One quick question: WTF?
Video game designers have for years striven to create beautiful, lifelike graphics and increased resolutions so that we can include redonkulous amounts of detail in our games, and the new craze is fonts where each character can be represented with 9 pixels and rune bars that can be represented with 2. I just don't get it.
Translation:
"Blah blah blah, all the cool kids have streamlined designs, but I can't pull off minimalism, blah blah blah. I just don't get it."
No, but seriously, do we need to have the whole pixel font discussion for the 80 billionth time?
And as far as tiny rune bars are concerned, I was told size doesn't matter :(

Wikipedia succesfully resisted "that's what she said"-moment.
But Arkayn, compare it to architecture. We build bigger and bigger homes, yet we make everything inside these spaces smaller than ever before. Penthouses with windows the size of Poland, just like they enjoy the surrounding we enjoy the in-game world. And no that was not a no-life statement. But everyone adores diffrent things.

I guess I just don't like the "pixel font movement," but that's just my taste buds. *shrug* Okay, on with the thread! = )

My UI:
Out of Combat
Normally I would only have rows of 5 like the in combat picture but we had a couple extra people out on standby and a 6th row overlaps. (Go figure we have 30 people on Tuesday and have to 20 man things on Thursdays)
In Combat
Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. As is I plan to filter absorbs on MSBT to only show more crucial ones.
I appreciate what you're trying to do, but you're going about it the wrong way.
You're minimap is relatively huge compared to the amount of open space in your UI. Sure, that might be ok if you're standing around doing nothing but if you're going to have it fade while in combat, have it and everything associated fade 100%. You can still see it, the dots are also 100% opaque.
Thick black bar? Distraction if I ever saw one.Is it suppose to separate something? Because it's not doing a good job.
Unit frames are completely different sizes, looks horrible.
Grid(?) skin looks horrid, especially with all the class colors showing.
Chat and Combat Log text are huge.
Your buttons are huge.
Your range check is overlapping (very minor but still).
I can't tell if you're the priest or the pally, but judging by the broken pally power I'd say priest and you shouldn't have that.
FPS and MS are alone in that big ass bar at the top. Useless.
I think that's enough from me.

My newest UI
, now with text tags pointing out what is what addon... whee!
(note: disregard the Gnome Warlock... my account is off until the Trolls get to take their isle back, so I'm working off a trial account.)
... in all seriousness though... I like pixel fonts because they're small and look good when small. However, if I can get Helvetica into my WoW (all variable font style+size combinations of it), I'd switch over in a heart beat.
I want my UI elements to take up as little room as possible, give as much information as feasible, and be as unobtrusive / gaudy as practicable...
I'm still working on the fonts for my addon, and I really might just throw my hands up and go with Calibri for every damn thing in the game... It bothers the crap out of me that my pixel font will look good at 12pt, but then look like complete crap from 13-19pt. Is 14pt goodness too much to ask? *sighs*
... and I don't care what anyone says... I'm keepin' the 1px white borders/lines. I love 'em.
edit: And I've done just that... switched to Calibri, and it looks quite nice. huzzah!

What's happened to the combat text on the right?
I just moved the default combat text there. :3 It does look a bit weird when it pops some special warnings (5 combopoints, hammer of wrath etc.) when you screenshot but it isn't that pixelated in-game. :)
