Here is my current cluttered laptop UI screenshot. Desktop is similar just less cluttered.

And a typical Oondasta run.. sigh

My laptop and desktop used to me similar, but I have since made the change to using dropbox to store my wtf and interface folders. Means I only have one set of addons to update, and any ui changes I make on one carry over to the other. It's been working great since I made that change.

Interesting idea. I could probably do that more reliably on my NAS.

Well I play on my laptop when not at home, so dropbox seems to work well for that. Basically you just move the folders over and then create symbolic links within your actual WoW folder. My first thoughts were what if I can't connect ot dropbox, quickly followed up by I probably can't connect to WoW's servers either in that circumstance.

So! Where did all the action bars come from?

Dominos is the addon I use. Bartender4 seems to be the preference for many along with the SpartanUI but I prefer my own set up.

Thanks! I've never seen anything like that. It looks interesting and would definitely improve the game for me. What about that map thingy at the lower left?

That is Carbonite. It has a resizable map with routing capability for nodes. It also handles the quests and thats the list you see at the right.

»www.curse.com/addons/wow ··· arbonite

I recommend using the alpha version. If you use npcscan overlay, you will need to copy the carbonite.lua file from the extras folder to the npcscan overlay module folder.

Alpha is actually stable and is the preliminary Carbonite 2.0.

That is Bazooka and is a data broker bar. Many addons automatically add icons to the bar. There are lots of broker bar addsons for things like friends and guild online, armor status, fps, and all kinds of stuff.

»www.curse.com/addons/wow/bazooka

Some example data broker addons:

»www.curse.com/addons/wow ··· -friends

»www.curse.com/addons/wow ··· db-guild

Thanks! I've been looking into this add-on thing. I'm having a little trouble getting started as the instructions seem a bit vague for someone just starting up with it. Nevertheless, I'm sure that I will figure it out in a short time. It's just hit or miss at this point, but I'm getting the idea pretty fast.

Ah! I have it... I didn't have much luck installing Bartender4 manually, but the Curse Client worked very well. This made my day, so far

So, thanks again Goldheart See Profile

You're very welcome.

I certainly use the curse client myself since it is free and handles updating nicely. They do have most of the addons but there are a rare few that are not available via curse.

I gave this a try but there is just too much of a difference in screen size from laptop to desktop. Everything too small on desktop and too large on laptop.

Plus its fairly slow loading all those addons I use.. lol!

The only slowness I find with it is if I'm loading the game on my laptop without changing the graphics quality. Other than that I can't say I've noticed any performance issues. I run at a reduced ui size anyway, more tailored for my laptop so things just seems little bigger and roomier on my desktop.

My laptop is 17" and desktop display is 30". Huge difference!

Yeah, I'd say so. My laptop is a 17.1" with my desktop being a 23", so it's not that big of a step.

Hmm, that looks like an addon version of a messy room. Sure you can find everything, it just might have pizza stuck to it.

Haha well I am just a DPS, but I usually close the map and normally have Carbonite quest watch set to fade during combat. I could probably shrink the raid frames quite a bit.

one of the few who have declared so. Generally, those who don't think they need to customize their view rarely read forums to improve their play. I did say "generally", so there is room for unique individuals.

Addons have extended the life of WoW for me.

The ability to customize so significantly and improve over default has consumed countless hours of my time...

I wouldn't say it has extended the life of WoW for me but it is certainly fun to see what is out there and experiment.

I probably wouldn't have ever stuck with wow if I hadn't come across bartender. Coming from EQ2 I just couldn't handle the default UI.
