Minimalist UI addons?

Everything is back with the wtf deleted. /whew

I’ll leave bartender alone. Although I really enjoyed the much smaller spell icons and reduced bar sizes.

Ok, I really couldn’t leave bartender alone… but I did leave the bags alone. I deleted my Move Anything, as it was completely messing up the main action bar making it unusable. Once I deleted it, I reinstalled bartender and fixed my UI to have smaller bars and I love it.

Pipkin is too good for this world, too pure.

I use Elvui and TellMeWhen primarily (along with a few others for small things) … Using Elvui, I toggle all of my action bars to “mouseover”, so they only appear if I move my mouse over them and then use TellMeWhen to show me all of my combat abilities, along with my buffs, but only when in combat.

And IMO, TellMeWhen is a little bit underrated compared to WA. It’s gives you almost full control over everything.

I still have a little clean up to do as I have recently come back from a long break, but everything is fully customizable to the size, positioning, font, text on icons, animations, conditions to show/hide, etc.

I cannot recommend AdiBags enough. Sorts everything for you.

Elvui lets you make your UI how you want it. As for bag addon ArkInventory is the best. If you like to just install addons and go about your business without messing with settings then forget everything I’ve said lol.

That bag addon is kinda exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you! :hugs:

Just try NoAdDon: this addon is super awesome, it delete all the addons on your computer (and much more) and force you to use the basic and default user interface of the game which is awesome!

Bartender is a small addon you can customize as you wish. Unlike thinks like ELVUI which are bulky.

The addons I’m using simplify and improve the existing UI. That’s the point of “minimalist.” The UI does its job, I just want specific improvements to make the game feel better and smoother. 2004 UI is kinda showing its age.

This is what I have so far.

Elvui with Shadow & Light. You can make it as minimal as you want it to be.

I used to do that as well, but the bars I was using went haywire during a recent patch update. Now I just make my own simple ones using the instructions and a little intuition.

I feel like some people here are using “minimalist” to mean “as close to default as possible while still being more efficient” and some people are using it to mean “as little unnecessary information on the screen as possible” and those aren’t the same thing.

I use Bartender and Sexy Maps, I love them.

gw2 ui :fire: :fire: :fire:

there’s one that turns your buttons into a single offblack strip with slightly lighter offgrey negative signs in the centers of where the icons should be. when you go to click on them they shrug and softly sip clear distilled water from a champagne flute with their eyes closed.

I prefer dominos to bartender. I find it’s simpler to use and manage it’s profiles.

The author claims that by reusing blizzard code his addon is lighter on system resources. I have never bothered to confirm that.

Dominos is superior to Bartender. Less memory usage.
