Yeah, it's Chinchilla's default "Square" layout with no borders. The only thing up there that's part of the minimap, tho', is the coordinates - the tracking icon is Vertibroker_Tracking that I placed over the corner (I like pMinimap, but Chinchilla includes movers and blipchangers, so I use it ).

Also another thing I would do is make that dominos experience bar have the same bubbly effect. Though to do that you would have to make a new texture, because if you used that same texture it would go all strechy.
Most of the bubbly effect is just a texture - I'm using one of Ferous' textures (Ferous 32, I think) for all those bars. I hadn't even thought about matching the XP bar texture to it. And I'm not certain that ACB's latency indicator can alter shape - I'll have to look into how ACB does the latency. Also, I got the border from a website that doesn't seem to exist anymore - it's called "dek_retro_round" or something like that.

Also, for those who were curious - I liked the "manabar-in-the-border" concept, but I'm too lazy to do it the 'right' way. So I just placed the mana bar, and then placed the health bar on top of it. ;-)

Alright, after criticism I changed the font :O It is called Puritan, a free version that looks like Helvetica.

Full shot!

That font looks pretty good! It gives me the "caith inner shadow"-feeling(that inner shadow on caith's unitframes that I LOVE).

Font is a lot better. I noticed you're using Cascade. Were you able to figure out how to make the text fade after a certain amount of time?

Also, gz on the hilt!

tis look alright like everyone else says, but being a super nitpicky person, there are some things that bother me :<

the shadow thing should be behind all elements, not on top. the buff text, the action abrs and everything looks a tad DARK
the shadow inside the chat/minimap/whatever boxes is kinda stretched, it should be another texture using 256x512 so it wont look stretched.

AND one mroe thing, you should make the health/mana texts be white and gray, so you can make them out easier.

just my 2 cents (I hate it when people say that but thats what it is!)

ps. it doesnt look bad its just things that bother me!

It took me a very long time to realize it was even possible to do with Dominos, but when you are editing the XP bar you can just click the dropdown menu that is on 'layout' normally. It's kinda genius!

Mana bar in the border is a good look, nice.

I was lazy and just made my overlay texture over the chat boxes. I will do that, and fix it up :O

I will do everything you said, I like to see my mana more, so I probably would do this. I like to have the HP and Power, the power and HP threshold colors but it looks tacky, but alot of people like to see HP threshold instead, I will look into this.

You could use Skada instead of Recount (I hear the reports are more accurate?), and then edit the color scheme to it the rest of your UI. Skada also replaces Omen.

Less banana. Too much potassium is a bad thing.

Actually, that's a bunch of LDB launchers. I use Fortress for my LDB display, and those are all the "launchers" (except for Mail, Calendar, and Bugsack, which are on top of the minimap). The "Micromenu" and "GameMenu" texts are also LDB - LonnyBroker: Micromenu and LonnyBroker: GameMenu - they give dropdowns for the actual menus they replace.

Find a unifying font, statusbar texture and border for your entire UI. Scale down the recount and make the background and title bar colors transparent. Move that little bar with your main buttons down a bit, it's overlapping your character.

Personally I hate Xperl, try using Pitbull or Stuf, or even oUF and make it more minimal (i.e. get rid of the portrait, name, level/race/class info etc.). CoolLine could be scaled down a bit. Make your chat font smaller and get rid of timestamps. You don't really need to see buffs on your tooltip do you? And maybe make the entire top bar only show on mouseover.

I have the sneaking suspicion your scrolling combat text also overlaps elements of your UI, maybe look into that as well.

skada is ok, i tryed it as omen replacement. But there is no option for calculating the threat of you focus target like omen can. So far, as healer i love this option. In the skada-thread on wowace, there is no one missing it and noone, who can answer this question :-)

player/target gradient is 1px off at the bottom :<

I liked the old texture better though, since youre using your mana bar right there the texture doesnt... fill its purpose?
