What is thisFollow

Rofl Don't listen to em - they just troll when it comes to GUIs. I believe the answers about it being gatherer are correct.

As for GUI/HUD, play with what your comfortable in - that's the point of customization. I will say I'm not a fan at all of the OP's but I'm also not a fan of any linked here either. It's reciprocal as they've seen mine and tried to bash me for it as well.

It's best to just not even link it with Aeth and Theo around - they will mindlessly bash it. Comically hypocritical but whatever.

Anobix (if I recall) had/has one of the best I've ever seen. I made no attempt to copy it. I don't know if he's a regular around here anymore but if he is ask him about it. I will try to find it if I can.

**Edit**

Found one of his GUI going without the HUD going off.

If you're a fan of Mid-screen HUDs like Power Auras, then its wise to keep most of your junk closest to the outside of the screen as possible. If you heal this is not as easy. It is wise for healers to have bars a bit closer to the middle so they can watch bars and DBM as well as where they are standing.

Due to the different needs of different classes there is no One GUI to Rule Them All.

Booyah!

It's getting somewhat outdated though, and I need to update some functions. Then again, there's a lot of functions I can't really update because my addons are still borking up because of Cata. No, I don't exactly like my IceHUD either atm, the ***** reset itself and I had about fifteen minutes to set it back up.

I looked into nui a while ago actually and it appears to be very customizable. I saw some implementations that were completely lean. I'd recommend it for anyone not wanting to fiddle with individual addons a lot, which I never thought I'd do for a package addon.

To be fair, that got answered on the third response.

While not relevant to the question the OP posed, I would hardly call a discussion about UIs an irrelevant derail. There is a logical connect between his question itself and UIs in general, and such a discussion can be quite useful to folks. It's not like suddenly it was a thread about something random, like many derails in the days leading up to Cata.

Thanks!

As for the button - no, that is there because my Bartender still isn't properly configured and it goes weird in some vehicle-ocassions. I don't mind clicking the exit button (I quite literally have every key on my keyboard bound already), it's just that it tends to appear in random places due to my Bartender still being a bit hazy. I need to fix that.

I was actually thinking about that yesterday. Not disputing your post, but 'bad' is a very relative term. If you're a player with, say, severe trypophobia, I can imagine just wanting to fill up the bottom of the screen instead of leaving viewing 'holes'. Some players play better in weird circumstances. It's just that removing unnecissary information is 'globally speaking' a good thing because it allows the majority of the WoW-players to focus on what people fail most at - avoiding the fire.

Got any links to these? The only things I've really seen are different people's art skins. Some of which are very pretty or nice looking, others are just bloated and look terrible.

Is selecting "load out of date addons" and occasionally starting up the curse downloader program really that hard/bothersome?

Not initially, but it becomes so when even updated versions stop working properly. MoveAnything hasn't worked properly for ages for me. PowerAuras has ocassionaly been bugging out and not showing anything since Cata hit. IceHUD reset itself.

I've actually got multiple backups of my UI and still find it a drudge. It's not so much the selecting of "load out of date addons" as it is your entire UI being relient on a couple of mods and stuff just going ******* insane every now and then, forcing you to *again* check for a new version and at the very least relog. If you've got as much addons as I have, there's a good chance of something critical doing something strange in a raid, which is when I don't exactly want to go and fiddle with the UI.

I'm not saying it's not worth it, but for a lot of players I can see why they'd use the Blizz UI. With all the cleanup it's received it honestly isn't so bad anymore, and at least it always works. Funnily enough, this whole thing sounds like the Mac vs PC discussion on addon level.

That's what I'm saying - once every 4-5 raids isn't a crazy number. I'm not making a bigger deal out of it than it is, because if it was an actual big deal I wouldn't be using addons. I'm just saying **** with addons does happen enough for me to understand if people just prefer to use the Blizzard UI, especially with all the modifications it has recently received.

I'm going out on a limb here and saying that it's more your issue than addons because once every 4-5 raids seems like a massive number to me, once every 45 raids seems more likely

Oh you guys would just hate my UI, I have crap everywhere! =P
