I know there's IceHUD (but iceroth doesn't consider what player are asking), i also know about ArcHUD, but i don't know, it just doesn't fit and has bugs.
I would really love to see a real HUD working with all the ace goodies like SharedMedia (for textures, sounds and so on) for example
Seriously, outline what you consider to be a real HUD? Be aware that someone may go on your suggestion however don't hold your breath. The devs here are doing this in their spare time and have lives outside of coding and WoW to deal with. Otherwise learn to code and make this yourself.

This is a cry for help, people - and Kyron's right! We need better housing and urban renewal in World of Warcraft: [color=red]act today!
OK here's what I'm thinking - we get together a subcommittee, nothing fancy, just say 30 or so of the most important members of the various established official committees, and first thing's first we'll need an agenda, some ideas, another acronym - HUD, yeah, but we need something more modern with today's gaming community; they don't respond to onomatopoaeic new-2k phrasology without some zing, you get me? - then I propose we nominate the Secretary as Kyron, Undersecretary as well hey it'd be nice to give Tuller a chance here, and cladhaire was made for Chair, at least to start with. OK! Fantastic, great work guys! I'm really psyched about this, are you? Yeah! Now let's ramp up the pace now and really wow everyone! Great.

Woah, did u made this post alone ?

I guess making a suggestion here is subject to flame,
You never really say what you want though. You say that IceHud is bad because the author doesn't take suggestions, you say that ArcHud has bugs and is too big. Then you say you want a "real HUD working with all the ace goodies like SharedMedia (for textures, sounds and so on)"
But, you were not clear in expressing the faults with ArcHud, that make it "too big". And you never explicitly state what a "real HUD" is. If you want to make suggestions for an author to pick up, be very explicit with what you want or we won't be able to code a damn thing for you.
I guess making a suggestion here is subject to flame,
Nope. But your post wasn't a suggestion or addon request, any more than I'd consider this a request to a chef:
"I'm looking for food. Real food. I know there's meat, but it doesn't taste the way I want it to. And I know about pasta, but I don't like how it tastes either, and something is wrong with the sauce on it.
I'd like some food that has everything I want, like good flavor for example."
Without any specific idea what was wrong with the pasta or meat, or what you're actually looking for, no chef is going to be able to whip up your favorite food. And no chef in their right mind would even try. You could be craving soup, or maybe you want ice cream - how are we to know?

I had to fight to contain my LOL'edness sitting here in my studio between students... :P
Considering making a HUD myself. DHUD makes me a little uneasy (its code is god-awful ><) and I hate IceHUD's and ArcHUD's look and layout. Though to be honest I'm not entirely sure where to start. I've done plenty of coding for WoW so far but all were personal projects added to over a long span of time. Starting something as major as a fully-featured HUD addon is a bit overwhelming.
If I do get around to it soon I'll let you know. I doubt it'll be an Ace2 addon, but I will offer things like several different look and layout options, and perhaps even Threat-1.0 compatible threat display. Though don't expect it any time soon. =/
I'm looking into making a HUD that's a bit of a mix between IceHUD and gHUD over on curse, but significantly more configurable. I like the idea of using SharedMedia, does anyone know if you can get curved bars from it?
Each bar within a module is customizable by itself, and when ace3 is ready i see submodules in their future.
Player and Target bars would be full size.
ToT, ToToT, Focus, and Pet bars would all be 1/2 size.
Party bars would all be 1/4 the size of regular bars (check out gHUD for a pic)
Of course that is just default and their sizes and positions will be changeable.
With buffs you're really running out of room for a HUD so at most everything but target would only have castable buffs and dispellable debuffs.
Bar text could be aligned: [Top | Bottom | Value][Left | Right]
Where value is aligned with the current amount of the bar. Or maybe even unlocked the text to be moved wherever. It could even use DogTags.
Please give any thoughts on this setup including anything to add or remove, even possible names.
There is only one thing i would save from IceHUD, it's the Target Info part, currently as i have no alternative i'm using IceHUD but with all bars hidden, only the Target Info part is shown, the way it displays informations and especially target's buffs/debuffs is just perfect.
Unfortunately as it doesn't use SharedMedia it's impossible to have its texture match the textures all other ace addons use.
About curved bars well, imo a good start would be vertical and horizontal bars, cuz i don't think it's possible to curve SharedMedia textures.
Maybe not curve, but apply the textures? I'm definitely going to have vertical and horizontal bars and the target frame a la IceHUD, but the info, buffs, and debuffs will be separable.

Did i say the contrary ?
Wait a sec, what's this section name, let's see, oh yeah ADDONS IDEAS AND REQUESTS, well, this is one isn't it ?
So instead of flaming, well, you should like you say: "have life outside of wow"...
Thanks.

Curse PremiumEach bar within a module is customizable by itself, and when ace3 is ready i see submodules in their future.
So far I'm considering the following modules:
Player: Health, Mana, Cast
Target: Health, Mana, Cast, Buffs, Debuffs, TargetInfo (name/guild/etc)
TargetOfTarget: Health, Mana, Cast
TargetOfTargetOfTarget: Health, Mana, Cast
Focus: Health, Mana, Cast
Pet: Health, Mana, Cast
Party: P1health, P1Mana, P1Cast, ..., P4Cast
Player and Target bars would be full size.
ToT, ToToT, Focus, and Pet bars would all be 1/2 size.
Party bars would all be 1/4 the size of regular bars (check out gHUD for a pic)
Of course that is just default and their sizes and positions will be changeable.

I'll try my hand at some ascii art:

They need their health, mana, and cast bars too. :)
I knew I forgot something because the layout wasn't clicking right in my head, I've updated my first post.
Ah yes, you see, you have to wait for the clicking! Always the clicking. Click. Click. Click. In your head. Click.
Unfortunately as it doesn't use SharedMedia it's impossible to have its texture match the textures all other ace addons use.
About curved bars well, imo a good start would be vertical and horizontal bars, cuz i don't think it's possible to curve SharedMedia textures.
