I'm using the GypsyMod UI. This is probably the clearest screenshot I have
GypsyMod UI in action
Some of the key features:
- Double row of hotbar icons. I use keypresses for the bottom row (1 through =) and manually click on the icons for the top row.
- Big icons for buffs and debuffs below the minimap. Not only do you know exactly what is cast on you, but how much longer it will last. Hovering over the icons displays the effect.
- Health, mana and XP all expressed as numbers
What you can't see:
- GypsyMod's "Page on press" feature. Instead of the default system for swapping hotbars you can turn on "page on press". When you press a key, it switches to the second sets of toolbars. When you release the key it snaps back. I found with the shift-switching that I would swap hotbars in battle then forget to switch back. "Why am I not casting anything?"
I've reconfigured my icon placement a bit as I've added new skills. For instance the five toolbar slots above the bags on the second row don't change, so I stuck my "talk" macros there (voice emotes for /helpme, /heal, /incoming and /oom).
On the main toolbar the bottom row contains all my "combat" spells, while the top row contains curses and less used spells (as well as bandages). I've kept some slots free for grouping and to add icons on a situational basis.
The second toolbar contains the skills I'll use between battles: pet summoning, healthstone and soulstone creation, unending breath, plus all my trade skill triggers. Working well so far.
I'll have to make a screenshot of my current set-up sometime.
