My current UI loadout... take a look at what you're missing!

[unrequited]

First of all, here's how my screen currently looks (not all of the uimods are shown, but the ones listed below are active):
http://www.christopherwu.net/sfwow/wowui.jpg

I decided on CTMod after using Cosmos and finding it too bulky. Also, I didn't like their force bow hooks put in for developers to be l33t. Anyways, I decided to bulk up my ui after the fact anyways. Here's what I'm using

shown:

All In One Inventory
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=117
-self-explanatory... gives you a Diablo style bag so you don't have to spend time micromanaging your bags only to have an empty space in your potions bag when you're trying to pick up vendor trash.

CooldownCount:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=33
-instead of a graphical representation, this pops numbers letting you know the amount of seconds (or minutes) until your spell is ready to be cast again.

CTMod:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=273
-a combination of extra bars, and different gadgets which are a great starter package.

Rest XP To Go:
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=181
-lets you know how much "Rested" xp you have stockpiled in a quick glance. Also updates realtime when at an inn or in town.

SellValue:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=91
-manages a minidatabase of items you've brought to the vendor (not necessarily sold) so you can decide on trashing an item in the future, or holding onto it to sell later.

Showdown:
more detailed description of each part of Showdown (http://72.21.45.194/images/showdown_largedesc.jpg)
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=95
-probably my favorite mod, this gives you the entire text combat window presented in an easy to read graphical format. when you're 1v1'ing there's a seesaw diamond which plays tug of war on the top of Showdown from left to right depending on who's currently "winning" (ratio of hp's). Also it lists your last 6 hits (or misses) and damages, as well as showing the same for the enemy. Doens't work in PVP... yet, but PVE is enough reason to get this mod.

Telos' Clock
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=128
-get the fuctionality of Cosmos' clock, without Cosmos. Comes with a time till level estimator, % run speed speedometer, and of course clock.

notshown:

Autopotion
screenshot (http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod_screens/186.jpg)
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=9
Some cry cheater when they hear what this mod does... basically it uses a potion, or healthstone, or mana crystal automatically when you get to a specific programmable % level. I love it, and Blizzard says it's legal for now (got this from the official UI customization thread).

bc_AutoMailSubject
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=125
-automatically titles mails to other players when you drop an item on the window... great if you're sending lots of mats to different people

http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=135
Berserkplosion
screenshot (http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod_screens/141.jpg)
-upon 20% health, this nifty mod pops up a full screen invisible button as well as flashing a little "Beserkplosion!" over your head to let you know you can cast the troll racial beserk ability. Click ANYWHERE on the screen to activate it.

Combat Stats
screenshot (http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod_screens/68.jpg)
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=28
-pops up when in battle, and gives you stats on your different attacks, and has pulldown menu to look at stats of a particular ability/spell. Comes with ctmod, but just in case you want it without downloading all of ctmod, here it is.

Guild On Tooltip:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=46
-when you mouseover a person, you get their guildname as well, so you don't have to run right up them to read it. Also works on alliance, so you can peek over a hill, mouseover a gnome, and then read what guild he's in before you decide to gank them.

Scrolling Combat Text:
screenshot (http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod_screens/216.jpg)
http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=222
-adds Final Fantasy scrolling numbers above your head (just like it is already for enemies) so you don't have to look at the top left of your screen to see how much you're getting hit for. Allows you to keep your eyes on the action, and not worry about anything else. This pretty much is an either or both coupled with Showdown, but I just love being able to see the same information presented in different ways.

All these mods play nice together, and they all help me play better as well. I know people like to play vanilla, but here's what you're missing out on.

Ill have to try it out thx for the links and great post Unrequited....i suggest sticky this.

[Turambar]

Soon you won't even have to be in the same room as the comp. :)
Just kidding.
I downloaded the Sell Value and Scrolling Combat Text thingies. The rest Cosmos already does or I don't really need.

[babyseal]

wow.

you didnt plug lootlink|enchantrix/auctioneer/gatherer|gatherbook, totemtimer, pvpcooldown, quickmount, lookfor, karma, bankstatement, bigquestlog or goodinspect.
your taste needs a little refinement, but it is not horrible.

also, if the ctmod gauge is the one which calculates the hitpoint/mana of your target, i would consider that slightly abusive. although knowing me, i may eventually break down and use it.

holy hell... 2000+ g

ive never had more than 100g :(

I never liked lootlink even though you could call up old items. They never got the stack pricing correct, at least in the earlier versions. Auctioneer, is woefully inaccurate, not to mention you have to sit there for 10 minutes while the bot goes through 300 pages of stuff, only to have those one or two auctions totally throw any sort of average pricing out of whack. I'm an alchemy/icemage, so I don't have a use for enchanting/shaman stuff. It isn't hard to mount/dismount when I have a separate bar for mount trinkets. Karma's absolutely useless on a non-carebear server, ditto with a cooldown timer everybody's kill on sight, and I use my ignore list as a blacklist. I did use bankstatement for awhile, but didn't really find it useful becuase I only make potions to sell on the market, so I'm never really watching my herbs overcautiously. But I do like goodinspect and bigquestlog, used to use them but didn't really use them enough to warrant getting them again. All the ui mods share a 32mb user space in memory, and I'm afraid of going over that with the mods I currently use.

Glad to see that this thread is well received though, and I encourage all of you to share your favorite ui mods to add, or post up a Photochop of your screen.

Question about the "All in one inventory":
If I'm using a gun and an ammo pouch, will the ammo pouch merge with the rest of the bags?

[PeregrineFalcon]

Yea im also curious...with the all in one pouch...does this affect macros which access specific slots in inv?

loot link is useful purely for the ability to link old items in chat.
an auctioneer database may be inaccurate, but no more so than using any other method to determine price ranges in a fluid economy. it gives you an idea of what the market is like, and you can reason from there. exceedingly complex.

totem timer is just like the buff timers, only it keeps track of each elemental totem stomped and how long they have remaining in their default durations. handy for those of us who play shamen.
i dont even use enchanting, but enchantrix is nice to use to help give the guild enchanters the reagents they need before stuff is vendor-trashed. handy even though my database doesnt update.

quickmount is handy when you already juggle items when you already have 5 rows of spells to deal with. i know i have an entire bag of my engineering trinkets to deal with.
karma i just put on, havent gotten much use out of it yet. its probably going to be used to mark people who pick on my priest so i can pick them out and she can cannibalize them, and mark alliance who are good sports|corpse campers. the timer is there for when you are tired of being camped by hunters 13 levels higher than you.

I cant seem to find a Mod that makes the Tooltip Mousover center to top of screen OR even to wherever the mouse is. Anyone know?

[DarkWHITE]

Gypsy mod has the tooltip follow the mouse

[Tech]

[PeregrineFalcon]

My latest change over.
