My Ui (which is now finally updated)

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11091-IshtaraUi.html

I'm using stuf and I'm trying to achieve the following with lua.

1. Display the target's name while not casting, but have the spell's name replace the target's name when the target casts a spell.

2. Display the target's level while not casting, but have the spell's cast time replace the level text when the target is casting a spell.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thank you in advance.

Okay, so I just spent the last 10 min searching through the lua files for grid to try and locate the font shadow code so that I can delete it like I did for PB4, but alas I cannot find it anywhere, can someone please direct me to where it may be found :D It would be greatly appreciated! <3

Here is a little sumthin sumthin I have been working on to get the Ui juices flowing again.

Ps. I am pretty much hating the font the more I look at it so that will be changing lol.

Pretty much only smaller details left for finishing up IshtaraUi.

Here is one of the last DpsUi's that will be included.
I wanted to provide some that were more minimal than others in the compilation.

And I couldn't do a Ui for my rogue without redoing Pitbull's combo point symbols so that they match :D

And an actual party screenshot.
I like.

I'm sure you've probably fixed it by now, but just in case you haven't...the level text on the name plates needs to be adjusted :)

What I do for my SBF texts is this:
1. go to layout tab and lower the scale slider down to 0.5
2. go to icon tab and manually insert icon values to find the size i like.
3. go to text tabs for timers and counters and find the right text sizes :)

The main point is, don't increase the scale of the buff frame, increase the size of the icons. Lowering the scale and increasing the icon size manually will allow you to further decrease the size of your texts so that they aren't fuzzy :)

Most probably finial version of my UI.

Your player's debuff timers are an incorrect point size for your pixel font :)
Also, maybe modify your tot and party name texts to exclude the "..."

Very unique layout :)

The only problem I have with your UI is that everything (UF's and such) are so low. When you are actually in a fight (like in the screenshot) and start casting, you have to look away from the action in order to see the status of casting, I suspect you have the same for target castbar too.

Actually, I am designing this Ui to be more centered around melee raiding. And when you raid as a melee your camera tends to adjust for you being right under the boss and it changes your camera angle. That's why everything is lower on the screen.

I also dont understand why so many people use black-ish colors for healthbar and dark grey as background (for depleted HP). It's like the less obvious to notice very quick. And I do think UF's are the main part of your UI which you should all analyse in the shortest time as possible.

The lighter color gray on the target's health bar is the remaining health left. The darker gray is the healthbar's background. And actually, the health gets a little lighter as it depletes so that it's easier to see as the fight goes on.

All in all I like the design tho.

thnx :)

In combat shot of the latest version that shows the exp bar better, among other things.

That's beautiful. :D Will it be uploaded anywhere? :3

It will (most likely) be included in the upcoming version of IshtaraUi. The new version has combined my DkUi and DpsUi_1 because their designs moved in such similar directions that I decided to mash them together, thus leaving a spot open for a new totally different Ui choice in the package. I follow a lot of Ui forums and post on each one of them when I make uploads so keep an eye out :)

K, changed some things around that weren't working.

@d32
I am actually using a modified version of that skin that had the transparent drop-shadow.
In SBF the icon size for my buffs is 41.

*edit*
@ocularis
Great reproduction :) It is kinda difficult for me to read your player's mana text though :(

A new side project for my first Hordie toon :)
I am wanting to design a Ui that is a bit more minimal but still has some style.
Also, something that incorporated an experience / reputation bar.

Not much of it is complete, but here we go:

Out of combat showing off the castbar idea so far:

I wanted to keep the UF's pretty condensed without giving in to the whole "powerbar as a border" trend floating around.

omg! It works :D :D

Phanx is mai hero(ine) !

egingell you're awesome as well <3

Thanks a ton for helping me out with this one ya'll :D

Ok, I put this:

-- Set the font for the bar text
function XPBarNone:SetFontOptions()
	--local font, size, flags = GameFontNormal:GetFont()
    local font, flags = "Interface\Addons\SharedMedia\fonts\HOOG0557.ttf"
	if db.general.fontoutline then
		flags = "OUTLINE"
	end
	self.frame.bartext:SetFont(font, db.general.fontsize, flags)
end

And the bar still turns all black
