Well as you can read i have rerolled DK and because of this I have decided i would do a complete UI transition as well.
I liked http://dwarfpriest.com/2008/11/17/reworking-my-ui/#comments so I decided I would try and make it my own.
I have started with the basics and will continue to update it over the next week or so. The format is for (1440×900 widescreen, scale 0.74) widescreen. Download Here
Edit: Download Rev Sickdk R001.1, minor errors fixed with regards to chat frame.
To show Omen and Buff CD

That is awesome! Thanks for making that. I’ll go link you from my post.

NP, it was a pleasure. I also changed your eepanels to KG panels and if you look at the usage its at 9 MB. Give it a try.
I still have aloft, Combat Text, Cart, Mining, Auctioneer, Raid frames, and combat log to fix but shouldn’t take to long.

really like this UI. only thing that sucks is im going to pretty much use it as an identical base but i have to up the scale quite a bit. i play on 1920×1200 so thats gonna be some work lol -_-
also gotta get it to work with both my mage (main) and new dk.
November 20, 2008 at 8:51 am
The UI scales very well i use it on 1600×1050 at home and had no real problem changing the scale.
Enjoy, if you need any help let me know and i should be able to do something.
November 20, 2008 at 8:56 am
is aloft what you use for the dogtag things when you hit V?
would be nice to get one that looks just like the pitbull frames instead of the default bliz ugly rounded things.
if you dont already use it i recommend hitsmode for combat log, its gorgeous.. been using it since way back in BWL and AQ days =)
November 20, 2008 at 8:58 am
Yes that is my plan with aloft (currently in progress)
Thnx for the tip on the combat log, will try it out.
November 21, 2008 at 8:09 am
redid the scale at home, after playing with it for about an hour or so i had to switch back to my old setup. i think its the way the buffs/debuffs are done in yours i dont like, and the minimap at the bottom. i’ll try putting in my SatrinaBuffs in with your setup and see if i like how it goes then. =] its still a great setup im just so used to my own style hehe
p.s did you like HitsMode?
November 21, 2008 at 8:16 am
Yeah “Hits” is good stuff, run a little with it yesterday. Working on Aloft and hits setup now.
For buffs/debuffs, you can completely wipe buffalo by going into WTF/account/savedvariable/buffalo.lua and deleting it. This will let you start again with your own setup.
Hope you enjoy it, post a pic?
November 21, 2008 at 1:09 pm
heres mine on my mage.. its huge lol

Okey im here again, rofl anyone wanna help me out with the “pitbull” mine is way diffrent then the ones on the pics ect. And i have no ide wut to do :<
November 27, 2008 at 6:33 am
Ok did you copy the Fonts/Interface/WTF folders into you wow folder?
2nd, did you rename ACCOUNTNAME/REALM/CHARACTER to your details?
If you did both those properly the go into pitbull, /pitbull go to profiles and click on Sickdk Chromaggus, if you still have no luck, email me a pic and ill fix it for you.
cheers
November 27, 2008 at 8:32 am
Well i went into pitbull and changed everything, it nearly like it but still not the same ;<
Well the noob way i did it was – removed my wtf/interface/fonts and copyd the other ones in. THO when i winrar it (Useing wizard to open) i get two diffrent addon set up one named : _MACOSX and one Sickdk UI R001.2. Ofc i took the Sickdk.
But in my way of seeing it. Will there be any diffrent by renameing the WTF Folder too my accountname, server name ect. And then put it in? then just put it in and it fixes it auto?
Or is there anyohter way i should go? (sence there is a really big diffrens on my pitbull and “yours”. Its close but im not so happy about it.
November 27, 2008 at 8:37 am
yes renaming the folders will make a big dif for you.
IF your still having problems let me know.
Cheers

Totally awesome UI, same resolution that I use even – but completely does not work. My buttons are all clumped up in the center of the screen. Under the Profiles in pitbull, all I get are my name and some Beska of Venture Co for options – neither one changes anything. /sigh The search continues!
November 27, 2008 at 11:58 am
Hi! I had one quick question on your UI – how do I move the Runes display? Currently, they are not appearing over the pitbull player frame on my wife’s DK. Instead, the runes are floating up somewhere on the top left of the screen. I run a different resolution than you (1920×1200), but I can’t figure out which mod is controlling the placement of those runes and how to move them. Is it pitbull? Or another mod?
November 27, 2008 at 12:18 pm
pitbull is broked with regards to Runes, download magic rune and change its default setup its a nice addon.
With regards to the profiles and rez Dave, i look into that for you mate. I’ll get it working perfectly for you, even if i have to write an install script.
Cheers
November 28, 2008 at 1:05 am
Thanks Preistiality, i´ll try that out today
Thanks for the fast answerings!
November 28, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Works perfect now! Thanks ;>
But one question. What addon is the one that are cowering the bars? Is it eepanels?
November 28, 2008 at 7:11 pm
It took a full day of playing around but I finally got this working and am extremely pleased with it. I’ve played around with a few UI overhauls before but everything is always too bloated. This is such a simple and beautiful interface. Hopefully Dwarf Priest will share more of what he does with his interface so I can learn from him as he discovers new and better ways to do things.

This would be KG Panels, its much better

Hey there,
Thanks for all of the work on gathering this together. I have a question though. I’ve copied everything over and here’s how it looks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottmcw/3066141101/sizes/l/ I’ve opened up /pitbull and I don’t see an option to copy over Chromaggus > Sickdk. Is there something that I’m missing?
Thanks again!
November 29, 2008 at 5:58 pm
sorry guys i have not updated the profiles in pitbull yet, i will endeavor to do that this weekend.
I will also finish all updates on any addons.
November 29, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Wrenzo, pitbull appears fine however you need to update bartender 4
December 2, 2008 at 9:32 am
Having difficulties with the kgpanels and getting the bottom black bar to show up.
Also struggling with getting the “big picture”. If I work on these addons one at a time, where should I start? Is there a preferred order?
Thanks for all your efforts with providing us this UI!
December 5, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Well, this is great. But I cant seem to move the target and player bar anywhere. And also I cant seem to get the background of the bars black.
Would really appreciate the help!
