I think it was definitely harsh, but he wants us to criticize his UI but expects us to ignore a poor unit frame choice just because he likes it. I think it shows his taste. He expected a straightforward answer, and I gave him one, harsh or not.
Taste or lack of being able to configure a better addon.
It's either taste or laziness. Either way, it's still a bad addon, and a bad UI.
Pitbull4, ag_UnitFrames and a half dozen good oUF layouts make it too easy to have something that actually looks good.

Now if you don't tell me the joke, I shall hit you properly.
Not my style, but better than most.

My UI
Inspired by alot of people and i mean alot...
Chat text is horrible. Buffs/Debuffs are too big. Otherwise it's fine.
Changed it a bit
I like it a lot, but maybe that's because it's a lot like mine =p
A few minor things:
SCT fonts (two, and the "Diablo" one is annoying, but that's just opinion).
Chat frame font. Remove shadow. Add a backdrop or something if you like it that way, I don't. Backdrop on mouseover, otherwise clear.
Your bars, "Debilitate" and Casting, aren't using the same texture.

Okay since you guys are evil I tried a
little
to redo my UI, very minor changes, xperl to pitbull3 (I hate pitbull4) and reduced the size of my bars ever so slightly
Combat
OOC
some questions though, can I tone down the status highlighting? or will I have to disable it? also any way to get normal elite/boss frames on pitbull3 borders instead of just a slim gold border?
Every so slightly apparently wasn't enough. Bars are still way to big.
Hide your micro menu and learn the keybindings for them. And hide your bags to. Shift+B will open them all, or just B if you have a bag addon.
Minimap is pretty big.
Preference, bug the green color on the unit frames is horrid.
Cloud hit a lot of the nails on the head. Follow his suggestions and see where it gets you.

Hmm, it's probably the Friz Quadrata TT font then, I'm not 100% because I've it since then, to try out some other fonts >_<.
What happened is you downloaded some addon compilation that added custom Font folder into your WoW directory. Friz Quadrata TT and Arial are the names of the default fonts. Most common way to change fonts in entire UI is renaming custom fonts to those that blizzard uses. You would have to actually go into that Font folder and open each .ttf file and read the name up top to see what font it actually is.

im lookin to change my UI a bit .. any suggestions?
Too many bars. You don't need all those buttons.
Get a different buff/debuff addon or configure that one so it's more aesthetically pleasing.
Hide your micro menu.
You're level 80, why do you have an exp bar at the top?
Power bar on your UF is too big, imo.
Chatbox too wide.
Panels at the bottom are a bit ugly, but preference I suppose.
Boxes next to your buffs are just floating there.
And carbonite?

SBF is a good Buff/Debuff addon. And by more aesthetically pleasing, I mean nicer looking.

so ive spent the past hour and a half or so tweaking with my ui with your suggestions cloud
http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll61/dementia42202/?action=view¤t=WoWScrnShot_073109_140255.jpg
a little better? i tried to make the runic power bar on pb3 smaller but it would make the health bar look kind of .. odd.. anyway to make the actual player frame smaller in height and not just the ratio of health to runic?
anyways let me know what you think :)
Without looking at your previous SS's:
Clear up your bars.
Lock ForteExorcist, to remove the anchor.
Remove swing timer from Quartz, look wiered with it floating on top of your UF
Remove the black blocks, might be preference but its mostly just in the way. Guessing you use it as background, which also can be done with kgPanels.
FuBar ? Why?

Place rarely used spells/items on a fade-out bar.
Learn keybind and plays the binded spells on the same, also faded, bar. For example, cooldowns.
Are you using eePanels? Thought it was BottomBar...
From what I know they are pretty much the same, kgP is based on eeP as far as I know, so correct me if im wrong :).
FuBar, feels like wasted space and from my view: It looks like crap. Get SLDT or a similar addon instead, does the same thing with more flexibility.

The addon you're asking about is called SLDT for minimalistic status text.
I'd get rid of EBB, I'd stick to just the buffs on IceHUD, or get rid of IceHUD buffs, and use SBF.
The Blizzard frame you're referring to is your tooltip, and the addon TipTac is the best alternative.
Also, reduce the number of bars you have dramatically, and reduce their size, "OPie" is a great addon for things like mounts, food, etc.
Give those a shot and see where you're at.
took your advice, i think it looks a whole lot better. got myself down to 2 action bars, swapped elk for sbf, decided to delete fubar for sldt. i like the way it looks around the icehud, personally, others might not.
haven't gotten a chance to do a raid screen yet -- i'll get that asap; the grid extends to the right edge of the screen when full, and when omen/recount show during combat, they appear next to each other right above grid.
sct(d) and dbm are also working the same as they were before.
taken just after getting my argent mount =) further feedback?

oh damn ... didnt even think about using fade out bars... thats awsome haha :P
and yea its eepanels2 .. just a big black box in eepanels to get the ghetto widescreen look lol :P
SLDT whats the name of it? never heard of it so i dont know the acronym and not sure what to search for under curse ..
thanks for your input :D
SL Data Text
Since I dont use eeP myself, and never done. I cant tell you how to work with it, but if you split it up to smaller parts and placing them behind the things that need a background.
