Searching for new UI or Add-ons, and need help with Photek. Give some ideas

[wolfe89]

Hey I'm lookin to find some new add-ons or UIs fr WOW, so any suggestions on what to do. If not I am also looking for help setting up my UI Photek. It's confusing and im not able to get on much to fool around with it. Give me some suggestions on new UIs or help out with Photek. TY

Photek is fully costumizable... there is no part of it that cant be modified. What particular part you cant customize?

Photek UI has the basic addons which gives you the UI style, but you still need very important addons:

Cooldown bars for pvp, I suggest ClassTimer and Natur EnemyCastbar.
A good raid UI: OzRaid, or Perfect Raid, or the most used Grid.
Raid alerts and boss timers: oRA2 and DeadlyBossMod
Threat meter to check the amount of your threat: Omen or KLHThreatMeter

I wouldn't say you "need" them I live quite happily without.

yes, but if we don't consider the pvp bars, the others addons are often mandatory for many guilds.

The OP never even mentioned that they were raiding.

The OP said he was searching new addons, having Photek. The addons I suggested are also useful with 5 men groups. For example if you are a mage and your group is killing an Elite miniboss, a threat meter can be useful, I've also suggested something for pvp.

The next time someone ask for addons I will say: "there is nothing more useful than Photek addons"

Don't worry I think that your suggestion is a very valid one and you have given your opinion. Mind you I agree with your choices lol. Do you use Classtimers and NECB together or seperately?

I use them together, but only in pvp

Ok well ty for the suggestions on the add-ons, because I was thinking bout those as well.

But since I had no arguments on a different interface, I am guessing that Photek is good. I haven't had much time to explore it so I'm not able to really ask for what I need to be configured,so as soon as I can (prolly Friday) I will ask for help, but if possible, can I get some basic knowlege about it. I know it's a very broad question, but it will help (BTW Ima newb at this kinda stuff).

And thank you for the add-on suggestions.

Ok well i gt payed so I gt on real quick and now i gt some questions. First of all, it doesnt fit to my screen correctly. It seems like Im missing some things on the sides but theirs a blank bar at the top. I think the bottom is not showing.

And also, when I load the game, there is a warning saying that ________ is loaded but the skin was not found in the SkinMe directory or something along those lines (there are several of the same messages)

Now remember, I am a newb at this. I play WOW I don't everything.

Write down what is missing then go to your AddOns/Skinner/AddonSkins folder and copy those skins to AddOns/Skinner/SkinMe folder.

Ok well I know I/'m being impatient but i dnt want to have to go through all the stuff for Photek, so if anyone can tell me the interphase they are using or any add-ons they have, it would be helpful.
