| 1s | g'day if you're anything like me you |
|---|---|
| 4s | might be returning back to wow after an |
| 6s | extended absence and you might be |
| 8s | surprised when you first log in no |
| 12s | add-ons installed and realize that |
| 14s | they've made a lot of changes to the |
| 15s | default UI we're going to have a look at |
| 17s | some Nifty layouts that you can do |
| 20s | without any add-ons |
| 22s | so the first thing we should probably |
| 24s | have a look at is what you can actually |
| 25s | do with the UI so all of these elements |
| 28s | when you go into edit mode you can move |
| 32s | you can reshape you can reconfigure |
| 35s | nearly all of the elements that you can |
| 37s | see on the screen so for example the |
| 39s | talking head if I click the element I |
| 42s | can actually drag it around on my screen |
| 44s | in terms of action bar features I can |
| 47s | change the orientation of the action bar |
| 50s | to Vertical then I can place that |
| 52s | wherever I want in the screen I can also |
| 55s | have a look at some other features like |
| 57s | rows the size of the icons the icon |
| 61s | padding |
| 63s | how many icons you want to be able to |
| 65s | see |
| 66s | and also the general visibility of these |
| 70s | things as well so if you want an action |
| 72s | bar to only appear when you're in combat |
| 75s | you can have that option too |
| 85s | so this first layout I've got the |
| 89s | buttons the action bars configured in a |
| 92s | way that matches an MMO gaming mouse so |
| 95s | the 3x4 configuration if you have for |
| 97s | example a 15 is it 12 no 12 12 buttons |
| 101s | on the side of your mouse you can |
| 104s | arrange your action bar icons to look |
| 107s | the same way |
| 109s | foreign |
| 111s | [Music] |
| 113s | that I probably prefer I might move all |
| 116s | of these elements further down if I do |
| 118s | find myself having to use the default UI |
| 120s | I'm probably still going to be using |
| 122s | add-ons but certainly in terms of one |
| 125s | that I would consider using myself I |
| 127s | quite like this one it's got just the |
| 129s | six main abilities that I would want on |
| 131s | my character and then some extra |
| 134s | cooldown abilities underneath so this |
| 136s | kind of reflects what you might see in |
| 138s | some of the weak Aura layouts that I see |
| 141s | a lot of Mythic plus people using and |
| 144s | I've tried to replicate as much as I can |
| 146s | of that using the default UI |
| 151s | the third layout here is quite a strange |
| 153s | way this is where I started |
| 154s | experimenting with what I could |
| 156s | potentially do that as I said there are |
| 158s | limitations with the default UI so you |
| 160s | can only resize things to certain |
| 162s | dimensions and I thought well maybe it's |
| 165s | something unusual that we could try and |
| 167s | see maybe it Sparks an imagination |
| 170s | within you |
| 171s | [Music] |
| 174s | the fourth layout here it looks terrible |
| 177s | when it's outside of a raid it doesn't |
| 179s | look that much better in a raid either |
| 180s | but but this is definitely a layout that |
| 183s | I you would perhaps use only when you're |
| 186s | in the raid so of the five characters |
| 189s | specific layouts this is one maybe I |
| 191s | would use for just raids and I'd have |
| 193s | another layout that was just for party |
| 195s | [Music] |
| 198s | this fifth layout a little bit more like |
| 201s | the classic I suppose a combination of |
| 203s | classic and modern I've moved the stance |
| 206s | bar a little bit trying to experiment |
| 207s | with how it lines up with the chat on |
| 210s | the left hand side |
| 211s | [Music] |
| 215s | the sixth layout that we have here looks |
| 217s | terrible when you're outside a group |
| 219s | once again it's something that's |
| 221s | designed in a particular way uh it's |
| 223s | experimenting a little bit with perhaps |
| 225s | changing the configuration to be a |
| 227s | little bit more vertical instead of |
| 228s | horizontal so this is for a 10-man raid |
| 231s | situation and then you have your |
| 233s | whatever important cooldowns to the left |
| 234s | and right of it everything is in the |
| 236s | middle of the screen |
| 237s | [Music] |
| 240s | the seventh layout is one that's |
| 243s | anchored toward the bottom of the screen |
| 245s | so I tried to think well maybe I could |
| 247s | space out the icons so I added a little |
| 250s | bit of padding to the icons and you can |
| 252s | see we've only got this the 12 icons |
| 254s | there all other action bars are hidden |
| 257s | but you would then have your key |
| 258s | bindings normally on those and you don't |
| 260s | need to look at those things |
| 265s | the eighth note this is where I've kind |
| 269s | of been inspired by just how many |
| 271s | buttons some Talent builds have been |
| 275s | experimenting with my tanks at the |
| 278s | moment and some of them oh my goodness |
| 280s | there's so many cooldowns and so many |
| 283s | extra abilities that I can actually add |
| 286s | to my bar that I got to a point where I |
| 287s | ran out of buttons so I thought maybe I |
| 290s | should just need a one massive string of |
| 293s | five action bars and just have them at |
| 295s | the bottom of the screen and then I can |
| 297s | add another row on top |
| 300s | and for the last and final UI this is |
| 304s | where I was experimenting a bit with the |
| 307s | sizing of buttons so you can't have |
| 309s | fewer than six buttons from an action |
| 312s | bar hidden but what you can do is only |
| 316s | put abilities onto a certain number of |
| 319s | buttons and then turn it set it so that |
| 323s | it doesn't always show your action |
| 326s | buttons so then it looks like there's |
| 328s | only three but there's pseudo3 empty |
| 330s | buttons above those three large ones |
| 332s | anyway thanks very much for watching |
| 335s | whatever it is you're doing I hope it |
| 337s | goes well and you are taking care of |
| 339s | yourself and those around you |
| 341s | I will see you when I see you |
| 344s | and not a second before |
