Mela's UI
This is a
a simple write up of my interface and the plugins I use. This
is a very simple UI, many others in the WoW community have put much
more time in to their UIs, and thus have really beautiful displays.
Using what was out there I went for a simple overhaul, no art at all.
This is just a
simple functional lay out that caters to my needs.
You can view the list of AddOns I use via the available PDF
file here.
If you want to keep your own list you can download the list
of AddOns I use here (SHA1SUM

Please be aware, I use a functional client side wiki to keep
my addon
notes,
your browser will complain about active content or script functions
when you open it. Its based on TiddlyWiki if you
want to check out the legitimacy of it.
I've
also been asked about the script that I use to backup my UI to
carry with me. Information and downloads of my backup script can
be found here.
This
is a screen showing a channeled spell, it gives a decent introduction
to the UI.
The button bars size and location is handled by Bartender3. Their
shape and effects are handled by cyCircled.
The cool downs displaying on the buttons is CoolDownCount.
The casting bar is eCastingBar.
The target frames, including ToT and ToTT is ag_UnitFrames.
The gradient background below the rendered frame is by Skinner, Skinner also
allowed me to move my rendered area (or playable area) up, leaving a
section at the bottom just for plugins.
The minimap shape, size, and layout is simpleminimap.
My information panel at the top of the screen is FuBar and a
bunch of Fu plugins.
This
is a simple shot of my mule at the bank. OneBag is
responsible for my character's inventory, and OneBank is
responsible for the bank's layout.
This
screen is a battle sequence so you can see the UI in action.
On the right of my character you can see Natur's EnemyCastBar
showing the time left on stunning and bleeding effects. On the left of
my character you can see CooldownTimers2
counting down my abilities remaining cool downs. You can also see my
buffs and debuffs have been replaced by bars, this is handled by EelkBuffBar.
My damage meter is SW_Stats,
my combat log is by SimpleCombatLog.
The scrolling combat text is of course by Scrolling Combat Text,
while I haven't done much with it yet, it supports a lot more options
and is infinitely more customizable than the Blizz built in one.
Changing the size, speed, font, etc is just the start.
This is a screen of
a group, you can see SmartDebuff
has paged out for the group. You can also see the ag_UnitFrames
group frames. I've also selected the priest as my focus as
I'm
about to tank, the priest shows in the center of the screen above the
button bars, directly below the cast bar. TellCatcher is also
minimized, and showing that I've got a new message. You can also see my
mail indicator FuMail
is showing 13 waiting messages.
Hope this
helps explain a little what I'm doing when I'm playing with
my plugins all the time, and maybe helps you get a better gaming
experience if you're here to learn what people are using.
