The Great UI Overhaul

My UI was a cluttered mess of near randomly placed bars and windows simply designed to get me through th process of leveling with the constant promise that I’d “fix it when I was 70″. Well, 70 came awhile back and I kept putting it off. Well, I finally did it. I finally began my great UI overhaul.

Let’s start from the beginning, here is what my UI looked like to start:
Old UI*

As you can see, far from the default UI but a cluttered mess. The main mods in use were:

  • Bartender3
  • Fubar
  • IceHUD
  • ag_UnitFrames
  • simpleMiniMap
  • ElkBuffBars
  • Prat

And now, my current UI:
New UI Phase 1*

Still a bit more work to be done but I think it’s a vast improvement. Main mods in use:

  • FlexBar2
  • Fubar
  • eePanels2
  • IceHUD
  • simpleMiniMap
  • ElkBuffBars
  • Chatter

You’ll notice I completely ditched a unit frame mod in favor of just a HUD. I’ve personally trained myself to use just the HUD anyways so I don’t miss the unit frames, however, I do believe I will eventually end up with something (possibly Pitbull) because I hate the way the default group member frames look.

Phase 1 complete, phase 2 will include a final decision about the unit frames and perhaps an attempt to integrate some of my own graphics and textures into eePanels.
