It seems nice for PvE, if I wouldn't PvP so much, my UI would look ALMOST the same. Good work :)

Description
My basic, minimalistic UI.
Used for tanking on my Death Knight, but works fine with any class/role.Running dry on ideas, looking for any kind of feedback.

hmmz, few thingies imo.
I would give your actionbars less spacing so they look more like your debuffs. And work a bit more with them so they're pixelperfect. Same for the actionbar in the bottomright.
The chat window on the right seems a bit odd placed since you already have an actionbar in the corner. Not to mention it seems ot show your combat log, which you also have in SCT form. Having 2 the same (useless) things seems a bit strange for me.
Your SCT is at the very left and very right, now ask yourself the question "How many times in a combat/raid situation do I actually look there?". I bet it's VERY little. Either just remove it, as it has little use imo, or get it closer to your character so you can actually see it.
Your buffs have timers on the bottom part, imo it would make more sense if your debuffs had it there too.
Minimap misses a border (the left one). Plus I would give your small buffs (the Iceboudn Fortitude and Horn of Winter in the pic) also a text timer instead of a statusbar. They're short duration anyway. "Reading" the statusbar probably costs more time then a number would.But all in all a simple and pretty UI. :)

I see what you mean on the action bars, will fix.
Chat window on the right isn't there normally, just ignore it.
The SCT - I don't want it messing up my view. It's not a vital part of my UI, more like situational information, so I'm rather happy where it is now.
Will fix the debuff timer position and the missing border on my minimap. Thanks.
I've actually been switching back and forth between the small bar and timer on my "small buffs". Can't decide which I'm most comfortable with.
Appreciate the feedback, off to improve!

Hey wake, first let me say this is a great UI. I can really appreciate your taste in visuals. which leads to my question: because you use stuf unit frames, there can only be one "box" as a black bg for the unit frame if one wants to use a different color as the health bar bg.
so in terms of strata: player bg(black) --> healthbar bg(red?) -->healthbar (classcolor)
but the catch is that you have your energy bar independent of the major player frame, so my question is: how do you have a black pixel border on that bar if the actual bar bg isn't black??
I hope that makes sense. :P
p.s. what pixel font is that? looks like hooge8 or something
thanks

In bars.lua search for this part
if not f then f = Stuf:CreateBase(unit, uf, name, db) f.bg = f:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND") f.bg:SetAllPoints(f) f.barbase = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, uf) f.bar = f:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")and add this below it
f.barbase:SetBackdrop{ bgFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground", tile = true, tileSize = 16, insets = {left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1}, } f.barbase:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0,1)It will make a nice 1 pixel border. and you will be able too use the background features in stuf. just make sure everything has the correct frame level too.
Creds to Twin2.
Font is Hooge0557 and 0555, by the way.

WOW!

thank you for passing the knowledge on.

Love the off-centre target frame; really kind of forces you to look at it as opposed to when it's just a nice aesthetic mirrored one- I find I can gloss over those ones sometimes! "Oh, the boss is dead? >>"
I'd love to know what cooldown timer you're using on your actionbars to have the timer at the bottom of the button instead of awkwardly in-the-middle-but-off-to-one-side like OmniCC! Is it just Dominos? I've never used it.

Superb (even with Pixelfont stuff). Nothing more to say.
