Searching for testers for my Holy Paladin UI

I am searching for Holy Paladins with a 1920 x 1080 screen who would like to help me by testing a new UI release: iLive user interface v4.3. I am almost finished with editing this version, and soon I will release it on Wowinterface, but I need to make sure everything works before I make a new step with the release. Just download the UI and try it out in dungeons, raids etc. and report back what you thinnk. I will appreciate any kind of suggestion.
First, I need to explain how the UI works, because it's a very different way I've chosen to work my action bars as you can see inside this screenshot here. I have 3 invisible bars that appears when a mouse hovers them: main bar (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), aura bar (Devotion Aura, Crusader Aura, etc.) and others bar (buffs, ressurect, mount etc.). I want to keep the UI simple, so I've hidden bars with abilities that doesn't necesarily need to be seen, because it's not used inside combat or because I got it keybinded already and it has no cooldown. I have 3 visible bars too: 2 small ones (left and right) and 1 big (middle). These bars contains abilities which are used inside combat. The middle bar has abilities from main bar (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) that has cooldown, so we know when it's ready. This includes Holy Shock, Holy Radiance and Judgement. You can see the UI with all bars visible here. I've listed my keybindings below so it might make better sense on how I deal with my abilities.
----------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTION AND CONFIGURATION
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Download
iLive user interface.rar from here
, and replace the folders inside with the folders inside your WoW folder.
2. Open the "WTF" folder and rename the following:•ACCOUNTNAME ---> to your account's name.
•ServerName ---> to your server's name.
•CharacterName ---> to your character's name.
3. Start the game (mark "Load out of date" in addon list).
4. Choose original videos settings, and take the UI scale to the lowest point (0.64).
5. Enter "/reflux switch iLive" in-game.
------------------------------------------
QUESTION AND ANSWERS
------------------------------------------
How do I see raid frames for battleground and 25 mans raiding?
This interface is made for 10 player mode, so whenever you're joining a group with more people than 10, it will only show party 1 and 2. Whenever I am in a battleground or 25 man raid, I just use Blizzard's raid frames.
How do I see buffs and debuffs on my target?
I've disabled it, but if you need it, you can enable it by entering PitBull and enabling Aura in Modules.
How do I see calender, clock and tracking?
You hover the minimap for clock, right click for tracking and middle click for calender.
I need more bars for my abilities!
I explained up there how I manage my abilities, and if you check the screenshot you can see there's 2 hidden bars that only appears when you hover them with your mouse.
I can't see the normal red text (not enough mana, not ready yet etc.), why?
Leatrix Text is a simple addon that removes many useless spam information (important are still shown), and it does this in order to make less disturbance. You can choose for youself what it should hide through its configurations (/ltx). You can delete or turn off the addon if you don't want these settings.

Might help if you posted a screen shot of what it looks like.
For all we know it could be a big screen full of unicorns having relations with dragons.

DLing NAOW!

Only a slight gripe: I would never use a mod that requires me to modify the WTF folder. And I would rather see it hosted on CurseForge if it is still beta or Curse if it is close to release.

I am sorry, I don't know what I was thinking, but it doesn't matter anyway, because I have released the UI:

...installing your UI wiped my general macros and keybindings, despite backing up my WTF folder. Great.

All of your macros and other stuff that's saved client-side is saved in your WTF folder. Put yours back in if you want you stuff back.

Maybe it wasn't clear when I said "despite backing up my WTF folder," but I did that.
Macros and keybindings are stored on the server, and on the client, but the client is authoritative. If you log in to WoW from a new PC (without binds or macros) your old keybindings and macros are preserved from the server. However, if you log in with a new set of bindings and macros client-side, this set is uploaded to the server and overwrites the existing set.
Since this PC wasn't my original PC, the general macros and bindings were never located on this machine, the server was always authoritative. When I logged in with his UI setup it overwrote the server settings. In order to get my settings back I actually had to go to my old PC and get the keybindings and macros. Well, most of the macros, anyway.
He really just needs to pull the key-bindings and macros out of his download.
EDIT: To clarify, I believe the most recent set of macros and binds are authoritative, not necessarily client over server. I believe client is authoritative if date/time matches.

Already done. And I thought copying the files from the your WTF would be enough to maintain macros. Well, I am sorry you lost your macros though, but I hope the UI makes up for it? :]

Thankfully I recovered my macros and bindings, I just had to dig up my old PC to get them. No harm done.
I didn't get to play with the UI much last night, but one thing I noticed is the player and target health bars do not appear to be fully functional unit frames (above the visible action bars, and on either side of the Aura buttons)? I can only mouseover portions of them to activate a mouseover macro, for example.
I'll probably have a little more time to play with it tonight.

I really like the fact that it's lightweight, but I will NEVER use any add-on that require me to modify files in my WTF folder. I may give it a try eventually, and it's not that I don't trust you, it's just by principle. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use those variables for anyway ?

@Slipshadow
That seems odd. Is those macros used through Clique by any chance? Because I've disabled Clique to work with unit frames (player, target, pet, target's target and focus). Or perhaps it's because of the kgPanels overlaying itself with the unit frames?
@hawke
SavedVariables? I am sure that's the folder containing the profiles for the different addons. This is not TukUI with one addon made with .lua that customises itself to your screen etc. This is a package with a lot of different addons made by other users that requires profiles to save settings. I am also sure this is a standard method of sharing custom made interfaces, and I've never heard anything about problems with interfaces requiring you edit your WTF.
I fully understand you want to be secure, but I am not sure how I am able to convince you that I don't try to do anything. Well I have 15.000 downloads and never have I experienced any problems related to such thing, and I got my comments on Wowinterface and my posts on MMO-C to proof that, but if there's any way to share an UI more securely (if it is un-safe to share in the method I am using), I will definitly consider that.

Its not a security issue as much as a configuration issue because properly designed modern mods don't require doing anything to the WTF folder. Especially if people like using other mods where "installing" this will make for some serious incompatibility issues with a lot of mods.
You are basically telling us "Its not a bug, its a feature" which I find an unimpressive stance to take compared to other wow add ons.

Nope, I do not use clique. It's a basic WoW mouseover macro.
The problem seems to be that the player and target frames do not extend across the entire length of their health bar. I'll /framestack when I get home to be sure it's not just an overlapping panel.
