Sexy Interface?

[Lonehwolf]

No, scratch that, not sexy I want it cool =o I want to have a good looking interface, doesn't take up much memory and Gives me useful addons for a mage/warlock/druid.

I understand that that's what everyone would want and it may be hard to put together but I really want a cool, slick, smooth, smart looking interface giving me useful features for tracking DOTs, buffs, debuffs, player, target, target's target portraits showing decently.

Addons I shuffled through so far were X-Perl (Cool, but not what I'm looking for), Pitbull (No idea how to use it xD), Bongos3 (discontinued seemingly).

What I was aiming was for Caith's interface, it f**ing rocked! Such smoothness... BUT it doesn't load decently for me. Everything is messed up, things are wierd, so I'm giving up on that xD

If you could provide me with addons, ways to tweak them and bang myself a nice hardcore lookin interface I'd wet dream about u next, I promise

=o Wolf :-)

I'm not sure if I want you to wet dream about me ...

Anyway, I strongly suggest you give Pitbull another try. sure, the options look intimidating, but they are the exact same for every frame you want to configure. So if you carefully look at every option in the player frame setup, you'll know how to work with Pitbull. it just looks hard, but if you take 10 minutes of your time and read everything carefully, it's really easy.

Other than that, for action bars there's Dominos (this is the update to Bongos3), Bartender4, Macaroon and a lot of others.
I personally prefer Dominos, and dislike Macaroon because this is too much hassle to set up to achieve something simple (all i want is move my actionbars around after all)

For your minimap, I suggest a square one. Chinchilla is popular, but a bit heavy. Then there's squeenix, which is light but a bit less popular. Personally I use PocketPlot, which isn't known that much, and I wonder why that is because it's awesome. :]

Then let's see ... For the classes listed, I strongly suggest getting either ClassTimer or DoTimer. This will track various things (and is useful for every class actually) like clearcasting duration, your scorch debuff, curses durations, your hots on players, mangle duration, etc. (examples given for classes you play obviously :P)

If you want it to look really sexy, getting the SharedMedia libs and Fontain are a must, as sharedMedia will add more bar textures and fonts to your game. While Fontain lets you configure those fonts globally across your entire UI (or have different fonts for different parts of it).

That's all I can come up with right now.

your picture please

I'm gonna give another try to Pitbull, I'm really interested in getting it right this time, I'll try tweaking a bit with SharedMedia cause it's probably the secret to getting a good lookin' GUI.

I acquired PocketPlot, and ClassTimer, put DoTimer aside since it's warlock oriented and I don't feel like getting things that will interfere with each other unless they're global.

I downloaded Ace2 and Ace3, guessing that they're going to be required by SharedMedia and other addons.

I don't know whether or not I should download Cartographer3 and QuestHelper yet... or will that mess me up? =o

I definitely liked the first two
Cool looking, smooth, simple and unintrusive looking:

Heavier, more informative and controlful style:

I'll probably end up banging either of those, but right now I'll try building my own, if that fails miserably, I'll go with either of those.

Its all the eye of the beholder, if you like textures taking up 30% of your screen real estate jump on a packaged addon (and install the saved variables correctly) But remember if your running a ****box pc then you will pay the price with fps loss.

I understand that that's what everyone would want and it may be hard to put together but I really want a cool, slick, smooth, smart looking interface giving me useful features for tracking DOTs, buffs, debuffs, player, target, target's target portraits showing decently.

For tracking DOT's and the like id suggest Spell Timers i tossed the self tracking out of the screen and left the target / focus tracking alone.

Personally love Icehud for the player / target frame but i cant live without a HUD, pMinimap is a grouse map addon it does everything i need and nothing more. Dominos for modifying the actionbars, and if you are in to it buttonfacade to make the actionbars look all pretty.
