HixxyUI (scales to fit widscreen)

HixxyUI is a light 9MB Download!

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Hello, my name is Ðecide. I have been playing wow since midway through burning crusade. One of my biggest issues playing was having add-ons cluttering up my screen. I wanted to jack up my graphics and enjoy all the shiny things the game had to offer, without sacrificing any useful mods. And so I made HixxyUI. It’s a compilation UI comprised of several commonly used add-ons, arranged in a way that provides as much screen real-estate as possible.

As of 2/13/2012, HixxyUI is bug free, meaning it will not crash or cause any abnormal performance issues.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

A year has passed since I released the first version of HixxyUI, So I decided to update it, removing old add-ons and adding a few new features that I felt were practical in both pvp and pve environments.

By request, I have made HixxyUIv2 Scalable! Unlike the first version, useable only on 1920x1200, this version works from 1440x900 and higher resolutions. Please keep in mind that it will only scale properly with wide screen displays of any resolution. Besides....why should you be using CRT's anyway?

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

I take no credit for any mods that were used in this compilation UI. Any complaints or performance issues with the mods associated with this compilation should be redirected to their respective pages. But as i said, i use this UI myself daily, so i keep it up to date and error/bug free. HixxyUI comes with just the basics. Please feel free to add additional add-ons but note that i have not tested the compilation with any other add-ons except for the ones that come with it by default. I anticipate that most users will have other add-ons that they use, so I have added BugGrabber. This will help silence any errors that might occur, should any conflicts happen when adding your additional add-ons. You can periodically check BugGrabber by clicking on the minimap icon.

I hope you enjoy the updated HixxyUI.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Questions? ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

If you have any questions about the compilation, please share, Comments and criticisms welcomed.
You can also hit me up in game on my toon: Ðecide @ Illidan. The special character in my name is alt+0208 (using the number pad keys and not the keys above your keyboard)

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Setup is a breeze ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Before Setup, Set the UI Scale to the lowest point inside advanced options.

1. Create a folder in the main directory of your warcraft folder titled "uibackup". Now cut (not copy) both the "WTF" and the "Interface" folders into the backup folder. The idea is to have these folders now reside in the uibackup folder and not in the main directory of your warcraft folder.
2. Download HixxyUIv2 and Paste the files (the WTF and Interface folders) from HixxyUIv2.zip into the main directory of your warcraft folder.
3. Go into your WTF/Accounts folder and rename a few folders. This must be done in order for HixxyUIv2 to work.

ACCOUNTNAME = your wow account name
SERVERNAME = your servers name
CHARACTERNAME = your characters name

all done! Now if you want to use HixxyUI on an alt, just copy your main characters folder and paste it as a copy. rename that copy to the name of your alt character.

4. At the character selection screen, click on the add-ons button and check "Load out of date Addons".
5. After logging in, hit escape and go to the interface menu. From there you will go through all of the add-ons looking for the "profile" option. Select and load "HixxyUI" for
The add-ons listed below;

ArkInventory
Castbars
Chatter
Chinchilla Minimap
Decursive

Here is a list of some add-on commands that are not listed in the interface options panel.
Be sure to load the "HixxyUI" profiles for these as well.

/BT - That is for Bartender.
/kgpanels config - That provides background placeholders.
/hb config - no profiles need to be loaded. Just wanted to list it incase you wanted to make changes to the skins i modified or add your characters skills.
