Managed to make a start on my
UI revamp
(
and again, Photobucket has shrunkified the picture; original size is 1280*1024
).
But you keep on using it and you won't even bother to actually upload it on a site that doesn't #$%^ with the images?

I really like this. Thumbs up on a good concept.
Ok, time to unleash the critiques, and crush my spirit :P
I would, but I'm pretty sure Krow will. :D

Well, it was more due to convenience, as the page was already open,
but if you insist...

Well I must say that I do insist, comparing that little image to what it would really look like is just ridiculous.
Now as you posted a new picture;
I don't like square unitframes. Either
###
### or ######
### ######
###
is much better of you ask me.
I think the buff layout is...
how to put it
... random. I don't think it'll look any good with few auras active.
The font isn't very pleasing neither, but that's more of a taste question me thinky.
You're using a buttonskin that makes your buttons look a bit glossy/bulky, try using something for a similar effect on your bartextures.
You have shadowing on your target's healthtext.
Timestamp is not very nice. Seconds is quite redundant and bracket-formatting is quite ugly.
Hide keybinds, if you're a clicker you won't have to them and if you play with keybinds you should know them by now.
You have outline on some fonts, and some lack it. Why?

Fine by me, this is the first time I'm trying square unit frames, so I'll see how it goes.

There I totally agree with you; any suggestions? I'm thinking possibly down either side of the screen, but I welcome advice borne of experience.
The font isn't very pleasing neither, but that's more of a taste question me thinky. Again true, the font I'm currently using is just a placeholder, while I look for ones I'd want to use.
You're using a buttonskin that makes your buttons look a bit glossy/bulky, try using something for a similar effect on your bartextures. I shall also look into that. Either a nice bar texture that works with it, or just reducing the glossiness of the buttons
You have shadowing on your target's healthtext.

Thanks for pointing it out to me. I guess my brain zoned out when sorting out the texts for the various unitframes, and forgot to make sure that everything was uniform.
Timestamp is not very nice. Seconds is quite redundant and bracket-formatting is quite ugly. Will get on that next time I log in.
Hide keybinds, if you're a clicker you won't have to them and if you play with keybinds you should know them by now. Yet another thing I overlooked :P
Thanks for the critique, I shall get to work on the points mentioned at the earliest opportunity.

@Carusun: It looks like you're trying to jigsaw-design the UI. I'm not diggin' it.

I think you can do something better with nibpointdisplay. If I'm not mistaken, that's the default setup.
Its extremely flexible, so take advantage of that. Do something wild!

I did mention that I'd taken inspiration from Coldkil back on my original post (when I was posting a mockup, rather then the actual thing)

... and The Snuggie is a rip-off...Everything is a ripoff, or at least everything that makes money. Ingenuity is dead.
10 million people buy a &*!@ing Snuggie but no one knows about portable water purifiers that cost less than $15 that desperately need to be provided to as many people as possible in the developing world. And let's not get started on Silly Bands...
Sorry. I hate capitalism.

I love these forums^^
Unfortunately i'll be back only sunday evening, and when i'll be home i think i'll rush to 85 XD
@carusun: square UFs are "meh" in my opinion. My UI is just the result in experimenting and testing my limited lua skills, so i can improve it.
I like them anyway, but most of it is due to the fact they are my work, and i'm proud of it even if it's not at an high level. Also, i think UIs now need some fresh air, since i think my last work has been appreciated mostly because it was a new concept while respecting the "do's and don't" of a good interface.
Critics ahead: your UI could have been good, but there are way too much things on the screen. Also unit frames are too much big.

Thanks for the critique; I've recently found a font that is easily read at smaller sizes, so I'll try using that font + reducing the size of the unit frames and see how that deals with the clutter issue. And I'll have another pass over what I feel I need to have access to on the screen, and what I feel I can do away with.
Also, thanks for the inspiration :) You might not be a big fan of the concept, and I may be murdering it (and UI's in general), but it's the best way to improve!
One final note; I can anchor a panel to an actionbar button, but is there a way to make it only show up if there is an ability placed in that button? I'm assuming, if there is, it'll be script related, but I have no clue about scripting whatsoever.
