I meant, since a lot of people here have a lot of personal edits they made, it would be epic if they posted them in a package for people to download. Because the ones on Wowinterface or curse are simply not as good as you guys' edits.
I'm pretty certain that only a small percentage would actually be able to use our UI's without going insane
:/
Since they're mostly about design>function although we prioritize both.
And most people can't be bothered with helping people use their UI, hence the fact we always say it's
YOUR
UI - not ours - that you'll be playing with.

I believe your UI is amazing, and I would love to see it with tooltips, raid frames etc. to have a closer look. :]
1. How come you're writing HP and MP below your own numbers? I think the colors is enough to identify between health and mana, so you should replace it with percentage like with your target frame.
2. Why not show mana is short form like health and keep the generic form of the UI? That should probably also allow bigger combat text inside your UI.
3.Your stack font on auras are different from the ones on your abilities.
4. The "A:" on SLDatatext indicates? If it's armor, then change it to "D:" for durability.
5. Center the "Tracking" text on minimap.
6. Shouldn't the distance from bottom screen to chat, panel and minimap be the same? There's some few pixels there you can play with.
7. Center the duration text on aura (if it's possible).
Still have the old SS of your UI inside my "UI inspiration" folder, and this one is also definitly going there. /cheers
Consitency, if there's 4 texts on one frame then there's 4 texts on the other one.
He might have it truncated at 100k
Yeah, it's only bigger.
Big woop, wanna fight about it?
;)
He might prefer "Armory" over "Durability"
;)
It's centerised..?
It's a little controversial, don't you think..? We're talking 1 pixel, for a chatframe.
Are you looking at your computer screen from the side or something?

text = letters and numbers, and it would be more meaningful to have percentage than just "MP/HP". He once told me, why I would write zone above my minimap, since why would you forget zone? True, but I think the same thing applies for HP and MP.
If that's the case, then I still think he should make it truncated (new word, yeah!) for more simplicity.
No, the font is different. The one on the abilities are normal font, and the one on auras are pixel font.
I've never heard of armory, but I guess it's the same then.
Read above post.
I believe that no matter the distance, it should still be aligned.
It might be centered from left to right, but it's not exactly in the middle. :]

Figured out to edit the raid frames, here's the concept (now with even more square frames, iLive! - jk)
http://i.imgur.com/MUYj7.jpg
Just edited to fit the space i had previously though for, they dynamically resize for 10-25man but no support for 40man (don't pvp at all).
Working of tags, for the rest i'm satisfied.
Edit: it works, but it seems that frames are sized at the moment i reload the UI and then stay that size; which event should i register for a correct update without reloading the UI everytime?

Ishtara, the Unit Frames in your picture look awesome. I suppose they are your own configuration. Will you put them in your UI pack?
Nevermind, I read small text on your UI on Wowinterface. But, would the Unit Frames still work if I downloaded your UI, then only put the Unit Frames in my add-on folder? Or, is that not how it works?

1. I put the hp/mp texts below their respective values because of the treatment I used for the health bars. The healbar is always going to be different colors depending on the class its displaying. Also, I have recently decided its a tad silly to display the health and mana % as you don't particularly need that those values displayed to you in percent form on your player frame. So, as to keep it easy to differ hp from mp and not provide the % values unnecessarily, I put the HP and MP symbols under their numbers. In the future I make script it so that if you click on them the % value will appear next to them.
2. Mana is in short form sub 100k. I will most likely bump down all short forms from 100k to 50k :)
3. Actually, the sbf font and cooldown font should be the same. Stuf and sldt use a different font. It doesn't bother me though. The 8pt size of SampsonRegular that I use for most addons was larger than I preferred for the number displays I wanted on my abilities and auras. They are both simple pixel fonts though so I don't mind having the two.
*actually I just realized you probably meant the game's default font that shows the 14 for the number of pots I have. Uhm, i can see if there is a quick lua fix for that in dominos but I probably won't spend an enormous amount of time trying to change that if it proves to be complicated.*
4.The "D" by itself looked too much like an "O" and I didn't like it :) So the "A" stands for armor. (not armory)
5. ill bump the tracking text to the right a few pixels when I log on tonight <3
6. I hadn't gotten that far because I haven't decided if I want to add anymore paneling or not.
7. I assume you mean to bump them up some to be in the center of the icon. You can't see it in the screenshot, but they are in that particular spot so that when the unit frame has two rows of buffs, they line up with the time text on the buff icons. I'll try to post a screenshot of it if I remember.

I have to agree with Bellkin, but why even have so big raid frames as DPS or tank? You should minimize the size into tiny icons and place them in a cornor, IMO. But, those portraits are also useless, and you're using them with an insane size! Coldkil, are you designing an UI for raiding or for fun?

I actually meant "Armor" not "Armory"... I ask you to excuse me for every grammatical/spelling error in my previous listing
:(
edit,
Ish, why the glow on castbar..?

Would of been nice to see your target frame and ToT to be the same height as your raid frames.
Already tried that, and i didn't like the look of it. But it was before the new raid frames, so i can give it a shot at it again. Dunno how much time i will have this weekend :)
edit: pet will be updated, too.

Short answer: i do it for fun, but i raid aswell with this UI and i don't have any problem with it. Probably it's just because i'm used to them :)
Long answer: while i do it for fun, tbh i think most of the UI around are really similar, while works of people like Ish deserve all the respect i can give. The fact is that we all know what's good and bad, and i like to research and try new concepts different form the standard rectangular unitframes. I know that portratis are useless, but i just liek it this way^^
As for the raid frames, they are big for 10man, but 25man is in the same place occupying the same space so it works good. IAgain, i'm just trying to avoid the standard schemes (and i wanted a decent layout for both dps/tank and healing).

Still working on my UI (taking ages!) having some issues of where to put a pet health/mana bar frame, currently as shown on the screen it's:
focustarget - focus - player - target - targettarget
Castbars are underneath the frame, pet control bar is above the player frame and a debuff timer mod is above the target frame. Raid/party frame is at the bottom (pasted on this image with my horrid 'shop skills :P) and action bars below that. Can't think of a suitable place to put it :/
Any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Come on! You can't be serious if you don't see the Major Fluffy trippin' around on some of your pixelfonts. They're supposed to be nothin' but sharp along the edges (Along The Watch Towers heh..).
