Configuring a new ui

[Epsynus]

Hello i have a question for you all people on WowInterface.

Is there a way to have like a "screenshot" of a blank UI (basically like you have done ALT-Z) and then put AddOns inside that "screenshot" and move them around so you can look how the UI would look like ingame. But without being ingame?

sorry if the title & explanation is a bit odd :S

thanks for any help i can get

oh right sorry if there is a topic just like this. could find it though

You can of course create a conceptual screenshot, but that would require knowing exactly how something is going to appear in the first place. There is nothing that will allow you to copy what an addon might look like into an image editor.

Your best bet would be to take one screenshot with your interface turned off, then one with all addons showing. Then you can simply crop the addons and throw them onto the other screenshot, arranging them as you wish. It's not perfect, but it can give you an idea of how the concept will look.

Sorry to sound rude, but would it not be a lot easier to just arrange them how you want in-game? You could quite easily use a Reflux profile to save how everything was beforehand.

Yeah, I'm just downloading/modifying all the addons I will need to make my new UI for when I hit 80, soon after the EU servers come back online.
