Time for a new UI/Addon thread! (3.3.3)Follow

So your UI is for healing, right? Otherwise I can't imagine why you'd have party frames/raid frames in the center of the screen.

You don't need buttons if you have keybinds, especially for a melee class (as range isn't much of an issue) but range really just gets a feel to it for the most part, and ultimately isn't that important while leveling. Cooldowns are visible by looking at the fortexorcist window below the character pane. I'm sure any important procs/buffs show up on the right side or can use powerauras for it as well.

Minimap is in the bottom right corner

Bags open by hitting 'b', who needs a toolbar to click for bags, especially if you use a one-bag solution (like Bagnon)

Cooldowns are all shown i ForteXorcist and I know all keybinds for all characters that I play semi regular by heart.
Minimap, as said, is right bottom corner and is much less opaque on mouse over. Bag is B, can't be easier, and aside from that there's a bar hidden until mouseover for bag/keys and the menu.

Edit: Out of curiosity.

While it does promote minimalism with every pixel there is on the screen, it's not a UI I think I'd be comfortable with. Too many transparent frames and lack of an overall "theme" in the layout.

And... Aeth, are your health bars filling up the wrong way?

Anobix: Yep, for healing :). And when I'm soloing, there's just the one box (me), so it doesn't matter. I have not yet figured out my configuration for the rogue, but I don't even use VuhDo with the rogue, so it would be completely different.

Aethien: I clicked "might try", but to be honest, I don't see myself doing that. I do like minimalist, and have been leaning that way, but I just can't see myself downloading someone else's whole UI -- I'd rather get the components and do it myself. Right now, I'm pretty happy with what I have, but I'm sure I'll continue to experiment.

Mazra, what is the frame thing surrounding all of your buttons?

I don't want a full new UI, but I like the look of it.

The Hello Kitty UI has a similar setup, what mod is it? Now Hello Kitty is super badass and all, don't want that specific one though.

Basically what I am getting at, I like the button grouping/frames in rawrUI and Hello Kitty, what mod can I use to do ONLY that?

Here, I made a picture:

I happened to come across a couple of other useful file sync tools in the past week or so.

First up: Belvedere, which is a knock off of the Macintosh utility Hazel. This allows you to automate file management on a Windows based machine. Open source, GNU license.
Second: Directory Sync Pro. Similar to my previous recommendation of Copy Changed Files, this open source program will work with multiple directories simultaneously. Requires Java.
Third: Game Save Manager. This works with a host of games (including Warcraft and many Steam games) and game related programs (like Ventrilo, Teamspeak, Logitech G-series keyboard bindings) to back up and restore their settings. This is usually the most important information besides a list of installed programs to me when I reinstall Windows for the simple reason that I store most of my other information on a separate partition or drive. Free, can use 7Zip to compress backups. <sidenote>Perhaps now I can once and for all do a proper backup of my old XP install!</sidenote>.

Mega necro edit: It's been a while but I just remembered about this to update this post, but I found quite a powerful utility by Microsoft called SyncToy. I use this utility to synchronize my addons, WTF and screenshot folders painlessly, automatically and to multiple locations. SyncToy can synchronize two folders (the contents of both folders will be made identical), echo (new and updated files on source folder are copied to destination; renames and deletions are mirrored) or contribute (new and updated files on source are copied to destionation; renames mirrored; deletions are ignored in both folders). It can sync specific file types, which is useful for putting content locally on my HTPC. I sync my WTF and addon folders to Dropbox and contribute my screenshots to a folder on my home server.

I think bagnon comes with bagnon_forever addon, which does exactly that. When I mouse over an item, at the bottom of the tooltip it shows a listing of all my toons and how many of that item they have.

It shows the quantity in bank and bags for each character.

And its bagnon_forever and Bagnon_Tooltips working in tandem to provide this info. It might not be what you're looking for, but I just thought I would share the info.
