Anyone know what he uses to get the gloss on his buttons? Is it in Bartender/Dominos, or is it a standalone addon?

Whatever floats your boat means whatever you think is good/bad/whatever.
pHishr's comment wasn't just his opinion, its actually based on design principle.
Pixel / bitmap fonts are not designed the same way common serif and san serif fonts are designed. Pixel fonts must be displayed as certain point sizes that change depending on the display resolution.
It isn't about anyone's boat floating or sinking or racing or smacking into a killer whale.
Its good design practice that your pixel fonts be the correct point size.
If you look @ the screenshot you posted, your font size for grid is allowing your font to appear very sharp and crisp.
If you look @ the font size on your unit frames, the characters are all fuzzy and blurred on the edges.
This is due to them being an incorrect size.

Do you know which ButtonFacade specifically is it? I'm currently using Entropy, but that one looks pretty good.
Also, having a bit of trouble with Pitbull 4. I managed to get the portraits done up, but now my health bar doesn't show any numbers, just my name. How do I get it to show both the actual health and the percentage of health?

You don't need a specific skin in order to have the gloss. Just go into the buttonfacade config window and change the gloss meter.
And to display both would be "Absolute and Percent"

Casting
In combat
I know it's ugly and the chatbox overlaps with a bunch of stuff but it's fairly easy to use and much more functional than the base UI.
Here's a list of the addons I use
AtlasLoot
Bartender
Deadly Boss Mods
FuBar
MapCoords
Omen Threat Meter
Prat 3.0
Quartz
QuestHelper
RatingBuster
Recount
ScrollingCombatText
TipTac
X-Perl
Yury's RuneDisplay
isnt it spartan UI?
It is indeed Spartan UI.
Yeah, I forgot about it because I copied the list out of my Curse Client, and it isn't listed in that. I've edited the post now.

Here's my UI
http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2662/wowscrnshot061709163049.jpg
Please comment on it!
Hm. The first thing that came to my mind was that everything was off-centre. The cast bar is almost centred, but not quite. I'd move a little more to the left.
The placement of your action bars is rather strange, and I would recommend centering it (maybe that's just me). Also, you don't really need to see your bag bar and character panel bars, so you could just hide them.
Last thing - the damage meter looks rather out of place. If you centred the action bars, you would have space for the damage meter in the bottom right corner of your UI.
Hope that helps. (:
@Cloud8690: Thanks for the help with Pitbull!

Comments would be much appreciated - it's definitely still a WIP. Any suggestions for good chatbox frames would be awesome. The 2 bars on the right are set at 50% opacity so that you know they're there - I usually keep them at 0% faded opacity, so that if I need them, I can just mouseover the area and they'll pop up. I also need to work on minimizing the number of action bars I have displayed - hopefully I'll be able to hit a point when I can just keybind most of my things and hide them.
By the way, does anyone know how to make an action bar clickthrough with Dominos (ie if I click on it nothing happens)?
EDIT: Also, I need to find a good place to put my aura bar (currently on the left of my unit frame). Any suggestions?

1) Most of the middle-right actionbar can be replaced by addon called PallyPower. Will solve your aura bar troubles too.
2) Important things in UI go where your eyes are, and that usually is lower-center of the screen. Currently the minimap occupies a prime spot right there, do you really use it that much?
3) Your primary cooldowns (strikes, taunts, trinkets) are off-side and very low at the moment, refer to second point.
4) Combat log. In my experience, it's just something to fill unused space in UI. Get rid of it.

I'll be sure to check out PallyPower - never heard of it before, but it'll most likely solve some of my action bar space issues.
Hm...idk about the minimap. I might move it back to the top right corner, but for now I'll leave it there. Time will tell whether I mind or not (or if I need the space for more useful things).
I have MSBT, so whenever any of my primary skills/trinkets cools down, it flashes up near the centre of my screen, so I guess I don't really have to worry about that.
For the combat log, that sounds like good advice. I probably won't need it until I hit 80 (and even then, maybe not).
Thanks!

Desperately looking for advice what to do with the top half, the buffs. Maybe I should just fill up the left lower side with the buff bars + PallyPower?

I am very fond of this setup. On the left half of the screen you have a warrior targetted (perhaps focused) with macros above his info. What is the addon allowing this?
And what addon are you using for your Clock, Tracking, etc? SLDT?
Overall, love the UI. Too many people have way too much going on and don't look at 95% of it while damaging. Yours is beautiful (as is mine, imo) as it is very simple and clean.
Focused, yes. Just dragged a Bartender4 bar over focus frame, and set custom visibility conditions "show;hide" (thanks to these forums ;) ).
Yep, SLDT.
I build my UIs with three things in mind: 1) What is the status of my character and main cooldowns? 2) What is going on around me? 3) How is my group doing? Everything else is not that important, and can be hidden/slapped in a corner somewhere.
PS It gets worse in combat - I have PowerAuras monitoring various procs :)

What kind of Addon, creates the lines between the unit frames, the action bars, etc. ?
