A simple, very lightweight, UI based on Blizzard’s default UI.
SainUI is an attempt at making Blizzard’s default UI a cleaner, more functional experience. Everything is built using Blizzards existing frames, and therefore it’s extremely lightweight with both memory and processor power (~30kb of memory, and virtually no extra CPU power). The UI works with any resolution and UI scale. No setup needed.
The addon is divided into 3 parts. Each work without the other if you’re only interested in parts of the UI.
SainUI
The general layout of the UI.
- Clean actionbars. A total of 4 actionbars available at the bottom of the screen.
- Cleaner, square minimap. Zoom in and out using the mousewheel.
- Bag bar hidden unless you mouse over it. Positioned in the bottom right corner.
- Micro menu hidden unless you mouse over it. Positioned under the minimap.
- Chat menus are hidden unless you mouse over them.
SainUI: Unit Frames
Modifies the default unit frames.
- Darker, square frame.
- Smaller portrait.
- Larger health bar.
- Names are class colored.
SainUI: Raid Frames
Modifies the default raid frames.
- Names are class colored.
- Dark grey health bars.
- Background is bright red. Better contrast for lost health.
- Players out of range will appear as transparent dark red. Much easier to spot.
- Larger buffs and debuffs on small frames. Debuffs positioned at the top right of the frame.
Note: The new health bar and background color will not be active if you have class colored healthbars activated in interface options.
Configuration
There is no SainUI-specific configuration in-game. Since it’s all based on the default UI, Blizzard’s interface options will effect SainUI just as it would normally. If you are not scared to poke around a bit with the code, there are several simple configurations placed at the top of the LUA documents, e.g. moving the unitframes.
Installation
Unzip in your "World of Warcraft/Interface" folder, not the AddOns folder! If you are unsure of where to place the different folders, take a look at the 4th image uploaded with this addon.
