Request: ShadowUI Minimalist

Details on the UI

Hello, I am a fan of minimalist UI's, and I came across these pictures from the WoW forums. Unfortunately, the user who posted the pictures has quit or is inactive, so I could not request this UI from them. I created an original thread above on the WoW forums for this UI, except I am having difficulty creating it with my lack of knowledge of WoW itself(I'm new to the game), and especially more lack of knowledge of how UI's work. Some users have posted tips and help on how I can create this UI, but I am still having extreme difficulty replicating it, and decided to come here to ask for professional advice.

Requested Screen Resolution:
1366x768 (This is the resolution I have on my laptop)

I was also wondering if the center box of the UI(in the pictures) could be lowered a little more. This is preferred however not necessary.
I can also provide details on which addons I use in my next post if needed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!


P.S. Someone stated that the font used is found here.


Pictures:
"Combat"
"Basic"
"Casting"
"Etc."

These are the addons I currently use. Since I am new, I do appreciate recommendations for other addons and/or replacements to existing ones that I am using. (Such as using GBoT[Bag of Tricks] instead of Minimalist)

I do use some of these ingame, and turn off most of them with the ACP(addon control panel) when I am not using them.

To be honest I think you're best off using oUF to try and recreate the unitframes, although that might take a while of learning.

To replace addons, here's a few:

ArkInventory -> Stuffing
CastingBarTimer -> You can do this in oUF
Friend Color -> yClassColor (applies to more frames, it's neat)
Omen -> sThreatMeter2 (do a google search for this)
Outfitter -> Default blizzard equipment manager? Works fine for me.
RatingBuster -> Do you need this? Personal preference ofc.
Recount -> TinyDPS, but if you use it for a detailed spell breakdown then stick with Recount.
SimplePercent -> You can do this in oUF
TinyPad -> Try using the default Windows/Mac notepad
Titan Panel -> LynStats
VisualHeal -> oUF_HealComm
WhereToNow -> Ask friends!
xcalc -> Use the default computer calc

Generally you really have a lot of addons. If you like minimalism, then you should always ask yourself "Do I really need this? Is it really bothersome if I don't have this?" Only if the answer is yes to those questions, get it, otherwise don't. Less is more.

Hope I helped a little.

xcalc: /dump 5 * 6, /dump 8 / 16 etc. No need for a calculator

OT: I'd really try find the graphic textures before remaking this ui

The originals should be lurking in a media pack somewhere on this site. If not I can try and get a hold of the original artist as I have copies kicking around.

EDIT:

In fact take a peek in this DL and look in the folder for Gideon's shadow files.

The art in the above UI are modified bits of shadow ui.

Alright, I tried and failed... and I still couldn't do it. The truth is even more clear that I do not know what I am doing at all. I have no experience with making my own UI... so I think I will resort to asking once again, can someone make this UI for me?
