iLive user interface  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.3
by: iLive [More]

I believe the best experience I have had within WoW is creating user interfaces, and I would like to share my newest release of iLive user interface with you. If you don't know, iLive user interface is a minimalistic UI that focuses on simplicity, consistency and functionality.

Inside my recent versions I've tried to use a new concept where I hide action bars we don't need to see in combat: main action bar, class bar and other bars with abilities not used inside combat. You don't need to see your Holy Light, Nourish, Heal or Healing Wave, because it has no cooldown anyway. You won't ressurect people during combat either, use your mount or use a flask while fighting a boss. Therefore, these bars have been made invisible to give you more space for in-game content view. This picture should further explain how this works.

The resolutions supported are 1920x1080, 1680x1024, 1440x1050 and 1280x1024. Note that this UI is more suited for healers (especially Holy Paladins), so if you're a DPS or tank, I won't suggest you to use it. Also, this UI is made primarily for 10 player raiding, but if you move your raid frames, then using them for 25 player mode is also possible (check the questions below on how to do that).

I've worked on this UI for two years, and throughout this period I've received so much inspiration, help and comments that have helped me make this UI become what it is today. Thanks to everyone, and let's not forget the addon authors allowing us to use their awesome addons!


-------------------------------
Q&A SECTION
-------------------------------
Is it possible to see more content of the interface in action?
A user made a video of the interface inside a dungeon, which can be seen here on YouTube.

How do I see raid frames for more than two groups (battleground and 25 raid)?
I've made this interface for 10 player raiding, which means only two groups are shown by base. But, if you enter the addon Grid and make the layout show "Group 25" for 25 Raid and Battleground, and then unlock and move it somewhere else (example), you can make it work for any raid modes.

Where are target's buffs and debuffs?
I've disabled it, but it can be enabled it by entering the addon PitBull and enabling "Aura" in Modules.

Where are the clock, tracking and calender?
Hover the minimap with your mouse for clock, right click the minimap for tracking and middle mouse click for calender.

Why can't I see red warning text (not enough mana, not ready yet etc.)?
Leatrix Plus is a simple addon that removes many useless spam information (important are still shown), and it does this in order to make less disturbance. You can choose for youself what it should hide through its configurations, or you can delete or turn off the addon if you don't want these settings.

There's only need, greed and disenchant buttons for lootrolls, where's pass?
You right click the item's bar in order to pass.

What does the pink and red corner icons mean inside Grid?
The left pink corner icon shows the current holder of Beacon of Light, while the right red corner icon shows when tanks uses tank cooldowns to take less damage.

Does anything happen if I update an addon?
Yes, something MIGHT happen, so I won’t suggest you to update any addons. But these addons are up to date, and will be until the release of patch 4.3. In the time of new patches, I'll update the entire package for you.

---------------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL
---------------------------------------
1. Download iLive user interface.rar (open the folder with WinRAR).
2. Enter the folder with your resolution (or the closest to your resolution) and replace the folders with the folders in your WoW folder.
3. Open WTF folder and rename the following:

ACCOUNTNAME ---> edit to account's name with capital letters.
ServerName ---> edit to server's name.
CharacterName ---> edit to your character's name.
4. Start World of Warcraft.
5. Choose original settings, and take the UI Scale to the lowest point inside advanced options (0.64).
6. Enter "/reflux switch iLive" in-game.

General
  • Changed the supported resolutions to: 1920x1080, 1680x1024, 1440x1050 and 1280x1024.
  • Updated most addons to make the UI compatible with patch 4.2, and changed the .toc file for the rest of the addons to make them appear up to date through login screen.
  • This UI only supports one version now instead of two (Unique and Simple).
  • All addons are enabled through login screen, and addons not used are disabled in-game.
  • Added following addons: Grid_RaidDebuffs, Clique, Raven, ConnectBartenderBars and SimplePowerBar.
  • Removed following addons: BetterPowerBarAlt, Satrina Buff Frames and Skada.
  • Changed font from Samson to Semplice Regular.
  • Changed font to be monochrome outline for all addons using the Semplice Regular font.

Grid (raid frames)
  • Increased height, padding, center icon size and max letters allowed in names.
  • Added aggro indicator to border.
  • Added duration to removable debuffs (magic, curse, poison and disease).

  • Changed frames to be more faded out when people are out of range.

Power Auras Classic (notification)

  • Changed all panel names to be more appropriate.
  • Added three new panels to separate unitframes’ health and mana with a black line.

  • Changed action bar 1 to fade out instead of permanent invisibility. It’s now visible when you move your mouse over the action bar in the top left.
  • Added action bar 6 next to action bar 5 (the faded bar below other bars) to make the width equal to action bars above, and to allow more space for abilities.

nothing is correct on placement or styles

Please take another look at your latest upload pack and settings, ive done a correct install 3 times now and nothing sits right on 1920*1080p with ui scale to the far left on slider..

also pitbul frames look nothing like urs on a swith iLive..

looked clean was hoping for better will try one more time..

EDIT: I have it sorted, the problem was wow for some odd reason was loading all the modules even with the load out of date off. strange, either way though the clean video config etc again and all the wtf variables removed i see that the loaded check box is on but some mods are grey and this is now correct due to the ui using features of them but not actually loading the mod which messes things up i think ?

anyhow looking much better now.

p.s the backdrop to the action bar ( grey backdrop ) what package is that in, id like to dim it down a bit from its solid grey..
oh and where is the xp bar ? pitbulls "bars tab" does not show an xp option as usually pitbull does.

thanks.

Grid colour.

Hi iLive.

I wondered how you managed to make your Grid have that dark-grey/blackish healthbar?

Many thanks.

Lovely UI, though I'll admit to making a few changes to the bars. I have a question though. It seems that your cast bars didn't hold their settings for the reflux, and there's no profile saved in the addon itself. Thoughts?

Thank god, i was getting worried you had dissapeared. I manually updated most of the addons i could that were up to date.

However i keep getting a problem where my wow just randomly crashes me to the desktop, and it's almost instant no lag or anything just straight to my desktop, going to assume its all the glitches in the un-updated addons.

One thing, is with the introduction of holy power, i think you should make a profile for paladins in power auras to have holy power put in. I personally used the 3 lines red being 1, yellow being 2, and green being 3 when the 3rd and final solar power is up and it pings with the sonar soundfile like in the link below. just my 2c.



Oh and yeah i use xperl for my unitframes instead, just a preference.

Keep up the good work, absolutly love this UI.

I don't think even all addons are up to date, but it's still in my interest to continue with iLive user interface.

Love the UI but...

I gotta say, I love the UI.
currently I play on a laptop,
I have no problem running the UI w/ 1280x800 (beside for having to squint to read anything) but when I hookup to my screen (1280 x 1024) no matter how hard I try to resize everything it's a no go. I read on mm-champion that you were at one point working on a version for 1280x1024, just wondering if that was in the works or not?

Edit: Also when I did /powa on my pally there was nothing there.

having trouble

I am having a problem that sounds similar to Nyamie. My character is a priest as well. When I hit /reflux switch priest my bars all overlap in the middle of the screen and I get the following error message:

@Nyamie
You remembered that the account name is not your email, but a number (or name if it's a old account)? Check your old/current WTF folder and see what the account's name is, and use the same name. Remember all these letters need to be BIG. :] ServerName and CharacterName needs their first letter BIG, and the rest small (just like normal). Remember the UI scale aswell.

And is your resolution 1280 x 1024? If so then the UI might look a bit different. :/

Hi, iLive. I tried downloading your UI, followed your video and did everything you asked copying the folders over and changing the account name, realm, name, etc. I used lower case in my ServerName folder and lower case for my name as well but caps for my account name.

Anyway, when logging in, I follow the directions and type:

/reflux switch Priest

Nothing happens, nothing changes and I'm not sure why. I used 1280/1024.

Not sure if this has something to do with it, but grrrr. Your UI is so gorgeous. I wants it!! Hopefully I'll hear back from you.
