It took me about 30 seconds to think through and confirm that it actually fits my goals quite nicely.<br /><br />All thanks to your screenshot. I wouldn't have thought of using one of these if I didn't see that screenshot.<br /><br />It's really much easier to leave the design and thinking to the experts.<br /><br />@Ardent Defender: the version I downloaded just now has the focus frame in the same style as player and target frames.<br /><br />@leivadith: why not use an independent debuff timer that will only show your own debuffs?<br /><br />Lastly just a small tip. If you want to copy UI placement to alts, e.g. dialog window, recount window, all those extra things that you carefully placed and locked in, then all you need is to copy the layout-local.txt file from one character's WTF folder to the others. This will leave all saved variables intact. I do this too for backing up UI arrangements.Maayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353844429760938973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-85422314085468656632009-10-29T09:08:04.534-04:002009-10-29T09:08:04.534-04:00I us SpartanUI too but always have a problem with ...I us SpartanUI too but always have a problem with it or bartender on the Instructor Razuvious fight. When I am controlling one of the students and try to dismiss him, hitting the button on the action bar does nothing. This normally means I control him until he breaks lose and this can be bad when I am tanking with him. But since I rarely do Naxx 10 anymore its not too much of a problem.Dargnashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-40267660329828725662009-10-28T13:33:32.110-04:002009-10-28T13:33:32.110-04:00Power Auras is great for keeping track of key debu...Power Auras is great for keeping track of key debuffs (Like Explosive Shot).

I liked it so much I've been trying it out the last couple of days.<br /><br />One small issue that irritates me is that I can't find a way to increase the size of the debuff icons over my target. This is not much of an issue on my paladin, but it is on my hunter since SS and BA debuffs are too small and I cant keep track of them when there are 2 dozen different debuffs from other raid members. <br /><br />I see that on your UI, the debuffs are larger and have timers, any help on how I could get that too?leivadithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916969720647757870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-40770033383948210222009-10-28T08:59:23.375-04:002009-10-28T08:59:23.375-04:00"A blog post is always better when you work i..."A blog post is always better when you work in a Princess Bride quote."<br /><br />So true, so VERY true.<br /><br />I have not used Spartan in a while, It got pretty buggy for me a past itteration so I eliminated it as no updated appeared to be coming. <br /><br />I am currently using a mish mash of Dominos, Grid, and a few others.

I don't like the Spartan frames though, so I'm still using ag unitframes for those, up where your buffs are, and my ElkBuffBars run down the lefthand side where your raidframes are.Rhiihttp://www.isheepthings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-87226774963909309302009-10-27T17:41:26.962-04:002009-10-27T17:41:26.962-04:00I can't thank you enough for actually taking t...I can't thank you enough for actually taking the time to go through your UI. I have been struggling with my own, trying to work with Xperl or Pitbull, and it all just ends up looking like a chaotic mess. <br /><br />I'm going to go home and make sure that I download Spartan tonight! Can't wait for the rest of your UI discussion. <br /><br />Thanks Honors<br /><br />- Doogiehowser (now Bubbletruble - Pally Belf)Doogiehowsernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-16423271678247965162009-10-27T11:56:36.069-04:002009-10-27T11:56:36.069-04:00We pretty much use the same core addon package sin...We pretty much use the same core addon package since I also been using Spartan package addon for last 5 months or so when i started leveling my Shaman. <br /><br />I started on my Shaman since he was a new lowbie to get used to the addon on a new character vs on my Paladin and changing his UI where I knew everything else was already. <br /><br />But I as well really like Spartan core package for all the reasons you stated in the blog piece, most was it makes my view cleaner to see what's happening and as a tank that is valuable to be able to see as much as you can. I've gotten used to it and really like it.<br /><br />But just like you said as well Spartan is not all of my addons either. I use Grid for my Raid frames mostly to save the space and condense all party frames. Other stuff like Parrot and Ice Hud adds allot to see what's happening as well on my UI with other addons as well. Really its having the right addons for the information you need to your specific task.<br /><br />Only thing I haven't figured out with Spartan yet is how to get the Focus frame updated for a cleaner look since its the default Blizzard Focus frame. I haven't updated Spartan in a month or so so maybe its been updated or in the next upgrade.<br /><br />But overall its a awesome UI core package to like for a clean sleek look.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-79619617405923891042009-10-27T11:53:23.926-04:002009-10-27T11:53:23.926-04:00You will also want to save a copy of your WTF fold...You will also want to save a copy of your WTF folder, in the same location as your Addons folder.
