PM me your email address and I'll send you my Raven Saved Variables files.

NVM... I grabbed it from your profile. I'll send the files to your Gmail account today, along with instructions on what to do with them.

Thanks for the reply. Especially since you have so much going on in RL. I was just so frustrated that I couldn't get your UI to configure properly because I liked it so much. I kept trying to make it on my own and while I made some progress, its was nothing like yours.

It appears that Raven just didnt/cant load your settings. So based on your above comments I just tried to configure Raven manually. I am sure its not as refined as yours, but I am ok with that right now. I just started playing again after a 2 year layoff.

One thing I would like is to be able to click on players buffs to find out what they are. For example, if someone is on a mount and I want to find out what type it is. I can seem the buff when I mouse over them (TipTac?), but I can't click on any of those. When I target the player no buffs show.

Thanks for a great UI and your help.

Hi Jaregard,

I apologize for the delay in responding...been a troublesome few weeks in my world so I've not been around here much.

Raven does control the buff groups.

The way I've set it up is to long-duration buffs and auras in the top-left corner of the screen, short duration buffs above each unit frame (player & target), debuffs are to the left and right (respectively) of each UF for target and player - and are displayed in bar mode.

Do note that I've filtered out a lot of buffs, so it's possible you won't see any at times -- especially if you're resting.

If I have any other ideas I'll update this topic once I've had a chance to log in and have a look.

Ok, so I have been playing with this UI on and off for a bit and it is very frustrating. I really like it, but can not get it to work for me. I know that Raven controls the buff display, but I can not get it to work properly. If I put it in test mode the bar comes up in the upper left of the screen with test squares, but after I turn the test mode off it goes away and will not come back. I tried changing to a different profile and then back to GarUI. Nothing. Reinstalled everything. Nothing. Is there another addon I should look at? Any ideas? thanks

Ok new at this, but I am unable to figure out how to get my buffs/debuffs as well as the target's to display. I assume there is an addon that changes whats displayed depending on if you are in a raid or BG etc, but I cant figure out which one or if thats it at all.

thanks
