There's plenty of room for customization, and some does require the use of a text editor to get into some of the code, but it is all relatively easy. I guess what I'm trying to say is that despite being very minimalist, ElvUI feels like it has weight, and that's a good thing. The player and target frames have awesome texture work that just feels solid - not just an opaque, colored background, but something more substantial. LDB addons and information are simply laid out at the bottom of the screen, impeccably placed and easily accessible. Having the two side utility bars really sold me on the action bar layout, because I happen to be a huge fan of said utility bars. The action bars in particular are spacious enough to occupy even the most robust button-using class while providing enough utility bars to accommodate button mounts, companion pets and more. The healer configuration moves the raid frames to the middle and changes them substantially, creating a healer-centric Grid layout that is easily accessible.Įlv's layouts are wonderfully versatile. The DPS configuration places emphasis on debuffs and screen real estate, allowing the player to have a wide range of vision for movement and positioning. The hallmark feature of ElvUI is that there are multiple configurations included right out of the box for DPS/tank and healers.

But once you get this whole setup working, there are few addons that can compare to how great ElvUI makes WoW look and feel. This UI is a bit advanced, and I wouldn't recommend such a complete overhaul for any and every user.

What he found and then subsequently passed on to me is a heavily modified version of Tukui called ElvUI, a drop-dead gorgeous interface replacement that is lightweight and minimalist and that fits many resolutions. There were just a few things he wanted implemented differently, and he began the search for interface nirvana. A friend was experimenting with tukui, a very capable and gorgeous full interface replacement, but was just having a few nitpicky issues with the whole package. It is rare that I find a full interface replacement that makes me so enthralled that I must turn The Spotlight to it. This week, I am impressed with Elv's tukui revamp. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond - your addons folder will never be the same. Each week, WoW Insider brings you a fresh look at reader-submitted UIs as well as Addon Spotlight, which focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience: the user interface.
