My main addons I use for the look of my UI are suf, dominos, basicminimap, basic buffs, and better objectives.
But sometimes I think I should Elvui so I don’t need all those addons. But when I do it just drives me crazy. I feel the need to constantly tweak random things here and there. But in my normal setup I never feel that need. And also can’t stand the dark theme of everything so I turn off all skins, but then I think what’s the point of elvui so I go back.
Obviously there are things I like about it, but man drives me crazy constantly feeling the need to tweak things to where I spend hours wasting time on it lol
i’ll be very honest with you so you don’t feel all alone in this.
i also hate tweaking and customizing elvui. especially cuz it has so much options and you can put things anywhere you want with any color BUT you gotta do what you gotta do man. i still don’t feel 100% confortable with my ui but with some tweaks everyday i know it’ll get better
I get it completely. Currently I’m using Elvui but it’s the little things that’s annoying me. Can’t seem to find how to remove the Raid Control button has been my latest frustration.
I used to use just 6 addons total: Dominos, TomTom, DBM, Recount, Zperl and Bagnon. Really think I’m headed back that route. Sure the information is there and easily seen but with all the click here to update or hide or add a nameplate or feature, gets tedious. /shrug lol.
Hello ElvUI user here. Been using it…frankly since Cataclysm.
Can you be more specific? What do you mean by this?
If this is how you feel then that pretty much defeats the purpose of using the addon. The addon specifically is made for people that want a clean, minimalist and dark theme.
I use Elvui because I was able to customize it so that I have most of my screen clear. I never have to tweak it because I spent the time upfront setting it up the way I want it. I then copied that profile to all of my alts, so they all have the same.
I don’t like ElvUi either. Not at all actually. I know it seems to be most player’s go to ui mod, but it’s definitely not one I like so I don’t use it.
I did find one I completely love though, so much better than ElvUi in my opinion. It’s called GW2 ui. You might want to give that one a try. I honestly love it.
Been using elvui for quite some time. Totally love it compared to stock. My only complaint really is constant updates, but that is kind of expected. I often continue to play with previous version for a while. I did start with a template someone shared online and have only slightly modified it for my own purposes.
things like which fonts should i use, have the chat panels on or off, have the databars on or off, how should my nameplates look, should i have the health on the nameplates, which textures should i use for my unit frames, and so on.
what i mean is i constantly change things here and there and go back and forth between things
