ncUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1a
by: nightcracker [More]


ncUI is an extreme light-weight user interface with a nice minimalistic look. This UI has less than 350 kB memory usage! I'm in love with this UI, and I hope you will fall in love with it too. Almost all config(which is currently nearly none) is found in the .lua files. Open them with Notepad and start editing! Warning: if you edit the wrong parts it will break the UI.

How to install:
Rename (if existent) your "Interface" and "Fonts" folders to "Interface_backup" and "Fonts_backup". Extract the Interface and Fonts folders to the folder which contains WoW.exe(default is "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\"). On first login you will be prompted to auto-install, click yes and ur done!

Usage:
Once installed, when you enter the game the UI will auto-configure. Then your ready to begin!
The navigation in ncUI is a little bit different than in the default UI. To bind use /hb and you can bind your actionbars, spells in the spellbook and macros.
Rightclick on the minimap is for tracking.
To get 25 extra actionbutton, open the default keybindings frame(Escape > Bindings), scroll all the way down and bind something to "Extra Buttons". If you now press and HOLD the keybinding, 25 extra buttons will become visible under your mouse.

Config is in the lua file "config.lua" found in the ncUI addon folder. The settings are well commented and easy to edit.

Upcoming features/todo list:
- Gametooltip quest info
- Clock and guild to ncDatatext
- My own unitframes
- Rewrite of CoolLine to ncCooldownline
- Totem bar
Suggest features! My todo list that constantly updates can be found here.

i cant find the code in the config.lua or the unitframe.lua file.
It's in the unitframe lua file, CTRL+F for "castbar" and watch out for every "SetPoint" you find.

	["fontsize"] = 7,
	["tags"] = "THINOUTLINE",
	["texture"] = ncUIdb["media"].unitframe,
and to amend my other post. the chat box's are way to tiny. Should add option to make scaling the panels easier so people can adjust chat distance to line up better maybe
yeah i saw it, but i was talking about is there something similar for the player [target / target's target / ...] frames?, thx for ur reply!!

quick question, Ive looked into the merchant.lua... Is there anyway we can get it to use guildrepair money first then ours ? No use burning my gold when gbank gives us 200g a day.

Some handy features to the main config file:
Global font size(datatxt/buff timer)
independant scale for debuff/buffs

Helpful for those of us with poor eyes

I tried to pry some of the files .lua, but unfortunately found nothing.
At this Screenshot I do not use any other addons except ncUI.
Hmm, can't reproduce.

Hello, first I apologize for my bad English.
I would like to know if i can set anywhere that a tooltip appears whenever i mouse over a group member, so i can see where he currently is.
I also wanted to ask how many members are displayed in a raid and if i am able to influence that.


Does anyone knew a treaht and damage meter matches the ncUI? So one that looks similar and consumes as little memory.

Chat Background / Visibility

It's an awesome UI you came up with!

There's just one thing, that bothers me: Having to play on a Notebook (with a small screen) in the Moment, I am having a hard time reading the chat and some of the UI-texts. That leads to the following question which I couldn't figure out myself:

- Is there a way to enable a background in the chat window(s)? Or at least a way to increase the font-size?

- I did find an option to change the font-size of the nameplates. Is there something similar for the player [target / target's target / ...] frames?

Thanks for building and sharing an awesome ui!


edit: In addition to the above - is there some kind of Aggro-Indicator included in the Nameplates?

I use the 25 button one that shows up on the mouse for non essential things, but I need more than 12 buttons in combat, especially in PvP.

When I go to the Blizzard interface options menu, clicking and un-clicking action-bars makes some weird things happen, but doesn't give me more buttons.

Currently I have to shift+arrow down (or up) to get to the other bars.

Thanks in advance if you can help out
