Reader UI of the Week: Adding to a UI compilation
Each week, WoW Insider and Mathew McCurley bring you a fresh look at reader-submitted UIs as well as Addon Spotlight, which spotlights the latest user interface addons. Have a screenshot of your own UI that you'd like to submit? Send your screenshots along with info on what mods you're using to readerui@wowinsider.com, and follow Mathew on Twitter.
Welcome back to Reader UI of the Week, folks. I have just moved a few characters around server and faction-wise, so I've been knee-deep in moving interface folders around and setting up addons again with the incredibly annoying, yet functional, profile system. Suffice to say, I hope the profile system gets updated in the future with more options.www.threadwow.com
This week's Reader UI submission comes from Zachi, long-time addon junkie and new reader to WoW Insider. Welcome, ma'am or sir; we are glad to have you here. Hang around, won't you? Zachi's UI is based around ElvUI, my personal favorite (and recommended) UI compilation that makes a great base for any user interface, be it tank, DPS, or healer. Adding to a compilation UI can be a tricky affair, so let's see what we can learn from how Zachi added addons to an already featured UI compilation.
Zachi's healer UI: healer UI, ElvsUI, resto shaman
Hit me, Zachi:
Hi Mat,
I've been a long time add-on junkie though a short term reader of this site and I wanted to show my latest and longest lasting UI off a bit now that I've got it in a stable state.www.scanscafe.com
Deadly Boss Mods - The one constantly mentioned and boy was this a pain to set up for me just in the fact that I went through each and every raid boss for cataclysm double checking that the correct things were checked. It probably wouldn't take quite so much time if I raided less than I do but I find that all the time spent squinting at the screen was well worth the effort so that I have only want I want to see showing up.
Elkano's Buff Bars - Wonderful add-on that gives me all the information I need to know and it gets slapped over to the side of the screen so that it stays out of line of sight.
Miks Scrolling Battle Text - While the default config is nice I did move things off to the side and make the windows a little smaller so I wasn't only seeing the combat text in the middle of fights.
