Reader UI of the Week: Adding to a UI compilation {WoW}
Sep 7th 2011 12:20AM The best thing to do right now is wait for Elv 3.0 which has movable and configurable action bars. He has a section in his forums showing off the modules of Elv 3.0 that are closer to finish including the customization demo of his new action bars module.
Addon Spotlight: Updated UI packages for 4.0.1 {WoW}
Nov 28th 2010 11:55AM I have been a user of both LUI and RealUI. They are both awesome UIs and to be honest I still can't decide which is better.
LUI
pros: It is VERY customizable. Almost everything can be customized to your liking in-game, without knowing anything about lua. It is a robust package and runs efficiently. It integrates other addons nicely and you can replace the default ones without a lot of hassle. The layout and color schemes are BEAUTIFUL.
cons: Updates can be late in the coming, LUI is a very busy person. It has a cult like following and there are some nasty elements to deal with if you have anything less than fabulous to say about UI... which can get annoying when you are looking for help or information.
RealUI
pros: The layout of the UI is the work of a genius! I mean you have all the critical info right in the middle of screen and it's not blocking your view. The author is extremely helpful with user queries and responds in a timely manner. If you get used to it, it will be HARD to go to any other UI.
cons: If you get used to it, it will be HARD to go to any other UI. There are some elements I wish I could customize further to my liking. It's not built from the ground up as a complete package like LUI so it may not be as efficient. It's not as easy replacing the included addons like skada or grid or arkinventory as it is in LUI.
In the end, I have been sold on the genius layout of key UI elements of RealUI and have been using it exclusively since 4.0.1 but I recommend users to try both of them and give each a week at least :)
