Wow, my first topic here!

I've played World of Warcraft for several years, and up until a week ago I'd never tried bothering modifying the game's default user interface. I always thought it was really ugly and took up WAY too much of the game window than was necessary. Here's an example of the default UI; also, this is not me, just something I randomly found with Google image search: Default WoW UI

Seeing how much I love steampunk, combined with that my character is an engineer (what else would she be? wink ), I decided to make myself a steampunk UI. The art was all done in Photoshop, and I used a number of game addons to change the default appearances of everything and move stuff around: KGPanels, Skinner, DaPortrait, Move Anything!, AG Unitframes, and Clearfont. The screenshot.

If any of my fellow guild members have such an interest in modifying their game interface, I would be more than happy to point you in the directions needed to do so. While slightly confusing and a little time consuming at first, it was overall really fun to do and to figure out. wink

Oh, this is GORGEOUS. I love the curliques around the minimap, and the woodgrain!

Do you have any screenshots of how it looks in a party or raid?

I used to have a mod that turned my buttons into little cogs. Cycircled, I think it was called. But, I use Bongos to arrange my hotbars, and the latest Cycircled doesn't work with Bongos last I checked sad

Also, is that the easter dress? mrgreen

I don't have pictures of that yet, sadly! In fact... I haven't raided in several years, eep! I'm lazy! domokun heart But the party shows up in little wood and cog frames. Also when something is targeted, it shows as a 3d model underneath the character portrait in the upper left.

I used to use Bongos for a time, and Fubar, and... Pitbull, I think it was? I think I have something else running along with AG Unitframes (it depends on that) but I can't remember for the life of me of what it is.

Honestly, the most difficult thing of the entire process was figuring out saving transparency in Targa files. I wasn't aware Adobe took it out, and it didn't hit me right away I could make an alpha layer to do it. xd

And, yes! That's the easter dress. I have this weird thing with collecting dresses.

Gorgeous. Giving me ideas, you are.
I should dabble with this sometime, make a total gearhead one. It'll go with the steampunky RP server my friends and I are making.
