I tried using Emblem as part of my UI but it doesn't have bold/italic/bolditalics. But it's numbers are very nice and clear.
The images are very nice. As Phanx said I'm not sure about the borders, but I'm an anti-border kinda guy - the reason why I use skinner.
Also not sure parchment type textures squared off so severely like that really work. It looks strange to me, maybe some sort of fade out round the edge would be better?
Otherwise very nice, would much prefer it over the default UI. But it seems to 'fit in' with the World of Warcraft styling more than skinner does. Skinner does cover everything in the same UI mod/gradients, so your UI can get a bit homogeneous with it. While seems somewhat this more unique and varied.

1. With the next teaser I'll change the top post with smaller thubnails.
2. Sorry fot that, thank you for putting it in a own thread
Malice, Yes I'll release it in two stages. one for testing, one for everyone.
cg, yes it's Emblem
Scae, I know skinner and did'nt like it. Thats why I started doning this in the first place. But it's mutch work.
I might change the border to something smaller, And remove the ones not realy needed.
If any off you have some texture / border that you think looks better than the ones I made, please pm me or let me know in this thread. I'll be happy to try it and see what it looks like.
Gorgeous job. I always loved changing the look, but I hated skinner. I'll be proud to add these to my collection when you are done with them. Really, really nice job,
Yes, very nice work. I too don't like using skinner, this would be very nice to have please please please upload :P
also How did you go about doing this? Ive always thought about making my own but don't really know exactly how to go about doing it. I know i need to make the correct files and put them in a folder called dialog box but dont you have to make the images certain ways?
I know that much, but dont you have to make the border all weird? like have an image for the border but have all the border pieces layed out in the image so they load correctly in wow. Ill just have to give it a go and look around i guess. Again though great work i love the matte finish of all the textures.
I absolutely love it! I for one don't mind the border.
I have no idea how it works, so what would happen if someone uses an addon that changes the default ui frames like fx auctioneer?
I don't mean the art, but the shape and size.
Flare Yes I noticed this with DoubleWide addons.
I'm planning on making art for the stuff I use in the UI as well.
Depending on the ammount off requests once done, I'll do them to
For a UI Pack this is certainly nice, but please dont try to be Skinner²
This is custom blp that goes into your interface folder, not your addons folder. It's not an addon at all but an image in place of the images that blizzard uses.

Thanks Atallicus,
Matrix110 if you did read page 1, you might have read that I don't like skinner. And all images are made with Photoshop.
unlike Skinner that overlays them with a gradient.
And if I make extra images. for the support of addons they would go in that addon folder, and overwrite the addon textures.
Camma I didnt mean that, sorry if you misunderstood, your Art is looking nice, but Skinner is on of the biggest junk collections on WoWAce as it includes 1 or more files for almost every AddOn even if you dont use 200 of them.
If you plan to do it by replacing the Art in the AddOn Folder itself it certainly is better :)

2. This thread is for sharing screenshots of your UI, not discussing your UI modification project. I'm splitting your post off into its own thread.
3. I don't like the heavy, lined square borders, but the rest of it looks nice.
By the way, what font is that?

that is Blizzards Addonkit, use the Extrakt all Art function. Than you know what images there are and what folder to put them in.
use http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6127-BLP2PNG.html to convert the blp to png & back.
