ZiUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.0
by: Ziara [More]




Took a break from WoW for a bit, so I'm very behind on this. But I'm back!

Updated to function properly in Cataclysm.
Still some work to do, but bear with me. Baby steps. I'll update as I go.

If I missed anything. Shout at me in the comments and I'll try to take care of it as soon as time permits.



This interface was created for a 1650x1050 resolution and due to my limited time, I probably won't make it for other resolutions.
However if anyone feels like doing so instead, don't let me stop you.




Follow these steps:

  1. Back up the folders WTF, Interface and if you have it, Fonts .
  2. Extract the folders within the ZiUI .zip file into your WoW directory.
  3. In the WTF folder, change the following information appriopriately: "AccountName" (not your battle-net email, your actual account name), "RealmName", "CharacterName".
  4. I personally have the video settings bumped up quite high, you might want to change these to what your computer can handle or anything you want, before you log in.
  5. Type in /reflux switch ZiUI (this is case-sensitive, so capitalise this right).
  6. You can copy your old keybindings and macros from your old WTF folder to the new one or simply re-do them.
  7. If any addons after login look out of place, go into it's configuration -> profiles and switch them to "ZiUI", although Reflux should have gotten (nearly) all of them.
  8. Enjoy!

I personally play with my game sound muted. It may happen that I forget to unmute the sound before I upload a new version. So if your sound is off, apologies! Just enable it in the regular sound options.



I needed a change from the previous version of ZiUI and Skullflower has been a great inspiration. So a lot of credit goes to her.

Apart from that, several UI's have inspired me over time.
  • Adamair
  • Benea
  • Caitlyn
  • Real

Thank you!


  • Align -> Grid as help to align things properly.
  • Bindpad -> Incredibly handy (dual-spec supported) keybinding addon. As a heavy-keybinder, I couldn't live without it.
  • Butsu -> Loot frame.
  • ButtonFacade -> Bordering of actionbars/(de)buffs/etc.
  • caelNamePlates -> Nameplates of awesomeness.
  • Chatter -> Speaks for itself. Chat.
  • Chinchilla -> Minimap.
  • Combuctor -> Bags.
  • Deadly Boss Mods -> Raid-timers/etc. I personally solely use its PVP options, such as BG timers.
  • Dominos -> Actionbars.
  • DXE -> Boss mod.
  • Forte -> CD bar and spelltimers.
  • kgPanels -> Creator of panels to customise the UI.
  • Livestock -> You know the whole WG/Dal landing area bug where you can't fly properly? Macros seem to work only temporarily for me. This works like a charm.
  • LoadIt -> Easily enable/disable your addons when inworld.
  • ncError -> Hides those pesky "Out of Range", "Inventory is Full" error messages.
  • Pitbull -> Unit frames.
  • Quartz -> Casting bars.
  • Recount -> Damage meter.
  • Reflux -> Instantly switches every active addon's profile to one of your choice.
  • SatrinaBuffFrame -> Buffs/debuffs.
  • SharedMedia -> Yum, textures, fonts ..yum!
  • tekErr -> Catches errors.
  • TipTac -> Tooltip.
  • VuhDo -> Party/Raid frames. Perfect for any healing class.

Yep, was planning on doing so. I worked on getting it uploadable yesterday, didn't have much time for proper screenshots after that, so will do that later today when I get the chance.

Ah never mind, found the awnser a few posts below. ^^
Heh, yep, I usually keep my chat window locked since I personally don't use the tabs. Apparently many do! I'll try to keep it in mind with my next upload to keep it unlocked to avoid confusions like this.

And thank you!

That's BugSack. I have it disabled, guess it didn't save.

/bugsack
Select "None" in the list by "Sound".

I've noticed this, I'm looking into it, thanks!

Whats the name of Texture ure using in Stuf?
The unit frames are slightly different in the current uploaded version as how you see them on the screenshots, but it should be the same texture if I remember right.
DsmV9C. It's in the SharedMedia folder.

Re: Re: Re: Chat Frame

np at all. I did reclear all my folders to see if it was my error, but I was able to replicate the issue.
Uploading a new version as I'm typing this. Did as you mentioned and tried to replicate it afterwards to be sure it's fixed and it seems to be. If you happen to come across it still after, let me know and I'll look into it some more when I'm properly awake.

Goodnight!

Unless I'm reading this entirely wrong, it has nothing to do with the UI (since you mentioned disabling all addons). It's a setting in WoW itself. Interface -> Social -> Uncheck "Lock Chat Settings" and then hover over your chat window, tabs and everything should appear. I usually have this option checked, so it's locked and I can't accidently move it. I personally don't need the tabs.
Gah, I've been doing my own custom UIs long enough that I feel like an idiot now. That solved the issue, thanks.

Re: Chat Frame

Somehow, since downloading the UI, all of my chat tabs have disapeared. I tried disabling all of the mods to see if i could move the frame without mods active, but the tabs seem to be gone then as well.

Is there a change in your UI that would be doing this? Without the tabs, I am unable to unlock the chat frame to move it to a desireable position.

Another thing to mention for people setting up multiple characters. Reflux currently has the StufDB saved, but not Stuf. This means that if you make a new profile, and then try to load ZiUI that it will revert to the default setup for Stuf frames and the ZiUI setup of Stuf will be lost. When you first make the switch in Reflux do a "/reflux add Stuf." This will add Stuf to the profile and you'll be good to go from there.

Btw, despite the issues, I love the UI.
