I got a new UI last night because there are some things that I have seen on the UI of the Week on WoWinsider that I really like, but I have no idea what they are. That’s when my natural instinct kicked in: work smarter, not harder. I went to Curse Gaming and found the UI I was looking for as a compilation called All Deuce UI. Here is the UI as I had it when it loaded up last night. I took a shot of it this morning, but it’s not appearing on the server. I’ll do a side-by-side view for you tomorrow, as I moved the bars around and got rid of the 3D portraits.
ADUI is an all-Ace UI that is soooo easy to update with the Ace Updater, it’s not even funny. Run the updater as soon as you download it, because nearly everything had an update, but that’s all right, right? It’s Ace!
What I most loved about the set up is that you actually copy over an entire WTF folder based on your resolution, so there is no moving things around. It comes with a default setup that kicks right off the bat! I had to add Auctioneer and Fu-Experience (I couldn’t check my /played because of some chat plug-in blocking the text and Fu-XP doesn’t show time played). There were some things that I was frantically trying to move, adjust, enable/disable stuff while I tried siccing my cat on stuff so I still made some progress.
The list of addons is extensive, I mean like 30-40 addons, but it’s only a 30MB cache file when loaded. Many could do without a number of the addons, such as sounds for chat, the 3D portraits (I turned that off and use the UF’s 3D portraits), and the IM-style individual chat windows. There is a LOT to play with, and I’ve got it so it’s not being a distraction any more, and I would venture to say that it is helping me play faster and smarter. Now if only I could stop accidently targeting Rare Elites 1-4 levels above me without realizing my danger…
Here is the full list of Addons that come with it. I obviously disabled Raid stuff and places that my lowbie isn’t going any time soon. My newly-found favorites that I didn’t know about before this are bolded.

Very Nice I was actually just on curse this evening and saw that exact ui I am getting upset with not being able to figure out bongos for my warrior so I was looking for a ui that would just rplace everything I have.
Just wait until you see how it looks now! Much nicer, IMHO.
Keep a backup of your WTF and Addon folders. I had to drag old Addons over that I noticed were both missing and greatly missed.
It’s got a bit of a learning curve to get all of that stuff situated when you’re unfamiliar with how things will interact, but it’s definitely powerful.
Its nice you know though I had the cycircled and not all of the bars were circles do you have that problem. it was annoying enough to get rid of it.
wow……….does ur monitor have to be big so that it wouldnt look cluttered on a laptop? o.0!
I’m not sure, there, Ex. I have a bulky 22″ Trinitron for now. I could put it up on my 17″ tonight and check it out for you. My laptop is so far outdated with patches (since February), I don’t know how much time it would take to get it all going on that beast.
How is track going?
Yeah i have a 19 inch and everything still looks cluttered.
I moved the UF stuff all the way to the gradient and moved the sidebars down into the gradient. Basically, I’m not paying attention to stuff below that line, so my view is pretty clear now. If you want to hang tight for a while longer, I’ll get my new arrangement up for you tonight or this time tomorrow.
Duude what a coincidence, last night I totally redid my UI too. There are a couple things on here like QuestFu, I need a new quest tracker system, and Prat that I’m gonna take a look at when I get home tonight.
I’ll probably post my new setup over on The Barracks whenever I get it finalized if you want to check it out.
Suuure thing. I’ve got more tweaking to do to be totally happy, but I can do that as I kill, kill, kill. The best time to do it is when flying or running in long, straight lines, but aggroing with menus open sucks. 🙂
Am I correct in understanding that Fubar and the various fu’s are akin to Titan Panel and its’ extensions?
