I use Poppins. It fully supports ButtonFacade, including the popup buttons, and you can actually use it to recast totems in combat. I'm not sure what you're looking for as far as customization, though, and I believe TotemTimers has actual bar timers, so Poppins might not do what you're looking for.
Har. Thanks for the time. I'll try it out. And I just dl a TotemTimer (and that specific one) for the first time today and I really didn'y like the actual timer bars.
EEEK! my eyes, my poor defenceless eyes..
Big warning sign on that one Sad
I know... its horrid, terrible, disgusting. I abhor it and it churns my stomach and I'm sooo glad that my UI never looked even close to that.
I'm still wondering what a script would be to make 2 eepanels show only in raid (not arena or a less then 6 man raid) would be. I can't figure it out from the script FAQ on wowace so any help is appreciated.
Keybindings are your friend! (You can just keybind it all and then hide it, or with KeyBound just bind it directly in the spellbook.) Also stuff like clique frees up a lot of actionbars.
Where can I find this "Keybound" you speak of... WANT!
Just wondering Phanx. Poppins actually has a timer for the totems even if it doesn't show a bar correct?
And can u hide poppins until Mouseover (even the anchor button). And can you bind a key to open the pop up menu like you can do in TotemTimer (so each specific popup button doesn't have to have its own keybind). ie Shift-1 to open the earth elemental popup menu and then 1,2,3 for the specific totems and shift-2 for fire and 1,2,3 for specific totems?
And completely unrelated. Does anybody have any good standalone experience bars?

Yes. It displays the "cooldown spiral" graphic on the icon, and overlays a text timer. The text part *might* require OmniCC, but I'm not sure, since I've never used Poppins without OmniCC.

No. What's the point in having timers if they're hidden? The buttons ARE the timers.

No. That's something I've requested, but at present the popup buttons are accessible only with the mouse. It's not really a big deal, though, since you're not generally needing to switch totems mid-fight or at any other time when your mouse might be otherwise occupied.
Some of your fonts are really tiny, especially on your tank (?) frames, but I'll assume you can read them.
Yes, no problem there - 20" widescreen TFT of reasonable quality running 1680 x 1050. Good visibility even on tiny stuff
Your Omen, BigWigs, oRA, XRS, and cast bars are very colorful, and look out of place in your very heavy, dark, black-and-gray UI. I know that at least BigWigs, Omen, and XRS have options to change the bar colors.
Your buff bars also look somewhat out of place, and are difficult to read with drab blue text on a drab gray, semitransparent background. Assuming it's ElkBuffBars, there are options to change these things.
*That* in fact was intended - i aimed for creating it rather uniform in color and also a bit sober and grey and have important stuff like the AddOns you mentioned stand out. Also the screenie on tinypic does the EBB-setup not much justice, it's a lovely shade of blue on a lovely gray. :)
You have TONS of consumables on your action buttons. Why do you need Tempest Keep mana potions shown when you're not in Tempest Keep? Use one button (I'd even recommend using a macro to combine health pots, bandages, and food, and one for mana pots and water) and swap it as needed for zone-specific items.
Condense your health and mana stones into a single button each, with a macro to use the best one you have:
Make a similar one for your mana stones, although since each rank has a different name, you can just use the name instead of the item number.
Hm, but this macro, as I understand it, uses the items from top-down, according to the sorting I use in the macro. I have them set up as they are in this so that I can actually decide on which thingy to take... take mana stones: I like to take the smallest one first, but there are situations where I need the big one. Would make me have to start memorize conditionals as you suggest for using my mage. I hope my poor brain doesnt get overloaded in the end. Will try that definitely!
Why do you need permanent, always-on action buttons for daily quest items? Get rid of those. Same goes for buff foods and flasks/elixirs... take them off your bars, and just use them from your bags. If you do all of those things, you've cut down to about 3 total bars. Put things like your mount, conjures, and professions (I see Disenchanting) on a bar that only shows on mouseover, or only shows out of combat.
I always thought it takes me too long... see, doing dailies on the Island - kill guardian, open bag, use attunement core thingy, close bag, repeat... it's faster to just click the quest item I put in the outer bar. Still: going to try this too on my journey to minimalizing stuff.
As a mage, you don't really need your raid frames to be that big or detailed. On my feral druid, I've reduced the center name to 2 characters, shrunk the frame down to just fit those 2 characters, and turned off every status except for Dead, Low Mana (blue border, set to 10% for Innervating), Aggro (red border), Curses (purple border), Poisons (green border), and a few select debuffs with GridStatusRaidDebuff (center icon). If your raid frames were smaller, and you didn't have the action bars on the side, you could put your raid frames over next to your target frame above the combat log, and move your raid status and raid cooldown bars up under the minimap.
My other 70 is a priest and I spend some time healing in 25ers too - for sake of having the same UI on my various chars, I liked to keep the raid frames for sake of uniformity. Still your other suggestions leave lots of room for improvement and I will try to put your suggestions to good use.
Also I got my Grid configured at least similar as you got. Some fairly standard stuff (aggro = red dot upper left corner, magic debuff blue dot lower left, poison debuff green dot upper right... on my mage Curses get center icon, on my Priest Magic / Diseases etc...)
Fiddled with my UI a bit, moving things about, got rid of raidframes (I never used them) and went back to good old Nmainbar. :) Still looking for a texture for my UF's. If anyone knows of one similar to Glamour2 but without the flower let me know ;P
Yes. It displays the "cooldown spiral" graphic on the icon, and overlays a text timer. The text part *might* require OmniCC, but I'm not sure, since I've never used Poppins without OmniCC.
Well thats fine since I use OmniCC. Although I would like to know how to make different fonts show fore each character...
No. What's the point in having timers if they're hidden? The buttons ARE the timers.
I was just wondering if they could be used to consolidate space for my unused buttons (ie Soulwell, summoning, and all pets) that would be hidden until mouseover.
No. That's something I've requested, but at present the popup buttons are accessible only with the mouse. It's not really a big deal, though, since you're not generally needing to switch totems mid-fight or at any other time when your mouse might be otherwise occupied.
ok. its true that i often just lay down the same totem when in combat but if i were to pvp i believe it would be a different story.

Ow, I must have overread IHML in your post, Seerah, or I failed to see possible relevance in my quest for minimzing bar usage. Googled it up and will give it a try, thanks a lot!

I have no words for that atrocity.

Type /kb to enter keybinding mode.

Wow does someone really use that?! lol It looks like someone took about 5 different interfaces and layered them on top of each other. rofl
No idea. Someone posted that on the US WoW UI&Macro forums and I thought some of you guy's over here would get a kick out of it.
