Archive for the ‘UI’ Category

I got board yesterday and started playing around with my UI. I ended up with no more player, or target frames.

I was just tired of looking at the same old frames that I have had for a year or so now. It was time for a change. Off to Curse I went in search of something a little bit different. What I came up with is IceHud. Now im not sure if I’m going to keep it but its ok for now.

There are still a few things I need to clean up, like DBM timers, need to be moved to underneath up buffs for starters. But its a work in progress. If your interested in giving it a shot, its really easy to set up. Just with the standard set up it works pretty well, although you might want to change your mana/power bar to the left next to your heath. Then change your targets heath and mana/power bar to the right side. There are also lots of different textures for the bars. You can even create custom bars to monitor your cool downs and debuffs/buffs. I chose to still use Power auras to manage my buffs/debuffs on the target. Also yes I know the screen shot is of my Death knight, but hey I have the same set up on the hunter as well.

One problem that I found was you lose the ability to click on your frame for group options.  Although you can turn this on, I have chosen not to do this. Instead I picked up a very nice little addon for Fubar that does all this for me. ReadyFu.

The other problem I came across is your focus target is not turned on by default. All you have to do is pop into the options for icehud and enable this module. I chose to make this bar clickable so I can target my focus. It seems to be small enough that its not going to get in my way, but time will only tell.

Ill leave you with a quick look at the options menu.
