Showcasing an update to my addon I made as an addition to my UI.

I was planning to keep the appearances more or less of the same size to match the standard UI as much as possible, however, I realized that additional space could be used. Plus, I've added the option to hide the upper part of the UI, thus providing more space for appearances. I've also darkened the background for better immersion.

Since the appearances list is quite long, you can now jump quickly to the appearances of a certain expansion. There is also a comparison list for every slot: you can pin up to five appearances while you browse and compare them all at once.

And remember, this navigation view is optional, you can use the default grid view anytime.

I've been playing WoW for 15 years and I've never been good at working out consistently. Gym? Always quit after three or four months. YouTube full-body workouts? Bailed at minute 15. Apps? Deleted. The pattern was always the same: two or three months of effort, then six months of nothing. I have ADHD, and every workout format I've ever tried just feels like boring homework.

Then I got deep into Classic Hardcore and stopped working out entirely. I was logging four hours a night and I wasn't going to stop. I felt bad about it. So one day I just thought: what if I did both at the same time?

I tried my phone timer first. Every three minutes, pause, do some push-ups, come back. It lasted a week. The timer didn't care if I was mid-combat, and I still had to think up the exercises myself. Boring and annoying, which was the exact problem I was trying to solve.

So I built something smarter.

StrongAura is a WeakAura that watches for real in-game events and fires a short, curated exercise challenge when they happen:

• Quest turn-ins
• Binding your Hearthstone
• Learning a new skill at the class trainer
• Taking a flight path

No planning. No mid-combat interruptions. Sets are always short and simple, under 30 seconds.

>The idea: when my character gets stronger in the game, I get stronger in real life. We level together.

The exercise catalog has 18 movements across chest, back, arms, legs, core, and full body. All calisthenics, no equipment needed. A controller system tracks which body parts you've already hit and picks the next challenge so you're not hammering the same muscles twice in a row. You just play. It figures out the rest.

I built and tuned the whole thing while leveling many hardcore characters from 1 to 30ish (I always die lol) . Early versions were broken (firing mid-dungeon, mid-boss), so I fixed it live and iterated as I leveled up. Now it waits for combat to end. It also uses the dead moments: hop on a flight master, you've got 90 seconds of nothing. That's your set.

There's a stat panel that logs everything: sets per exercise, plank time in minutes, lifetime Body XP. It looks like a second character sheet for your real body. Seeing +19562 Body XP lifetime next to my actual character stats is a feeling I didn't expect.

Six weeks in. Working out 3 to 4 times a week and enjoying it. First time in my adult life that's happened.

My wife thought I was insane. Now she's complimenting my body lol.

It's free. Pun very much intended.

Built it myself, happy to answer questions in the comments.

I run a pretty different setup for PvE and PvP. Different addons loaded, different nameplates, a different UI scale, even a different Edit Mode layout. Every time I swapped content I was flipping all of it by hand, and I got tired of it. So I built a master switch.

Nem: UI Swap is a one-command utility. Type /NemPvE or /NemPvP and it stages your whole interface for that mode, then asks you to reload. One click and everything flips at once.

A single swap can:

• Switch your addon set. It drives an addon-set manager like SimpleAddonManager to load the right set for the mode, no extra reload of its own.
• Switch addon profiles. Any addon that stores its active profile in a saved variable can flip to its PvE or PvP profile (Chattynator, EnhanceQoL, and the like).
• Apply per-mode CVars. UI scale, friendly nameplates, the built-in damage meter, and more. There is a picker of the most commonly swapped PvE/PvP CVars built in, so you do not have to go digging for the names.
• Activate an Edit Mode layout. Loads whichever Edit Mode layout you paired with each mode.

Everything is saved per character. If you trigger a swap in combat it just queues and applies the moment combat ends.

It is just a utility. One command, one reload, and nothing polling in the background between swaps. You set up each side once and then forget about it.

The addon-set piece currently works through SimpleAddonManager. If you use a different addon manager to handle your loaded addons, let me know which one and I will look at adding support for it. That is the main thing I want to grow next.

Curious what interface elements you swap between and what you would want me to cover that it does not yet.

Hello everyone!

I have played World of Warcraft for years, and as a designer I always had this small idea in the back of my head:

“What if the default WoW UI could look a bit nicer, more consistent, and more modern, while still keeping its WoW flavor?”

And this is how W2UI came to life.

One of my main inspirations in terms of aesthetics is Bastion. Yes, I know, it might sound specific, but this location is one of my favorites in the game. It has a serene, clean, and somehow peaceful vibe, and I wanted to recreate some of that feeling in the interface.

At first, I spent quite some time wondering whether the interface should be light or dark. I am a huge fan of light mode interfaces, and one day I would really like to create a bright WoW interface. However, for this project, dark mode simply made more sense. WoW is a game where players spend many hours in front of their screen, dealing with lots of elements and tasks, and a darker interface is usually easier and more comfortable to use.

Before this version was created, there were many concepts, wireframes, mockups, and even interactive prototypes to go through. I wanted something that would feel familiar to Warcraft, but still more refined, more readable, and more coherent. Something adapted for modern resolutions and screen sizes, but not pushed into extreme minimalism or a sci-fi redesign.

I would have liked to try out in W2UI would be using larger almost fullscreen windows for certain of the major game interfaces.

The old WoW windows are quite appealing, however, a lot of them were initially created to fit the old screen resolutions. In addition, through time the game added more and more features such as collections, transmog, group finder, achievements etc. Most of these windows have acquired much more data that needs to be shown, yet at the same time, most of them are still viewed as small popup windows.

I would have liked to treat them as proper system screens rather than small popups.

With larger frame size, you will get more space for better separation, spacing, previews, list readability and visual hierarchy. It will also help you avoid the feeling of having too many tiny windows on your screen.
It also partially follows the current trends in interface design of RPGs/ARPGs, in which screens related to your character, inventory, skills or any collection usually utilize more space on screen and look like fully working environment. It would suit WoW perfectly.

So, for W2UI, it is important to reskin existing frames, but also reconsider some of them and make them larger and more logical windows.

This is just the start. W2UI is planned as a modular UI replacement, and more modules are already in the works.

What is included in this early release

The current version includes:

• Character window
• Group Finder — in beta/early release
• Mini Professions window
• Menu bar
• Mini Map/bag button with info text

There are also basic options to turn off specific modules.

A few notes about limitations

A big part of the development was figuring out how to make custom frames work safely with Blizzard’s API. Some things are allowed, some things can be done with workarounds, and some things simply are not allowed by Blizzard at all.

Known limitations:

• It is not currently possible to create a completely custom PvP frame inside the Group Finder. For now, the best option is to skin the default Blizzard PvP frame, which is planned for a future update.
• The custom Group Finder cannot be opened while in combat. If you try to open it during combat, you will receive a prompt to use the default Blizzard Group Finder instead.

The Group Finder was definitely one of the biggest technical challenges of this release.

There are many window frames in WoW that could use a more consistent visual treatment — collections, achievements, also social features, and many others. Some of them are already being worked on for future releases.

This is only the beginning of a larger project.

Any useful feedback will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to report any bugs, visual issues, or inconsistencies you notice.

Fastest leveling while Timewalking is up right now is to do the Delve quest from 80 to 81/82, then switch to Timewalking and then turn in Delve quests when required xp reached.

Make sure you stack all the XP bonus buffs you can before turning everything in.

You can use this addon to track it all.

Hello every collector of toys! Even if you are only a beginner! If someone still doesn't know, you can mix toy+toy or Toy+spell. Yes, it takes a macro slot, but no if you are using OxedHub!

All your mixes are saved inside the addon. You can use them through the OxedRing (a smart on-mouse-over ring) or use the ActionHub (a smart drag-and-drop action bar you can put anywhere on the screen in any pose/figure as you wish).

P.S. Currently looking for help with localization. I don't wanna make translations AI-made, so if you wish to provide some assistance and meet other toy collectors, feel free to DM or join Discord.
P.P.S. Currently working on Spanish localization (already added but polishing). In progress: Arabic localization.
