a mod for the default ui, adding some quality of life improvements & visual twists with a focus on clean design & light scripting.

latest versions is always available here: https://github.com/obble/modui
note that your downloaded directories will need '-master' removed from the folder name to function.

type '/modui' for a variety of options, or click the 'M' button located on the mainbar (replacing keyring, which has been moved over into the bag frame). All elements can be toggled on or off, and any that have been disabled will not load on login.

What raid frames are those? Me want.

my own — modraid. available in the git link above, just click modraid & then 'download zip' at the bottom right.

just a note that they can now also be auto-arranged with the '/spawn' command, tucking them under the minimap in blocks that grow to the left & down.

typing '/spawn [1-12]' will also change how many group frames are stacked horizontally per row, i.e.:

'/spawn 3' =
[raid 3][raid 2][raid 1]
[raid 6][raid 5][raid 4]

'/spawn 1' =
[raid 1]
[raid 2]
[raid 3]
[raid 4]

etc.

i'm writing these in 10-19 WSG whilst waiting for the GY spawn, so there's probably a few niggles yet to smooth out. please post any bug reports in this thread or through git.

Is there a way to make it show the exact amount of rage you have?
