The evolution of my UI.

[nosoup4crr]

I thought, just for fun, I'd rehash the "well that's cool looking's" and the "oh my god, why's" that resulted from my experiments with my UI.

This was my first experiment...very simple...nearly a year ago on my level 60 main, a little before the BC release. As you can see, it entailed the use of Bongos, some FuBar plugins and a hud.

Next, we move onto Pravus. This really involved many of the same mod's, only more refined. Notice the big buttons, meant for clicking.

Here we have old school diabolus. I found new, sleeker action buttons (arranged in a kind of video game controller configuration), a map mod, scrollingcombattext, and more importantly, new unit frames (ag_unitframes).

Well, hello, giant black panel at the bottom of my screen and tinytip.

Enter Xperl Unit frames, arkinventory, simpleminimap's unlock map function, and a rehashed structural system for unit/raid frames. Notice meager number of action buttons.

Ah...the peak of my UI experience. It's actually kind of sad, because I had to do absolutely nothing for it. MazzleUI, ya'll. It's full of bugs since 2.2, though...it was a sad day when I had to move away from it. Notice the complete removal of action buttons.

And lastly, we're at my current setup, with the new use of EEP2, and pitbull unit frames.

When it saw me coming, it instinctually tried to hide.

The last on is amazing, could you please tell me what mods you are using?

The last on is amazing, could you please tell me what mods you are using?

eepanels2 for the boxes at the bottom, pitbull unit frames, simpleminimap, prat, cooldowntimers2, and a host of fubar plugins.. I'm also using damage meters and omen in 2 of the bottom boxes. I would also suggest quartz for a cool lookin' cast bar.

Is EEpanels something you use instead of Bartender for example? Or with it..

[Tunga]

Together, eePanels just lets you create textured areas to place other mods on (or near or whatever). It's generally used to make things look nice or to provide a clean background to read test on. There's a great sticky guide to getting it working at the top pf the forum.

[Tunga]
