmode (or a combat log) down there?

It's nice to have multiple chat windows, one for general chatter, party, raid, etc. and another for loot, combat, defense or things like that. I was just suggesting things that I would do with it if I were to have downloaded it in that current state, however you may wish to just resize and adjust the frames to fit within the area to take up any space and forgo the extra chat window. As it's your UI it's completely up to you...that's the beauty of it.

Don't take our suggestions as demands, we've made, used or are making our own to suit our preferences and needs. I'm sure should you decide to share your final creation that those who download it will tweak and play with things until they're satisfied as well. A cleaner interface never hurts, but don't let anyone shape your vision for you. Take all the suggestions, advice or "help" with a grain of salt and do what you want to do with your UI.

Riva94 · 01-05-09, 09:21 PM

Ive followed most of your ideas, not because they were demands but because i found that they were good ideas and that I agreed with them. Getting "help", as you say, like this is nice because it gives me a second opinion.

"Would you like a second opinion? You are also ugly!"
Man I love that tf2 quote, and whenever I read or hear second opinion I think of it

Anyway, I agree that simply hiding Omen and Recount would leave a big gap there on the bottom of your screen.
One way to deal with that is, as mentioned before, have an extra chatframe (highly recommended actually, especially if you have a talkative guild, that extra frame can be used to separate party/raid chat from guild chat ^_^)

Another way would be to resize things a bit and move 'em around to fill that gap.

Anyway, that issue aside, I like the changes you made, it looks a lot cleaner now that it's aligned nicely (this is the first thing I look at, as I said before, non-aligned things make my eyes bleed :P) I also like the new size of the raidframes, it's just perfect

Also a question .. do you raid or mainly pvp? Can be helpful when giving advice and stuff :]

Riva94 · 01-06-09, 03:35 PM

Ok, everything is updated and i think it looks a lot better than before! I mainly raid. I did not enjoy BC pvp but it seems like blizzard has made it more interesting and rewarding so in the future i may do more of that but for the moment i spend my time raiding. I have Hitsmode which i sometimes watch during fights so in the future i may use eepanels or something and create an area for a combat log window.
