Still not finished, but here is a little project I started on today. I still need a new castbar, a focus setup, raid/party frames, and Cooldown watching. After that should be good to go, and shouldn't take up much more space than I have taken up presently now anyway. I'll probably redo the player/target frames a little bit later too. Mostly I want a cleaner place for the numbers and names.
Three small bits of feedback for you Petninja, which you may or may not already be considering.
1. Make a custom boarder to the minimap that is a little larger and goes with the overall theme. Probably should hide the icons as well.
2. You could also add some custom border to wrap around the chat window. Like the minimap, parts of the base UI stand out because they don't go with the overall theme.
3. The text that overlaps the health and mana bars is difficult to read because of how you chose to represent the bars. As an alternative, I'd recommend moving the text off to a side to make it more readable. For example, condense the two bars inwards and then have a little block to the left of the player frame and to the right of the target frame where text is displayed over a more reading friendly background. Not being able to easily read critical information quickly could make the UI less practical. While a pretty UI is nice, a playable UI is more important.
What I'd recommend doing is getting rid of the vertical bars over the health and mana bars. From what I can see, they serve no real purpose and just clutter up the overall look as well as making the text hard to read.Quote:

I don't have any raid action shots, I just came back from a 3ish month hiatus. So I just toggled everything so it'd be visible.
Also, I'm still playing with dxe, trying to figure the best fit. Definitely like it so far tho.

This is my current UI. I have vuhdo open so you can see what it would look like in a 25 man. Please leave comments/suggestions :)
Odine is doing a great job with his rendition of Tukui. It looks wonderful.

Also, yay for two [Wrathful Gladiator's Mooncloth Leggings] and being the only priest? Rofl.
Personally I still do not understand why people have Omen and Recount... there's no need to have Omen if you have Recount...

People have both recount and omen because Omen is a better threat meter than recount, and people like to track other things with recount. Just because an two addons can do the same thing doesn't mean you only need one of them.

A little project I started tonight. I'm pleased so far with how it's looking, but certainly open to suggestions. Raid and party frames aren't in it yet, so I obviously can't show them. I also don't have a threat meter yet. BTW, like most of my UIs all important abilities are keybound and most are hidden. Rarely used abilities are kept on a hidden bar on the side of the screen that appears on mouseover. No sense cluttering a UI with tradeskills right?
On second thought I'll probably remove Cascade from the bottom left. That's prime space for good stuff, and I almost never use cascade on this guy :P.
Most everyone, who is any one has moved onto the awesomeness that is Skada.Quote:

Yeah, a lot of people have, but that wasn't what I was talking about. Omen is a better threat meter than recount, that's the only point I was trying to make. And while I've used skada, I don't honestly like it.Quote:

I went back to update my Tapestry unitframe redux version for a friend. To do: Nameplates, and fix a few symmetry errors =p. I can't decide whether the health bar color should be bluish or blackish. That is skada by the way, not recount.

Nice UI Benea, what's the name of the name plates that you're running?
