UI
Event Horizon
saedo — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 18:29
This is my blog post advertising/endorsing this addon I'm using now. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11935-EventHorizon.html
Saedo's UI 3.2 So Event Horizon would be the bars I have in the middle of my screen now. What it does is provides a live moving bar for buffs/debuffs you'd be interested in.
Like right now, the top bar is my SnD, the white line you see going down represents "now" in time. Visually I have to just watch the bar approach "now" and refresh it before that.
The 4th bar you see is my Rupture, with little white lines representing the tick. In other words, a visual tick/dot timer.
So what's good about all this is that you can watch events as they happen, instead of staring at numbers. To better optimize your dps rotations.
It also provides a GCD indicator when you hit your buttons to better not get locked like that.
What I've also added are my trinket buffs, which are the 2nd and 3rd bars. Along with that, I've set up the Internal CD which is represented by the darkened bars. That way I can further adjust my attacks if I see ICDs winding down and fire away during procs.
Anyways, the cons of this mod is that it's not very GUI friendly. All the settings must be written out in the LUA files, and they kinda get overwritten when you update mod via stuff like WoWMatrix.
But it's pretty easy to set up. I've adjust mines for colors, 10 sec timelines, and trinkets (not in by default).
Anyways, this ends my speel. Here's the youtube vid they provided to see it in action:
g_UI-4.9 with explanation

A quick explanation of what's going on in here, since multiple people have asked recently.
- Bartender 4 - All you'll ever need to manage your bars including custom size, buttons per row, opacity and placement. The Bartender4 bar that is in the upper left of my screen I use to watch my important cooldowns with CoolDownCount. It's near grid and my unit frames.
- ButtonFacade - Most new Ace3-based addons don't skin themselves. Instead they make a call out to ButtonFacade to handle the "pretty". I use a ButtonFacade skin called "Adamantite". There are literally dozens you can choose from and, most importantly, turn off when you're not using them thus resulting in much less memory usage.
- SimpleMiniMap - Makes it very easy to move and adjust your map. Add and remove buttons, skin it, etc.
- Ora2 raid cooldown location. I look here (usually) to figure out which druid has a rebirth available.
- This entire black box, the box around my action bars and the slightly transparent bar around my grid are all from eePanels2.
- PallyPower - This is just one way to configure the look of PallyPower on your screen. This is why everyone in raid always has their pally buffs, this mod monitors all the buffs for each class that we've been assigned. Run a pug sometime with 4 pallys that don't use PallyPower and let me know if you get the right buffs ;)
- BigWigs message alert location.
- BigWigs boss timer bars. Bars with longer time left I keep out of my line of sight to the lower right. Bars that are about to pop, I keep within my line of sight to the upper left.
- Ora2 main tank windows. I prefer to see Main Tank, MT's target and MT's target's target.
- Chat windows modified and improved by Chatter. I like it better than Prat since it's much lighter and simpler.
- ClassTimers shows me my buffs so I might act upon them when they pop.
- Grid. Duh.
- When I set a focus, their target shows up here.
- Focus target shows up here, complete with very visible cast bars and buffs.
- Quartz casting bar goes here. It is my opinion that heales should have their cast bar as close to their raid frames as possible.
- Pitbull player frame. I have this highly customized to give me just the info I need. With a custom skin provided by MediaLib :)
- PitBull target frame. Also highly customized for the info I need.
- PitBull target of target.
- PitBull target of target's target.
- Fubar - the Bat Man utility belt of WoW. Everyone should have it. It's also on the bottom of the screen.
- DuraTek - simple durability tracker
- ReagentFu - watches my reagents
- AuldLangSyne guild plugin for FuBar. A great way to see everyone in guild by just mousing over.
Help me with my UI

my ui - piss poorOk, lets try this. I'm terrible at actually integrating all my adds and making great looking displays like I've seen so many of you with. Does anyone want to take me step by step on vent and help me organize this mess. It works this way and I've been using it like this for a long time - but in the interest of cleaning it up - I'd like to go further. I might even be able to squeak out a bit more efficiency
