That's perfect. =) I can tell you worked a lot on the UI, and it shows. I think it looks great!

Ugh, several complications recently have forced me to restart my UI. Screenshot on its way soon-ish, I suppose.

Here are a few group shots of my latest UI. The main concept is to keep my action bars, my target frame, and the party/raid frames in the center of the screen for easy access/viewing. This keeps the setup the same whether I'm DPSing, Tanking, or Healing. The rest is all window dressing to give me easy access to info and make it appealing to the eye, so I don't get sick of staring at it. I have to say, I'm rather happy with it as is

Out of combat with target:

In combat, casting:

Another in combat with target casting:

My raid frames are set-up as well, also using Pitbull4 and scale to fit within the area between the action bars and the target frame. Also, DBM timer bar locations are: Small Bars - on the right side of the Forte Timers, Large Bars - on the left side of the Target Frame opposite the Forte Timers.

Constructive criticism and suggestions welcome...I'm always looking for ways to make my UI more efficient/attractive.

(I like the layout overal btw)

That would be ForteXorcist. Personally I wouldn't use it if there were better alternatives, but thats only because I don't really need a Cooldown Timer, which is what ForteXorcist is. It just so happens to have really nice spell timers.

Actually, it's the same texture - they're both Buttonfacade: Svelte. SBF just doesn't handle ButtonFacade properly at the moment. :-( Makes me a sad panda.

Actually, SBF handles ButtonFacade fine, but whenever you make a new frame with SBF, it won't register your current ButtonFacade selection. Just open up ButtonFacade and mess with the Gloss slider, then mess with the Normal colour and SBF will detect it. Or you could probably select another skin, then go back to the skin you want.

It doesn't handle my skin though, properly :P The top is the same color as the bottom, if you look at my skin, its white on top, grey on bottom, but in SBF it doesn't show that.

Here is a shot from ICC 25 (ZOMG I actually am starting to raid a bit again!)



Some stuff out of order, it also doesn't show Minimap atm >.> But normally It does

Ferous - *sigh* I WISH I could come up with a design as simple and sexy as your UI, but I'm an information junkie. It's been hard for me to adjust to having as little information visible as I currently do!

About SBF and BF -

SBF's home page makes a couple of comments about ButtonFacade.

1) Current Known Issues section - "ButtonFacade doesn't work right."
2) Coming in 3.2 section - "Revamp ButtonFacade support."

Doesn't really say what doesn't work right, though.

What Ferous pointed out is that it doesn't handle colors right. SBF is set to not color the borders in my UI, and the exact same BF skin and color scheme is in use on my actionbars and SBF. The Actionbars handle properly - two different shades, because of the texture. The SBF frames don't, it seems to be ignoring part of the BF skin.

Makes me a sad panda, because I _LOVE_ Ferous' Svelte BF skin. :>

Did you disable the "colour icon borders" or whatever it is in SBF's options? Also, love the screenie.

Yeah, border coloring is turned off in SBF, in every location I could find it. It just doesn't handle all the layers of BF skins properly, I think.

People should post more idle shoots of their UI, it's where you can see the most of it. I wonder why some even show the unitframes! *sigh*
