    Default Best Dual Boxing Custom UI

    hi, i like to use custom UI's, as in, complete redo's of everyting, but, can never decide which UI is better, i like different parts of the various UIs i have used, just can't figure out how to combine those good parts lol.

    anyways, my question is, what's the best custom UI for dual boxing, i usually only have two toons played at a time, 3 at the most. and i need something that is clean, and easy to read when it gets small.

    any ideas?

    i'll post a pic of my setup when i get home, i have alot of viewing room but alot of info on the sides, i mostly configured my own setup using:
    Jamba (of corse)
    X-Perl
    Bartender4
    SexyMap
    G15 keys
    Questhelper
    Cartographer (sp)
    Recount
    Omen

    That's all i have visible on the screen, i have it set where Recount and Omen use the same space so Omen is displayed in combat and Recount out of combat, but again i'll post it when i get home.

    Let them hate, as long as they fear.

    I generally go with the default UI.
    Grab something like MoveAnything, to position and/or hide elements.

    Then go with as few addons as possible, that give me all the information I want.

    Currently, that would be Pitbull Unit Frames - for health, mana, cast bars, target, target's target, and parties target. I use the last, to visually verify all my toons are on the same thing. Some are large enough to read easily (with a lot of information), others are small and just give basic information (such as the name of my target's target).

    I really like dot timer, for tracking buffs, durations and cooldowns.

    I like BigWigs for warnings, but Deadly Boss Mods for timer bars and the whisper "busy" feature. Basically, use half of one and half of the other, with a lot of stuff disabled in each.

    Essentially, I use the basic interface + a bunch of addons I like.
    The only custom UI I went with was Mazzle, which was pretty but hardly minimalistic.
    EverQuest I: Bard / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / 2x Magician.
    Diablo III: 4x Crusader & 4x Wizard.

    What gives you that large bog on the bottom that holds everything? Is it Bartender or X-perl. Thx in advanced

    Ked your UI reminds me of Insomniac's from a while back!

    Anyway I use this one http://www.wowinterface.com/download...asscolors.html

    I have been watching him improve this addon for a while now. It is simple simple to set up. He has done all the work for you.. a simple /reflux switch Class and its done.

    I did take out the bag addon as I like arkinventory better. I also took out TOMTOM I like carbonite more. I added WIM, Healbot and decursive. it to me is the best UI I have used yet. I also took out Opie as it messed with my keybindings. And was just unnessasary.

    It looks like a big ui with a lot of extra's. But it does not effect my framrates or the preformace of my computer. I didn't even turn down his graphix settings and I run 60 fps.
