Lack of aesthetically appealing custom UIs

It surprises me that with such powerful tools to edit our UIs, being able to import custom textures/animations and the like, that basically all WoW custom UIs are just spartan icons, colors and numbers with 0 thought to making something look interesting or appealing.

I started working on my own ui again and realized just how powerful the tools really are. You could recreate the default blizz ui or something even better. So its a bit odd there isnt a sizeable portion of people doing so.

Idk just a shower thought i suppose. Do any of you have/know of aesthetically minded custom ui packages

Sounds like work. :laughing:

I’m glad these tools exist. I’ll stick with the default UI (for the most part).

Could just be people not invested in making one.

As for recommendations I used to use toxiui + dark mode. Looked a lot more clean to me.

People who really want to tinker aren’t gonna be satisfied with the default tools.

There are a ton of great ideas on Google: “best wow custom ui.” Be sure to click the “images” tab. There is also a dedicated /WowUI reddit.

It’s pretty common for players to make custom UI. I personally like the more minimalist style. I even saw one that looked like the old-school Diablo games.

Most are minimalist or focus on doing things efficiently, like you said spartan. But I’ve seem some pretty ones too with a lot of custom textures. The first one that comes to mind is ironically SpartanUI.
