That it would be. I got mine from the same place. Can't use any UI without it anymore.

Well it's not a freefont. To bad.

Just finishing up my unit frames and I'm not really sure where to put the pet frame. Because of the design & layout it's really hard to fit another frame in. Thinking of maybe just merging it into the player frame but thinking that might overcomplicate it. Had to 'shop some parts of the UFs into the picture below as I couldn't get them all to show at once. Any suggestions for the pet frame placement?

Castbar icons are a must. You know why.

Myriad Condensed Web (AKA "ABF"), Expressway, an PT Sans Narrow Bold are some of my favs for WoW.

http://www.google.com/webfonts/ is worth a peek.

Even though knowing how to read means we just read things without really thinking about it, it's the same reason that STOP signs are all the same: a bright red octagon. Red is a warning color, and the octagon is unique to the STOP sign (in America at least). It's mentally faster to process a color or a shape instead of reading something.

Regarding WoW, it's not as important to have them in your own cast bar, as it is on the target. You need to be able to quickly see casts that need interrupting in the heat of battle (or very bad non-interruptible casts), and icons are the best for that.

I like the textures you use btw. However, you don't think all of that stuff is too cluttered at the bottom of your screen? Or is your main focus to show detailed UFs while still preserving screen real estate?


I will add though, I have a shaman also and I find it really irritating that 3 of the heals all have the same icon with just a slight color variation -_-.

That's a good point, I never really thought about it that way... which is suprising for me as I'm a raider and I like anything that improves my reaction time. In fact thinking about it, it'll probably help immediately on Twilight Council when I have to interrupt Harden Skin, as I find I keep interrupting the other ability that boss does due to not having time to read the text. Thanks!

Aye, that is one of the main reasons. I don't PvP at all, just raid, so screen space is extremely important to me, as is the ability to look at one section of the UI that is close to my character and get all the information I need. The texture is by zork, I used to use his Diablo layout over a year back and loved the texture so much that I use it for all my personal-only addons.

The layouts of the UI different for my characters though since I don't raid on all of them, only my Shaman has close knit UF's like that, and since I have profiling in my oUF layout I can have them positioned and styled differently for each character.

I will add though, I have a shaman also and I find it really irritating that 3 of the heals all have the same icon with just a slight color variation -_-.

Yeah this is highly annoying, in fact I might add some custom textures for the 3 heals that share the icons to help differentiate them better at some point. It's the same for the "Call of the ..." and weapon imbues, I can imagine color blind people having issues with those abilities due them all being the same texture and only a color seperates them.

Thank you for your input!

It's somewhere in Stuf's castbar options. Player -> castbar -> and I think you have to set the opacity of some color to 0% here.

Fixed Combat Text ;> looks super awsome, chould not be happier.

What do you think?

[Dawn]

I think you shouldn't really use blizzards default combat text.
It's to big, to spammy, impossible to customize (positions, etc). xCT is fine for all of that.

I second that. That being said, looking at the UI as a whole, the combat text fits~

The position, possibly. It's way to big, though.
