I’ve Shown You Mine, Now You Show Me Yours

…and in case you missed it, here it is again.

Click here if you want to know more about my UI. Click here if you want to try it out.

Ok… so now that I’ve shown you my user interface, I’m interested in seeing yours. I want to know what you guys are looking at when you play WoW, and which addons you recommend and/or can’t live without.

I’ve started a thread in the User Interface forum where anyone is welcome to post their Hunter UI and addons list. If you like, include a little extra info about your UI and what your main focus is (ie: raiding, BGs, arena, soloing, etc…).

My inspiration for designing UIs comes from viewing countless other screenshots and borrowing what I like from them. I consider a UI to be a work in progress, so who knows… maybe you can turn me on to an addon or feature I hadn’t known about or hadn’t thought of.

If you’re interested in sharing your UI with thousands of other Hunters across the globe, post your pics, addons list, or a screenshot of your addons folder, to this thread: The Art of Hunter UI.

What I find hard is that I usually play WoW on 2 different machines (1280×1024 and wide 1980×1050). That makes using custom UIs a real pain, due to different icons and stuff positioning.

So far I’ve got a very clean interface but I have to admit it: I miss the “classic” ui… I’ll try a raid run and see

This is my UI. What I did was:

- deleted WTF folder (kept a copy)
- deleted INTERFACE folder (kept a copy)
- unzipped YOUR WTF/INTERFACE folders in WoW folder
- renamed yourserver/yourcharacter with real ones
- login, check addons, play

It has really nothing to do with the UI you posted in the screenshot, dunno why.

Should be an easy fix. Just configure the addon profiles for garwulf – Kul Tiras, then /reload.

That hopefully will fix it.

Let me know.

So far I’m feeling good, of course it will take a little time to get used to a completely revamped interface (mostly because my hand automatically moves over specific icons that are in new places now lol…)
