I did something very similar. Although I like my mini map in the top right corner. Had to move it back to the bottom right as the mini map has that stat pop up on it.
I very much like the global size reduction.

You can remove the tooltip from the minimap though, I placed mine so it atcually pops at the top of my screen now.

Marrkin - did you figure out how to stretch the windows for the individuals' health bars within Ops? Not the Ops windows themselves, but specifically I'm referring to stretching the health bars?

I tried a few times last night and gave up. But I'd like to get that squared away before tomorrow night. It would be cool to deveop some UIs that are healer-centric, for us heal clickers.

I just let the ops window alone as I have it just the perfect size to have a 4grp ops show side-by-side in my bottom right corner.

I'll definitely check it out tonight, as i dealt more with the formatting and HUD sizing than the actual resizing of hotbar internal elements.

it's not as clean as my raiding UI for the Burning Crusades expansion in WoW.

That is a brilliant UI Jeezbus and very true.

Oh yea, I'd much rather have my transparent UI that I used in EQ2.

Maybe one day BW will let some of that control go, but in the general direction games are headed, thats a gigantic flaming IF

This could be interesting...several variants for healer-specific UIs.

In other words, a malware distribution hub.

If people want I could figure out how to host UI setups with we want to share. I'm assuming I am slightly more trusted than malware hub.

My bad. I am pretty ignorant of said things.

That being said, I still like looking at some of the ideas out there. I'm guessing that there will be some way better examples in the future.

I have at least one more healing-friendly modification to make to my UI when I get home. I think I now know where to get the .xml file to share it.

Once I have made the change and think its worthwhile I'll submit what I can here....

If you want, I can open up a directory to ftp and url pull from on from my website or use from one of my server boxes in my house. I have an old linksys NAS drive I can plug back in too and has its own ftp and file browser upload/download interface.

Dodd, did you want to shrink just the health and power bars or the whole UI box?

Final UI, I'm gonna stick with this for the time being. Swapped Crew Member and Ops/Group frames since this a healing setup for me and it places the ops/group members closer to my heal icons (since im a clicker).

This is made to allow for a full 6 group ops window to show.
