To have this Ui working you have to move folder AddOns and WTF into your
Wow folder and rename some folders in WTF folder:
World of Warcraft
|_ Interface
|_AddOns
World of Warcraft
|_ WTF
|_Account
|_Enter your account name (this 1 with caps)

|_Enter your character name
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

drkstjustice saidBTW, the way I fixed the resolution problem was by adjusting the slider in my ingame video options. I checked "Use UI Scale" and slid it around until everything fit and could be read. The only problem I'm having now is I can't see my own health and mana bars. Any suggestions?

drkstjustice saidnevermind. I figured out how to put everything on my screen so it could be viewable. I'm a little upset though that I can't move my xp bar around and that there's no bag slot counter like in the TitanPanel. Now I just need to figure out what all the bars and stuff do and what they mean. Heh. Also gotta figure out how to make my PallyPower work with this UI. Other than that, it's a perfect UI. Thanks!

drkstjustice saidI like the feel of the UI, first of all. I see that it's got several other addons in it. However, with my Dell Inspiron 1520, it's not very easy at all for me to see everything. I have to constantly change things. I don't even know what addons are in this UI to go and look up how they work, individually, so I can try and make sure that I get the full benefit of this UI. If there was maybe a list of the addons in this UI, or even a guide to using this UI, that would be awesome. Other than that, everything looks great. Just having a hard time figuring it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
