Can anyone help me make my WoW look like this screenshot. It's so clean and simple, and my WoW is getting quite cluttered and confusing as I'm leveling higher and learning new skills.

Only question about that shot is, if I got mine like that, would I still be able to hit 1,2,3 etc. for attacks? I don't see any numbers on those skills.

I'd recommend starting on the WoWace.com forums and browsing the flash your UI thread. Lots of them linked in there premade for you. Most, like my own, trying to remove clutter.

To your other question, yes, you can still have hotbinds on your keys if you like. That can be disabled and enabled via the config.

Yeah I had to get a new UI after my harddrives crashed and I lost all my data... (and before you say anything I did have backups... but the backup drive crashed also >_<)

Anyway, here's my new UI...

What is the name of the addon that display's money latency , time.... ?

its in both pictures :D , also , spookie , what unitframe addons are you using ? :p

Google "SLCore", it has branches you can get like clock, FPS, armour, gold, memory useage and so on. Unitframes are pitbull. Took me about 2hrs to configure them how i liked them.

And what UI are you using? Thats damn nice aswell.

Spookie's UI I guess. :p

Started off as photek but most of his addons got thrown out over two months ago!

I love the style of this UI, but have a bunch of problems. That can only be fixed if you're able to customize this UI, which I don't know if you can.

How can I get all my skills on 1 single bar at the bottom like yours? (Spookie)

How can I move the box that says my name/level/HP/mana? I'd like it more off the screen rather than almost right in the middle.

On the right side of my screen there's a box with blue line for the combat log I guess, can I remove this? And the "ClosetGnome" box?

I really like the look and simplicity of your interface Spookie, care to share how to customize mine?

One more thing, look at my chat log. I'm getting all these "SkinMe" errors, I put the AddonSkins stuff in the SkinMe folder and it ddin't fix anything. Any help out there?

First things first:

What is the add-on that has an arrow pointing you in the direction of a quest, with yards and ETA?

TomTom, or Cartographer. Comes with both addons.

I love the style of this UI, but have a bunch of problems. That can only be fixed if you're able to customize this UI, which I don't know if you can.

Nothing is "locked" per-se. You can move everything just need to know what addon is controlling said bar then finding the unlock command. :)

How can I get all my skills on 1 single bar at the bottom like yours? (Spookie)

eepanels, create a small panel and extend it so it covers the lower half of your screen. Can also use skinner but I don't like the way it looks.

How can I move the box that says my name/level/HP/mana? I'd like it more off the screen rather than almost right in the middle.

If I'm correct. Thats AG_U(nit)F(rames). I have used them in the past and they are much more approachable than pitbull (in short it's a wall of text and variables). Try installing Deuse commander (spelling?). It'll give a drop downlist of all the addons installed that it can help you configure. That will let you adjust the layout without having to use the chat config.

On the right side of my screen there's a box with blue line for the combat log I guess, can I remove this? And the "ClosetGnome" box?

Unlock EEPanels, hover over the bar to find the number, then go to it's config screen and remove it. :)

I really like the look and simplicity of your interface Spookie, care to share how to customize mine?

Pfft... Trial and error? :blush:

But seriously most of mine was put together by breaking down popular UIs. By moving things about, working out what made something look like the way it did, installing it and having a go at configuring it to how I liked it.

With the addons you have installed now, you can get close to replicating mine. Just try messing about with EEpanels placing them where you'd like them and so on.

I'll work on zipping mine up and getting it working.

One more thing, look at my chat log. I'm getting all these "SkinMe" errors, I put the AddonSkins stuff in the SkinMe folder and it ddin't fix anything. Any help out there?

Ignore them for the time being :)

Planning on getting into WoW on my birthday LOL. How long does it usually take before you get addicted to this?

If you are starting out then try get a partnership with someone else going quickly, as the first 40ish levels are pretty dull imo. Try find a nice social guild for the chit chat so that you aren't questing in silence too. Shouldn't take long to get addicted to it though. Unfortunately now, the real fun starts 60+ as most guilds are now in the outlands doing the content there. So that means you will also need to get the Burning Crusade expeansion pack.

Levelling recently got buffed to make things faster, ie less xp needed and more xp given :)

I have a concern.

When I buy the game today or tomorrow, will I easily find people to be in a party with? For quests/instance runs etc. ? I usually have to run up to random people I see grinding to see if they want to party up and do something. I get pretty good results like that, too. Also, how do I find a guild? Just ask around town?

Just wondering.

it may be tough but I say go on a new server with a low population where there be newbies that will need groups or I say wait till the next expansion when you get alot of people for groups but thing is most of them will be 70.

Just a question, having just recently upgraded my laptop, I would of expected better frame rates in fights.

Previous machine I was running was a Centrino 1.7 1 gig of DDR2 and an X700 64 meg. Would run things on middle settings and get about 10-15fps in Shatt 25-30 fps during fights.

Now have 1.66 Core2 Duo 2 gig of DDR2 and a 512meg 8600GS in the laptop. I have put things up to max and within Shatt im hitting about 40fps which is nice. But in raid fights im just managing to get about 25-30 :s

I'm guessing maybe checking for driver updates might give a bit more performance or does this sound about right?

Also was previously running XP now running Vista Home Premium.

I got the 10-day free trial, made a guy, starting killing. Then I saw guys with yellow !'s above their head, clicked em. Oh, they give you quests, I've played a game like this before, I'll try it...

BOOM! addicted. Level 34 Gnome Mage. A few blues, did my first BG the other day. Had no idea what was going on, still don't. 14 honor points!

It's weird though, maybe someone else feels as I do. Sometimes I wanna play so bad, then I hop on and grind out 3 levels for hours and hours. Other times I have no desire to go on. It's almost like, you know you have some long ass runs ahead of you, and some frustrating grinding, so I'm stressing myself into not playing. O_o

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
