I have finally found a UI that I love. The best part about it to me is that it’s my own creation, not a compilation. It has all the extra information that I crave, nothing is going to get in the way of clicking mobs in instances, and I keep guild/party/raid chat separate from system messages. The party portraits are set up to appear between the chat window and player/target portraits, making for VERY easy healing.
Everything you need is right there at the bottom of the screen where all of the action is happening, casting, spell buttons, the map, buffs/debuffs, and chat. It’s quite analogous to the dashboard in a car, which was my plan.
Edit: My biggest gripe about my system now is my framerate in WoW. It’s very poor: 9-12 fps in 1024×768 mode. I really have a hard time getting enough information on the screen at that resolution to boot, so that really makes me happy about this set-up, because everything is readable at 1024×768. I took this shot at 1600×1200, but nothing was going to kill me at the moment. 🙂
The only change I have made to this since the screenshot is that I made the buff area transparent instead of translucent, so it is less obtrusive when there aren’t any buffs filling the window. Here is the list of Addons:
UI-affecting:
- Bongos
- CT Core
- CT BuffMod
- CT MailMod
- EnhTooltip
- Informant
- Titan Panel
- vBagnon
- VisualHeal
- X-Perl
Great addons:
- Auctioneer
- Igor’s Mass Auction
- EnhTooltip
- Informant
- Swatter
Kinless,
I tossed FuBar after numerous errors I was getting. I didn’t want to take the time to figure out which of the many separate tools was causing the error, because I was getting the feeling it was Ace itself.
As soon as I deleted the whole Interface folder and went with current 2.0 files and switched back to Titan, I was happy again.
Do you suppose it’s even slowing my framerate?
