Screen Shots of your UI... - Page 177

Currently trying to gather ideas for a ring ui. Based on circluar unitframes and a circlular minimap. But it's kind of hard to make it look "shiny" in a rectangular environment. You have to blend a lot of stuff with rounded textures.

Not even sure how to add strings to that. Some stuff can be put into the tooltip but ... yeah.

Meh, new UI again. Simple design tho.

idle with bags + actionbars on mouseover. Pet bar shows when pet is out ofcourse

Still finding a good way for party frames and placement.

New bar skin too. Not all that different, nearly identical to the normal one (LeiB.tga) except for the arced secondary gradient. Personally like the extra bit of flair it adds to that region, since my UI as a whole is very rectangular.

If you will post a download link to that you will be my god!

I would remove the background panels, don't think they are needed. The rings are awesome and standing out on their own.

I would show text information on mouseover. Bars are a good indicator on their own, if you need details, ... mouseover the unit. If anything show only Percent values for power and health without mouseover.

I would use a custom filter to only show important buffs/debuffs in a row or column next to the unit. I wouldn't make them go AROUND the unit, to much "roundiness" can become boring, imho.

What goes around the minimap? experience/reputation?

I would show the cast icon overlaying the portrait while casting.

Not sure what all the rings are for, but maybe get rid of some of the outer ones, to much borders shown at once can be quite distracting for the eye. Asuming these are allways shown. Maybe the most outer ring is the castbar and only shows when you cast... etc. Can't tell from the screenshot.

Anyway, I like it ... a lot! Bring it on, if you need help (guess not, but hey...), just tell me.

Easier for me to understand with a more normal placement :P I like it, however I find it hard to read the chat without OutlineMonochrome. And are the portraits really needed for party frames?

Not really no, was just experimenting a bit with it. I don't really know what to do with party frames tbh.

And the chat, well yeah you're right, it depends a bit on the background you are. Might see if I can change it in PhanxChat. outline|monochrome like my UF's would be better. Same goes for SBF and sThreatMeter tho, I'm just clueless at lua.

ChatFrame1:SetFont(font, fontsize, "OUTLINEMONOCHROME")

Cheers, was easier then I expected actually. Added an extra line to 'remove' the shadow you normally get tho.

is the result. Thanks again. PM me if you know how to do the same with sThreatMeter2 and SBF! ^^

sacrife · 09-13-10, 11:59 AM

Actually what I do is use a font addon which replaces all blizz fonts ingame with the fonts and setting of my choosing, and thus I only need to search for SetFont in the addons I have and replace with SetFontObject(), GameFontNormalSmall, etc etc.

Just search for SetFont in those addons, and edit the fonts used, if it's setFontObject just make it SetFont with the same settings as in chat, and with shadowoffset 0,0 as you said

*edit* I recommend nBuff from neav's ui, or I can send you my pixel modified version

Just don't release it as it's modified for personal use only. (Someone correct me here if this is wrong and I wont send the file)

Just finished some layout touching up.. Comments welcome as always=)

***Yes I am aware the chat is different, but I dont have perfect sight, and its just easier for me to read with a standard font..**

Does this offer only apply to Led?

Led ++ · 09-14-10, 02:10 AM

I don't need nBuff btw since I use SBF's option to make custom bars with filters etc. Can't live without it.

Got the monochrome thingy working on sThreatMeter and AzCastBar too now.

I really like it. Especially the colors.

Thanks for the insight on Outline, Monochrome.

I had suggested this for sThreatMeter2 back in 2009 but it still remains out of the addon's scope.

EDIT:

I've got Outline, Monochrome to apply as a setting in sThreatMeter2, however I am unable to name the drop-down entry correctly. Entries like "Outline monochrome" in the .lua instead display as "Error..." in the drop-down menu. I've tried several variations without success - can anyone advise the correct value/name?

Code snippit (applied around line 402)

Code:

table.insert(dropdownlist, { update = frame, text =  L("outlinemonochrome"), func = function() sThreatMeter_Data.Font[3] = "OUTLINEMONOCHROME" end });
        if ( sThreatMeter_Data.Font[3] == "OUTLINEMONOCHROME" ) then dropdownlist[#dropdownlist].checked = true end;

feraldrood · 09-14-10, 01:36 PM

like led, I too use phanxchat but haven't figured out where to put the one liner about monochrome and outline, as well as led's edit to normal font shadowing.
(also i seem to remember someone saying one can change the vertical spacing between lines in chat?)

For the sake of crowd accelerated innovation in the user interface community, could one or both of you show me how to do that? thanks

and sacrifice, using an overall blizzard font changer is elegantly simple! but which addon is that? I'd love to use it

great job on the last incarnation of your ui led! i love the colors

and for posterity; here is an ooc shot of mine

text shown on mouseover but pretty basic and plain
