Different/Creative and good are two completely different things. Unconfiged sexymap, xperl, wrong font sizes, combat text everywhere, and other horrible ui mishaps are not different, they are bad in design, creativity, and most of the time function.
Wigg1es man, I love ya but the argument of Creative vs Everyday is very heavily weighed in Creative's favor, and while some of the designs here may not be as creative as others, they're still well executed designs.
If I wanted @#$% all over my screen, I'd take my monitor to the monkey pen at the zoo.I'm a little confused by your Creative vs. Everyday. I might be losing something in translation. But I did say basically as much that the UIs presented here are solid in their own regard.
Anyways, I think its not beyond the realm of reason to envision UIs that are both well-designed and diverge from the typical single-action bar, horizontal unit frame layouts most often used (TigUI on WoWInterface being one that recently caught my eye).
I just think that with the talent and the know-how the posters in this thread have, there should be a more diverse catalog of designs. But then again, I guess people aren't going to go out of their way to create something they don't necessarily want to use, and if the "ordinary" is the preferred, then that's the way it is. I just might be overly idealistic.

@Krow, couldn't figure out how to fix the stats until now. It was through LUA and my note pad was being stupid. ANNNNNND I didn't steal your chat thing, its how Phanx Chat is :P
@Brokle, fixed!

@Wiggles & Brokle:
Hmm, I never said sacrificing any functionality. I believe Ish a while back linked me to a street fighter inspired ui by Led that was not minimalistic, or square but absolutely awsome.
Every thing we do as ui creators is balanced around that line of function and appeal. Everyone is different, a UI is made for you, that's a fact, but as I pointed out to MrFreeze and Plickz, some things just aren't as needed as one thinks.
@Plickz:
%^&* Phanx. I could say more, but I'd rather not. I'll simply say that his head may be a little too far up his ass.

Still working on it^^

I'm not sure about actionbars, but I'm working on my laptop so I needed space to move things around. Probably a 2x12 or a single 20-22 line will be better.
I resolved the combo points thing using a simple texture, combobar still not working for druid so this is a temporary solution.
Working on datatext now, topleft is the shapeshift bar which i will move from there as last thing :P

You're like... sitting on a throne at MMO-Champ with the rest of the idiots there. Wowhead seems to have the better creators, every time we (or at least I) go to MMO-Champ, I see UIs that make me near burst in pain.
Btw post some screenshots, I wanna see if you still have offset shadow on your target's name, your buff timer text spaced, and no outline on your totem timers.
Edit: No offence intended
I would never have learned so much without MMO-C. Taryble has helped me through a lot with my UI. I've created a lot of posts to learn about other addons and how they work etc. I wouldn't start to make UIs without seeing and trying Ishtara's UI, Vexione's UI and Nezoia's UI (they really had this umpfh!). etc. etc. The majority of MMO-C might be "less-experienced-addon-users" (let's call them this), but some of them know insanely much about addons and others really have some nice UIs.
And I don't dare showing my UI. I began yesterday to edit it, and I haven't touched it since pre-patch 4.0.1. :)
But I can understand why you would prefer Wowhead. I really like the posts and discussions here in the UI part. You seem to know each other very much? :D

Looking good. I really gotta figure out LUA.

Coldkill - I dont like the portraits there, they just look very in the way. I know you said you're doing all the work on a laptop but that would drive me crazy! The minimap also looks rather large and in an awkward place, maybe try making it smaller and/or moving it elsewhere.
Personally I would put the portraits to the left and right of my action bars respectively.
In fact, this is exactly my feeling. So i decided to do this
http://i55.tinypic.com/swfu5c.jpg
Putting them at bars' sides it's not good imho, since it cuts lots of space around unitframes.
edit: Don't mind if ufs are not perfectly pixel-aligned, ufs keep moving after i do a /reloadui. Text goes the same way, if i move 1px the frame text stays still :P

Looking better Coldkill, but lengthen the cast bars so they go right across, just my opinion! :D
I dont know whether its just the fact you blocked it out or not but the chat box looks like its longer than the Durability/Money stat bar that you have beneath it. If so, do resize >:D
Also, give me your LUA skeels.
It's the same lenght, don't worry^^
Also, my LUA skills are not so good, i just keep asking here and there XD and all here tend to help me.
edit: rofl, the black/white block is just added in paint for hiding the chat lines, it's completely transaprent

A personal example; I love the way pixel fonts look
(except for that weird one wiki uses sometimes)
when used properly, but I just can't function with them in the vast majority of cases. I need big outlined reader's digest size fonts.
You're just being mean
