AlphaUI Version 0.1b (official beta release)

There are two kinds of minimalists
  • Low memory usage
  • Low Clutter

Most UI compilations focus on one or the other. There is a common pitfall that minimalists have to face, at what point does minimalism affect functionality?

AlphaUI was created out of a necessity, an addon that does everything but with a minimal memory blueprint and extremely low clutter. Not only that but I made sure its fully based on wowinterface.com addons making it fully MMOUI Minioncompatible, that way you can auto update individual addons with ease.

If you are a raider or do a lot of party quests the addons I provided will not be enough. Here are my personal additions to my package, they are in the "Optional Addons" folder:
  • auctionator: lightweight auction addon
  • bigWigs: raiding addon
  • littleWigs: WotLK party addon
  • skada: damage meters (personally I only use Skada Damage)
  • statscore: gives a score stat for equipment
  • sThreatMeter2: threat meter


Fake FAQ
How can I configure Dominos like yours?
Dominos has a FadedOpacity option, what that does is determines the opacity without a mouseover. If you set it to zero, your bar only shows up when you mouseover it.

If you want a bar to show up only during combat there is a way to do it through Show States and adding the word "combat" (replaces the quotes with brackets). For more info check out the Dominos Wiki

I found a bug. How can I let you know?
A simple comment will do. Also let me know if you are using any additional addons, AlphaUI version, WoW version and if you can keep re-producing it or not
