Many thanks!

Many you're welcomes!

So, what do people think of my UI? Please comment on it and whatnot.

Edit: Heh, speaking of rushed screenshots.

Peachy-fresh!

Edit again: Wow, ether Imageshack doesn't like JPGs at all, or WoW saves them as pretty low-quality JPGs. I'd bet it's the latter. Well, it's 0:08 and I am in no mood to make a screenshot of higher quality.

i like the minimalism, id like to see a party/raid shot.
what is the purple frame under the minimap? :>

Wella · 05-25-10, 09:33 AM

Thanks! I'll probably add a combat & BG screenie soon.

That purple frame is my XP. Kinda hard to see due to the contrast with the white, but I'm not sure how to change the colour (Dominos).

i really dont like the white borders, try black [:

Trust me mate, I've made a million UIs in the past, so I know the difference between white and black borders. I know what you're saying, but it's my personal preference after extensive testing.

Thanks for the input!

You want a good xpbar, use XPBarNone

Wella · 05-26-10, 03:29 PM

Actually, I'm happy with Dominos' one for now, nothing particularly wrong with it other than the colour, which ain't a big deal. I had considered XPBarNone already, might end up using it anyway. Edit: I've also just found a way to change the colours via the Lua file, so it's all good.

Haven't posted here in a while. Mainly because I haven't been going anywhere with my UI lately. Just trying stuff here and there. However this time I think I've got a keeper (well, until cata hits and I'll have to start over anyways).

Valandris · 05-26-10, 10:25 PM

Here's mine. First introduced it in an earlier form last week, and I've been building on it since. I'll probably tweak more as I go, but this is what I got atm. BTW the HEREMOD UI and horde symbols aren't just for show, they're the panels behind my party/10man raid frames (I plan to work on implementing 25man frames at some point)

I am open to constructive criticism/suggestions (even though I realize my UI is to epitomize what I like which is a focus on the important elements being center-screen)

Also, the buff rames to the left of my focus frames are for when I'm tanking, as I have a clique mouse bind for applying vigilance and making that person my focus so I can track vigilance (in order to get rid of the need for a tracker addon) Oh yes and the wide panel on my stances are to accomodate my pally's auras.

Wella · 05-27-10, 02:33 AM

The first thing I see is eye-bleeding red glow. If I attempt to look past that, I can see a really quite sleek UI, with a definite sci-fi feel to it with those glossy textures and, of course, that font. But then I see all that red again and I start doubting.

Seriously, completely remove all the red panels or, if you must have them, replace them with grey. Some of them aren't needed anyway, such as the panels above and to the left of the minimap, or the one with the UI's name on it. Tip: never put the name of your UI on the UI itself.

Valandris · 05-27-10, 08:17 AM

were you talking just about the background of the panels or the borders too? I kinda like the red borders.

atomicrat2552 · 05-27-10, 09:46 AM

Hi there! So I recently build a new UI, and was wondering if you guys could give me your take/opinions on it. I noticed some issues with sizing on the panels, which have been fixed, just are not in these screenies.

Any constructive criticism is welcomed =]

Valandris · 05-27-10, 10:29 AM

Your font (save for scrolling text) strains my eyes, if you're dpsing, you don't need to see a healing meter, and if healing, need to see NEITHER the dps NOR the threat meter (threat especially as your tank should be able to hold aggro off you if you're healing). Finally, you can use an addon like minimap button frame and take all the cluttering minimap buttons and organize them like I did with my UI.

Thanks for your response =] .The font really is hard for you to read? That's weird, it's nice and clear on my monitor, but meh. As for the meters, I move between healing and DPSing on my pally and DPSing on my DK, who will soon be tanking, so rather than making profiles for all my toons, I just made one that will work for them all. As for MBF, I had it installed after I took the screencaps, so it isn't shown there. Again, though, thanks for the critique =]

Raid and Idle(solo)

Player, action bars and Target frames appear when targeting something or when in combat. The left screenshot is a bit newer, I made some changes to the panels and couldn't be bothered with uploading a new screenshot. The only visible changes are the panel gradients and colours.

I'm still doing the final touches and some criticism would be nice.

I might upload it here when it's done and I've cleaned up my interface folder.

You really don't need three Skada windows (at least I'm guessing it's Skada... your images are tiny so it's hard to tell). Two profiles will work.. one for dps and one for heals. (Threat meter in the first one, dps or heal in the second). You will save yourself some screen real-estate this way. It's always a wise decision to have a threat meter in view regardless of your class... good choice there!
