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.

  • 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).

  • Removed manually added raid debuffs.

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

Power Auras Classic (notification)

Very relevant questions deserves some good answers.

The raid frames aren't remved but just hidden in the old fashioned way. Just click the button at the left part of the screen and you can show/hide it through there. You can see it here: http://i.imgur.com/cjjh1.jpg

In the first versions of this UI I had trouble to show buffs/debuffs because of needed space, but even though I have the space now I've kinda noticed how little I need to show buffs/debuffs on my target. I have raid frames (Grid) to show me important raid debuffs or debuffs I can remove, so for me it's additional clutter to highlight it, and therefore it's disabled, but you can easily enable it without overlapping anything.

Hail iLive

Hi there iLive! First of all i must say i really love your UI package, its clean, its simple and its easy on the eyes.

But being below the average of knowing how to config UI's, i have a question.
Where have you hidden the original Blizzard-Grid-Raid-frames?
I am no big fan of grid, since the original one does the trick and i don't want to waste any extra memory on addons i don't need.

And about the enable/disable debuffs on your target. When/If you enable this function does it overlap any existing frames ? Whats the reason for disabling it?


Thanks !

v4.1 isn't supported for 25 man raiding. This new concept came as an idea while I was trying to go to sleep, and I really fell in love with it, but the flaw is that if you're doing 25 man, you probably can't use this UI (as a healer), unless you think it's fine to take Grid somewhere more up. I am sorry. :/

I am releasing a new version of iLive user interface tomorrow around 18:00/6:00PM, and you'll have the option between two versions (simple and unique).

Simple and unique.

I've released a fast update of iLive user interface, but there's not much different other than updates to addons and auras now being interractive. The next release will be very different from original design of iLive user interface, and most of you probably won't like it, so it'll perhaps go with another name. Free from school for a week soon, so will edit it there.

HINTS: It will be without unit frames. :P

Thumbs up Love the UI

It took me a while to find something I liked (not nearly as long as it would have taken me to make something) and glad I stumbled onto this one.

The only thing that bugs me is the Blizzard boss frame, if you're still updating this that would be the only item I would like to see changed. Otherwise awesome UI, clean & functional.

I stopped using it after patch 4.0.1, because of the ingame ones.

I am glad you found out. :] The addon where you can adjust the panels (like the mentioned one below bars) is called kgPanels and can be configured through "/kgpanels config". You need to locate something called "action bar" and there you can edit everything (color, place etc.).

Just use the XP bar inside Bartender "/bar".

@Shinrou
SBF got an update yesterday that should help you with that.
