Full disclosure: Claude (AI) was used to create this addon for personal use. Not interested in having a debate about the use of AI when it's used by every major corporation in the world including the site we're on right now.

I tried every addon I could find to darken frames, but realized that they were severely limited.

Micromenu: Replaces shop button with bag button, hovering over shows all bags.

Minimap: Pressing the time opens the clock menu. Pressing date opens calendar. Pressing zone opens world map. Hovering the minimap shows tracker, player coordinates and addon buttons.

Other changes: Removed WoW's native backgrounds/artwork for damage meter and objectives tracker. Added some light dark gloss to the action bar buttons. Increased the healthbar height slightly. Reskinned most elements into either black, white or grey.

The addon doesn't provide any QoL features other than the option to fade or hide elements from the native edit mode.

Seen a lot of discourse about AI on this subreddit last few days, so sadly too many people. Thank you though! I'm really happy with it

All these idiots on here "care". They come into every addon post and yap about "AI sLoP". Absolute cancer

u/Kaltac 16h ago

Oh yea I agree there. I made a mock up of an addon I wanted to see if it would be wanted. All I got was Ai slop this and that so I made it myself and I gave it to my community and that's the only ppl who get it

Claude’s changing the world. Anyone pushing back against it chooses to live under rocks.

We are all using it! Love your work

u/kaos95 1d ago

Same way I've went, I'm just making addons specifically for me.

I have no desire to get caught up in an AI witchhunt when I just want a better cast bar and swing timer.

u/Party-Hat-2474 1d ago

AI or not, looks very cool and I'm you'll have a blast using it! Are you considering to share it sometime? Would love to give it a go

I'm also thinking of doing some personal tweaking on the Unit Frames. Not a fan of the small tint they added to show Friendly / Hostile / Neutral.

Do Claude require any kind of setup to be able to help with making addons?

u/WaffleTruffleTrouble 1d ago

Looks very clean and minimalistic. Looking forward to see it on release!

u/Asbjeeeern 1d ago

That’s one of the best I have seen!

Can you add contested zone names? I use the standard mini map in wowf right now and i was surprised it didnt show in any way what type of zone i walked into. Kind of important on a pvp server.

u/Dersoe 1d ago

Like ewlynn should be blue. Barrens should be red. Ashenvale should be orange

u/Uffeff 1d ago

This is most likely an issue that will be addressed by Blizzard, as the native client should have that by default.

u/Krusad3rx 5h ago

Can this be shared with us to be used ?

u/jw126 4h ago

Any tips on how you prompted the AI to make the Quest tracker that narrow?

If possible, I would love any info you have on that; addon file, information from the ai conversation about how to edit it etc.

Have a UI im super happy with, but the only thing missing is making the tracker narrower while still keeping the look I have now (EllesmereUI)

List them addons. What gradient texture are you using for your dog meters

u/CAlTHLYN 1d ago

It is very important to find a solid one color background for the screenshot 😂

u/therealmistersister 1d ago

That looks great. Wouldn't mind to give a try if you released it.

Who cares if it's AI, as long as it works as intended!

u/tech151 1d ago

I'm definitely interested in something like this! I've been trying to build a clean and functional UI all beta long with the native elements, but it's been difficult lol.

u/AdHot7222 1d ago

Very clean!

u/RESSURSBRUK 1d ago

Nice job. Looks good. I’ve also made my own II using Claude and it is amazing!

u/Uffeff 1d ago

Helt enig!

u/Leoventidue 1d ago

can you share it? I really like it

2

u/Uffeff 1d ago

Thank you! Will probably be after launch, still fixing bugs and changing things, if you want to test things you can message me in private here

2

u/Leoventidue 1d ago

Sadly I don’t own the beta, but I’m looking forward to using this at launch!

u/Tastyd0nut 21h ago

Please do OP! This is amazing and exactly the type of minimalistic dark themed UI I'm looking for <3

u/m0n01yth 1d ago

I thought this addon was black and white. Why do I still see color? /s

u/Krizerion 1d ago

Looks great. What addons are you using?

u/mayumayu 1d ago

Wow this looks clean AF!
Could you create an addon out of this setup?

u/Friendly_Pepperoni 1d ago

Share your folder with us - just tried to recreate this with chatgpt and it was an awful failure.

1

u/Kaltac 16h ago

Lol Chatgpt is just terrible for making addons
