This is my current user interface, I am always looking to improve it but this is my current one
I try to keep information that is most important near my toon without restricting my awareness, I have found the following to be a good combination.
User interface Details and breakdown can be found below
A: Chinchilla & Minimap Button Frame – Map movement/customisation
B: oRA3 - A CT_RaidAssist alternative, another requirement for raiding in most guilds. This is the Cooldown frame.
C: DXE - Is a Boss Mod filled with win! This is the Primary Boss Frame
D: WTFrames – Addon to load Tanks from oRA3
E: SatrinaBuffFrame (Player Buffs) - I have SBF split into 2 frames, this frame is used for buffs.
F: DXE – Short Timers
G: DXE – Long Times
H: SexyCooldown - Provides cooldowns for spells like Wild Growth, Warstamp etc
I: oUF_Freebgrid – I switched to this when I had alot of issues with Grid after the last patch. I absolutely love the layout and its ease of use. It was easy enough to configure and contains all the things I want from Grid without the huge number of extra addons.
J: Quartz (Player Cast Bar) – Cast bar filled with win, I have grown to really appreciate this cast bar addon, it is especially useful for us Aussies who have latency issues, a nice presentation of when you can start casting your next cast makes it really great for those ‘heads down healing’ occasions.
K: SatrinaBuffFrame (Player Debuffs) - I have SBF split into 2 frames, this frame is used for debuffs, nice and big and relatively central so I dont loose awareness while watching stacks/ticks etc.
L: Prat - Chat customisation, I have prat setup with 2 windows, general chat rooms like 1. General, Raid, Officer etc and a second purely for healing channel. I also use Prat to also announce important messages in our healer channel to the centre of my screen, calls about people being down etc.
M: Unit Frame section details are below.
1: LitePanels – This is used for the Shading and Lines as well as the following data segments; MP5, Spell Power, Haste, Memory, FPS, Ping, Durability, Local Time, Server Time. This layout was designed by myself ![]()
2: oUF_Upy & oUF - This is my custom built oUF Layout. Consists of (from left to right) Player, Focus, Target of Target, Target.
2: Dominos with ButtonFacade – Main Toolbar with my commonly used spells.




thanks for showing/describing your addons, its incredibly useful.
I love your UI O,o I’m planning to use oUF Nivaya. PB is an eye sore and thank you for showing that UI
just curious what you are using for the orange faded box around your player frames is. are you using kgpanels? can you post the setup or files being used?
LightPanels
This is my layout.lua

gradient = "H",
bg_color = "CLASS", gradient_color = "CLASS",
bg_alpha = 0, gradient_alpha = 0.2,
},
-- Right mid-section

thanks you soo much. you rock sir
hey mate!! I just stumbled across this site when I was checking out some addons and to my surprise your from Adelaide also!
I love your UI setup, very clean and informative, I was just wondering what plugins do you use on your chocolatebar to get it to show the local time/server time, bags, durability, gold, ms, fps, etc etc. I just installed this addon but no one of this comes up and there is no option to add it in
Also is there a way to still get lightpanels I cant find it anywhere
Thanks for your help in advance!
Actually I just found litepanels
One more question, with dominos how do you make the actionbar appear with mouseover?
Thanks!
You need to enter config mode and set Faded Opacity (see below)

thanks for that mate all sorted now
what data brokers (plugins) do you use for chocolate bar?
Hiyas Up,
Thank you so much for the breakdown of these UI’s and not a wall of text I I manage to get lost and confused in. I also checked your titles and I like it! Its down to earth and in simple form. I’m learning the resto spec but I’m nervous to pug but I need to learn to druid heal.
Thanks again! Keep up the good work!
thank you Vemp
I am in the process of updating my UI details too so check back soon
