Howdy Folks –

Been tweaking around with my interface again (shocking, I know!), figured I’d post what I’m playing with now for the AddOn addicts out there.

Here’s a screenie with nothing targeted:

No Target

From left to right, here are some of the more obvious elements:

• Buffs and Debuff/Tracking bars
• Eavesdrop (left corner – combat log replacement)
• Guild and Party chat
• Recount damage meter
• Simple Minimap (center)
• Bartender4 Action Bar (center, above map)
• Omen threat meter
• System messages, other channel chat
• A few more Bars (right corner – set to fade out unless moused over)
• Capping (bottom right corner – Wintergrasp timer)
• Chocolate Bar LDB display (along the bottom – lots of various info; there’s another bar at the top of the screen with less-frequently-needed info, set to appear on mouseover)

Next screenie is with myself as both Target and Focus:

All Targets

New elements:

• The left arcs are my health and mana; the right arcs are my Target’s health and mana (which in this screenie are all the same, since I’m targeting myself)
• The green bar in the center is my Target’s Target
• The info below the green bar is my Target Info (name, race, class, etc.)
• The three squares to the left of that are my Target’s Buffs (Debuffs would display to the right, if I had any)
• To the right of my main Action Bar, above Omen, are my Focus Target (the top one), and my Focus Target’s Target (below)
• Also notice that now with something targeted, the minimap is overlayed with the Target’s profile (the pic is animated and moves around a bit, that’s why Spytte’s head is cut in half)

Final screenie is with my Hunter, so I could show the UI with a pet class, and also in combat:

In Combat

New elements:

• Pet info (including pet buffs) is to the left of the main Action Bar; Pet’s target is just below that (the Unbound Seer); Pet’s Health and Energy are the two smaller arcs just to the right of mine
• The Pet Action Bar is just above the right chat window (faded out unless moused over)
• Just above my main Action Bar are timer bars for the Buffs and Debuffs I want to track on my Target
• Combat text is scrolling up, following the arcs of the center hud on both sides – left side shows damage/effects to me and my pet, right side shows damage/effects to my target
• Just to recap – the two left arcs are my health and mana (both near full – yay ranged DPS!); the two right arcs are my Target’s health and mana (61% and 100% respectively), with the Target info in the center (Unbound Seer, Mage, etc.), and the Target’s profile picture overlaying the minimap; the green bar in the center of it all shows what my Target is targeting (in this case Ktani, my pet).

Finally, here’s a quick (0:17) YouTube video clip showing everything in action:

Obviously it takes a bit of getting used to, but I find I much prefer having all the combat info I need all clustered dead-center of the screen instead of having to watch corners. One thing I didn’t catch in the screenshots are cast bars – my cast bar is another arc to the left of my mana, my Target’s cast bar is another arc to the right of his mana.

Another thing I’m sure I’ve mentioned a gajillion times is the Action Bar – lots of folks ask me “How can you play with only 12 buttons?” It’s easy – I don’t.  😀  I rotate the Action Bar with the mousewheel, there are actually 6 “pages” to the bar (so without moving my left hand from the keys, I can access 6 x 12 = 72 buttons).

Someday I’d like to get my full UI page updated, but that’s a lot more work than this post! Anyway, hopefully folks find something interesting or helpful here, always happy to answer any questions about AddOns, anytime.

Below is the full list of AddOns – seems like a lot, but they don’t tax the system nearly as much as ya might think. My hardware is pretty old, and the difference between no AddOns and all AddOns is about 5 FPS. NOTE: most of these AddOns don’t actually show up in screenshots, they’re more “in the background”, and included only for completeness.
