Recently I've been worrying a little more about my UI. I'm constantly getting new combat-related mods and/or changing mods around, and I'm never too happy with it. It seems like whatever I do, I can't develop the perfect UI.

I prefer things to be neat. I hate UIs that look messy, and I'd rather play with the default UI than a lot of the messy or mix-matched UIs I've seen (I prefer everything to have the same style of art as well). But even after doing the best I can to create a neat UI, I find myself on mod sites or these forums looking for ideas and new mods.

Well, it's obvious I'm in a creative slump. I can't seem to get any ideas to build my ideal UI, and it's irritating me. So I'd like help.

Can anyone post screenshots or give me some ideas? I want a UI that's out of the way of my combat view almost completely, yet neat and intuitive. I'd like the artwork to match and to be fairly aesthetically pleasing. And I'd prefer to stick with Ace2 mods (please don't question that), but you can post anything, really.

Thanks.

heres an idea that may help u, istead of trying for hte neat and tidy how about for a change of pace you try and make a UI thats totaly "bling" u know all the latest features and looks totaly awsome, altho with such a UI it will be memory hungry :)

JaedxRapture: Check out the User Interfaces over at Discord: www.discordmods.com. There are a lot of cool ideas over there that may help. ^_^

IMO you can never get perfect. Your always going to be building on what you thought was good five minutes ago. Download what you think is going to be useful and fix and match from there.

Nah, I've got something I'm pretty happy with now. It still keeps the same general layout as the Blizz interface, but I've made a lot of changes.
