Here are a few pics of my latest ui experiment. I'm still not a fan of the whole minimalist thing but as time goes by I find I am getting further and further away from wanting to have everything possible on screen (I blame all you minimalist types out there for slowly brainwashing me to your way of thinking). I think I can still free up a good amount of space on my screen. I really don't like how crowded the middle of the screen is on my ui once combat starts with the button bars and hud showing. Unfortunately I play to many alts to be able to memorize all the keybinds for them all so just hiding the bars entirely doesn't work for me (it looks much better that way but I tend to die much much much more due to pushing the wrong button).
I'm loving router54's idea of building the unit frames around the button bar so I'll definitely be trying to incorporate something like that soon.
So anyway, here are a few pics of the latest version. Any ideas on ways to rearrange things would be appreciated.
This one just to show where my debuffs sit on the left side of the hud.
In a party, with a pet, ooc. Both the player and pet health bars sit just above the map.
In a party, with pet, targeting. Player and pet health bars are up at the hud now.
This one is mainly to show the three unit frames above the map. My target is the big one in the middle. Focus is to the left of that. Target’s target is to the right.
This one is mainly to show where the castbars sit. For the ranged classes I also keep the range numbers inside the hud (the green 20-25 on the right side of the hud)

Little things:
- Change your long duration buff timers from MM:SS to MM
- Truncate some of your SLDT readouts ie: do you really need to know how much silver and copper you have?
- Hide keybind text
So after reading the hide keybind comment it occurred to me. I layout the action bar buttons to match the buttons I use on the number pad, kind of a 10-key go by feel thing, and since I don't actually look at the keys on the keyboard showing the keybinds is pretty unnesessary. I will definitely get rid of those. I don't like having all those buttons showing either. They just take up too much space and the look of them where they are clashes with the rest of the ui. I have an idea or two to change those when I get some free time.
And if I like the idea of sldt showing only gold amounts, just never thought about it. Will definitely have to change that up also.
I can't think of a reason to need to have buff times listed with seconds either. Yet another thing I hadn't thought of. I wonder what it would look like to have the time text can moved inside/on top of the buff icon itself, maybe along the bottom edge or in one of the corners.
Great input Brokle. Got me thinking. Much appreciated.

Been a while since iwe posted anything here, and worked around a bit with my current UI for my DK,
Came up with a quite nice looking result, if i may say so myself, really simple and usefull.
Ofc lacking my grid and other raid addons atm.

And my alt mage, new project. the one button UI.
works perfectly, throws round large numbers of dps, whilst beeing extremely simple. arcane is soo hard... :(

Not to be rude, but do you need feedback on 2 configured addons?
But I do find the bars to be slim and goodlooking, just hide the keybinds and place runes on a more easily viewed place. Have you considered using a UF addon?

I am using way more than 2 configured addons,
this is called post your UI thread ;D
About the UF, i have been using pitbull etc. but found them to be anoying. I cant seem to get a liking in them, and i rly think the standard ones look quite nice.
edit: tried removing text and keybinding, looks alot better. thx

Well you do know that oUF have layout similar to the standard ones, just a bit more pretty? And yes, I do understand that you use more than 2 addons, but with almost only BT and FX showing it's quite hard to know about the rest :> The thread is called "Post your UIs" but is still here for feedback and such.

Are you a lefty?
No, I mostly play on my laptop which has a numpad on it so I just got used to using the numpad. I use the left hand for the movement buttons and a few other close keybinds and the right hand on the numpad for all the actions. the only thing I use the mouse for are the rare situations when I need to quickly turn or quickly target a specific unit in a crowd (those times when tabbing thru enemies just doesn't get the job done fast enough).
I got the buff icons and associated timers tweaked last night (look much better now) and made a few more changes (button bars are in a much better place now). I'll do some final group testing after work and post some screens tonight.

Wow. Btex with no wasted space. Not sarcasm, but genuine props to you. Only things I can think to change would be:
- Another shot showing more UI elements please
- Move minimap text inside the minimap
- You have enough OOC stuff on your bars and things that can be macroed together that you could clear out enough room for a threat/damage meter if you need a home for one.
- Button skin is close enough to UF border so no probs there, but buff skin doesn't match either.
To give us the list, get pStats or something and get a shot with the mouseover.
- I'll grab a screen when I'm killing stuff.
- Minimap text will most likely stay where it is, the minimap is cluttered as it is thanks to Gatherer. ;)
- The bars is a constant work in progress, I'm only lvl 35 at the moment so it is changing every level. Macros will arrive shortly, no hurry at this point.
- Button skin and buff skin is the same, Caith via ButtonFacade. The UF border is just something I added, will probably change. Might even switch UF all together. Might pick up IceHud and stay with grid as both party and raid frame.
Thanks for the feedback! :)

Combat
Took some elements that I liked from various UI's like Wiki's, and added in my own tastes.
C&C Please.

Here is my latest version of my ui. I'm not totally comfortable with it yet but it is a whole lot better than the last version. As always, comments and suggestons are appreciated.
OOC with no target. The action bar that is visible is the one with the random crap I may use while not doing anything else.
OOC with target. The action bar that is visible now has all the on target/combat actions and is set to page to another bar for potions and whatnot
In party, with pet, OOC
In party/combat with pet I'm trying to decide if I want the minimap to disappear during combat to show the threat bars underneath or just have the threat bars show over the map.
