New ButtonFacade skin
Introduction
Hi, I'm emeral and this is my UI. In a nutshell, the main "philosophy" behind this UI is only showing information I need and hiding that information when I don't need it -- in addition to providing pleasing (to me, atleast) aesthetics. I wouldn't recommend this UI for full-time healers as most will find the raid frames too barebone to be effective. This was set up in a 16:10 environment, a version for 5:4 resolutions can be found in the optional files tab. No UI scaling is used, same goes for multi-sampling.
No action bar addon is included.
The UI is fairly memory efficient (~7-10 MB) and has low CPU usage partly due to simplistic unit frames.
If you encounter any errors or bugs, please let me know.
Anyway, I hope you like it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Installation
The .RAR file includes folders AddOns, Fonts, SavedVariables and files Black.tga, Minimap.tga, chat-cache.txt, layout-local.txt.
Remove (and maybe backup) the contents of your WTF and Interface folders. Move Fonts to the root of your WoW folder.
Move AddOns, Black.tga and Minimap.tga to your Interface folder.

After you log in type /emeralUI in the chat to load addon profiles and correct UI settings.
Functionality
The following is a detailed summary of the UI's functionality.
Unit frames
The player frame consists of a mana bar and a health bar. The target frame has the same, in addtion to name (spell name while casting), health percentage and combo points. The focus only has name text and health percentage. The same goes for the pet frame, but the name is replaced with happiness level while the pet is unhappy. The group frames show name, health percentage and debuff notifications (only debuffs you can remove). While debuffed the font is bold. Players out of range fade.
Type /emeralUF to move the frames.
Buffs and debuffs
Buffs with a duration of less than two minutes and all debuffs are shown in the bottom left corner while the the ones with more than two minute durations are shown in the bottom right corner. The bottom right frame is only visible on mouse-over.
White inner border for buffs, red for debuffs.
Stack count is visible on all buffs/debuffs while remaining duration is only shown when time < 10 sec.
Fonts
Calibri is used throughout the UI.
Tooltip
Shows level when 80 > level < 80. Name colored by class. Health percentage. Race (creature type if NPC). NPC classifiction (elite, boss, etc). Guild. Race/creature type is colored according to their reaction reaction towards you.
Minimap
Right click for calendar, middle click to bring up the tracking menu.
Dot/effect timers
Combat text
Alerts you when you lose/gain buffs/debuffs, enter/leave combat. Shows your outcoming/incoming damage/healing/dispelling etc.
Name plates
Shows a health bar and name. Has a red border when you have aggro. Useful for tanking and knowing when you over-aggro.
Casting bar
Embedded latency bar.
Health percentages are only shown when health is not max.
Added player titles.
Added NPC titles (Leader of the <faction>, <Class> trainer etc).
Red and yellow reaction colors are now the colors of the Death Knight and Rogue classes.
Version 1.9 changes
Player, target, pet and focus frames can now be moved. Type /emeralUF for a list of commands.
Fontain removed; font substitutions now done in emeralCore.
Raid warning and boss emote font changed to match the rest of the UI.
local health = emeralUF.bars(health, target, 16, "TOP", target, "TOP", 0, 0)
target.health = health
local power = emeralUF.bars(power, target, 3.5, "TOP", health, "BOTTOM", 0, -1)
target.power = power
Hi there! Firstly.. you have awesome UI. I've kinda tweaked it to my own needs but can't find out how to swap power bar location from top to bottom on target frame?
First, let me say how much I love your UI. My search for the perfect UI quickly ended when I came upon this page. I also love the fact that you leave it without action bar addons, it made it a quick switch and all my hotkeys stayed the same.
Now the only thing I am wondering is how to adjust the transparency of the unit frames (player, target, and pet "black bars") if at all possible.
Still the UI is very pleasing to the eye, especially when recording videos. I hope you keep up the great work!!
Alrighty. I didn't look too far into it. I though just the Emeralcore addon or something like that hid the actionbars somehow. Thanks for getting back to me!
