WrathsUI feedback
Hey I'm in the process of building my new UI mostly out of Code of already existing Addons and I would love to hear some feedback.
Here is what I've got so far. In a raid: Just chilling in Stormwind |
Looks smooth and simple. Nothing really new in terms of styling but overall it is looking clean and does show what you want to see.

+1 for a readable font at a readable size.
Only complaints: - Way too many action buttons -- go get OPie! - Round-cornered nameplates don't match the rest of the UI - Random empty panels below the chat frame and damage/threat meters seem pointless - Boss mod timer bars need borders and look like they're using a bar texture with a slight gradient instead of the flat texture you're using everywhere else |
like Phanx already said:
- the bottom panels left/right without some kind of information footage are really pointless though (you maybe can fill it with titanpanel info or something similar) - DBM / BigWigs timer need a little style hack for the icon border and another bar texture to fit the style. stuff disturbing me: - OmniCC cooldown timer on your actionbars need a bit of resize. They're to big imo. - reposition your scrolling combat text for your heals/absorbs/dodges/parries. Maybe under the your main tank unit frames or left of your actionbar / player frame The rest of you're UI seems clean! Smooth and easy style. ;) |
Completly agree.
The Nameplates are not really finished, I used something from an old Interface, I will do my own soon hopefully ^^ I don't know if I want to get less ActionButtons, Opie is cool but It doesn't really allow me to monitor my Cooldowns. So why would I want to get like another addon to monitor cooldowns which blocks screen instead of using a Actionbar. The Panels under the Chat are supposed to hold information like Gold, Ping, FPS. I just can't figure out how to do it in Lua. I already failed on the Clock, because the one that I did doesn't update. And Now I'm kinda pushing the task to do it away. I don't want to use an Addon with ingame config but if there is one very simple with only Lua, I would love to hear the name. And about DBM, yeah I'm lazy. I don't consider DBM part of my actual UI and usally just throw it on when I raid but I will reposition it and skin the bars right. OmniCC might be too big true. Here I used "Cooldowns" btw. I switched to tullaCC which is like a leightweight OmniCC from the same author. And finally about the Heals. They are pretty broad so either I get a Combat Text Addon or I will just put it a big higher. What would be the easiest way to move it. Does anyone know? Like can I call it in Lua and change the position? Thanks for the Feedback :) |

I might get xCT (I think it is still maintained) or MSBT just for the Heals and reposition then somewhere. I will leave the damage alone and just change the font :) Edit: Changed up some Stuff. Buffs on the Unitframes are now correctly skinned. Well atleast a bit. Sometimes, I don't know why randomly some Buffs just loose their Skin. or the Skin is displayed bugged. Why? WHy!? ouF_Skaarj is just soooo huge that I can't deal with all that code, I'm thinking of switching but a lot of ouF Skins are simply outdated. infopanels are now in place. might have to tweak some stuff because it isn't even in the spaces. I used http://www.wowinterface.com/download...inbarInfo.html For it since It was the easiest with just copy-pasting and offered everything I wanted. Edit 2: Is there an efficent way to change every Font in the game to mine? I know I could swap out some stuff in the "Fonts" folder in the directory but I wan't to keep everything in my Addon. |
A Fonts folder is *the* efficient way to change your fonts. In addition, it will change *all* fonts including your damage text and the names over characters in the game world.

I changed quite a bit on the info panels, would love to hear if you like it!
I also integrated a cool addon called EasyWorldMarker which creates a simple frame to set and clear worldmarkers for raids. |
Neat idea on the info panels, some info probably a bit odd imo. The ilevel for instance and time online to me aren't super important. Does the afk click button make you /afk? I feel like you can type four characters quicker than you can click that. Similar with the readycheck. I made a slash command of /rc that performs readychecks. Also what does the roll button do, /roll?
Otherwise seems like a clean layout. Glad you got your gold text working :P |
Yeah some of the stuff is just a little bit useless to fill the space. I'm just using parts of another Addon which only had these infopanels.
The afk button only does /afk and roll does /roll. I'm still working things out so the function may change but some people like to click a lot and I had a extra actionbutton for readycheck, so putting it in a simple interface button seemed better. Maybe I find better use of the button. I would love to do something like Hide Chat, but I can't figure out how I would do that. |
