To Install
NOTE: For the healing setup, please download Grid2
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/grid2
Step 1
Back up your previous Interface and WTF folders.
Download and drop the Interface and WTF folders in your WoW directory
(Windows XP users)
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft
(Windows Vista / Windows 7 users)
C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft
Step 2
Head into the WTF folder and make sure to rename these folders to your relevant details:
WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME - change to the name of your wow account
WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME/YOURSERVER - change to the name of the server you play on
WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME/YOURSERVER/CHARACTERNAME - change to the name of your character
Step 3
Now boot up WoW, before you enter the world make sure the addon "ShadowmageUI Setup" and "ShadowmageUI Core" is enabled.
Upon entering the world 2 boxes will appear, one asking you which layout you wish to use and another involved with the addon Gnosis. Dismiss the popup box about Gnosis.
Step 4
Read the Dialog box and select which layout you wish to use.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to use the healing layout, please download Grid2 (not supplied)
Your screen should reload and everything should fall into place.
For DPS Layout
Now open up Gnosis with /gnosis and select create options. Expand Gnosis (the little + in the addon list) and go to "Configurations". Once there select "Standard" and press all the buttons that say "Load..." (dont hit Update or Remove).
For Healing Layout
Now open up Gnosis with /gnosis and select create options. Expand Gnosis (the little + in the addon list) and go to "Configurations". Once there select "Heals" and press all the buttons that say "Load..." (dont hit Update or Remove)
NOTE: You may have to reload your UI (/rl) again for some addons to fall into place.
------------------------------------------------
Switching Layout NEW!
To switch layouts, hit the + button under the minimap. It will then ask you which layout you wish to select.

NOTE: Grid2 is needed for the healing layout, as of yet there is no DPS layout for Grid2 you may have to disable it
Updating my UI
In most occasions the only updates I throw out are those to update various addons, if this is the case then you do not need to replace your current WTF folder. But instead just extract the Interface folder. However there will be times when I add stuff or move things around, which you will need to also extract the WTF folder.
Addons
The addons used are listed:
Aurora
BadBoy
Bagnon
Bartender4
DeadlyBossMods
diminfo
Edlyn Grid 2 Layout (used only for healing layout)

Healing Layout Notes
You will need to download Grid2 separately as it does not come with my UI package, you can find a download link here:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/grid2
It is also mainly configured for Priests, so if your not a priest you will have to add your own stuff you want to track. For questions regarding this see here:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info20762-EdlynGrid2Layout.html#info
Warning!
You're free to update any addons that may be outdated or that you wish to replace.
However, I would not recommend updating the following addons as I have personaly editted some of the lua coding or they have been edited by some one else to suit my UI and/or addons may be pulling fonts/textures from other addons:
Deadly Boss Mods
dminfo
oUF_Qulight
MikScrollingBattleText
Resolution
As far as resolution goes, this UI is built for a 1920x1080 widescreen, im not sure whats gunna happen when applied to a bigger/smaller resolution, you may have to play around with the UI scale (Video Options -> Video -> move the bar up and down)
Hidden Aspects
There are 2 hidden bars from bartender, number 10 (on the far right of the screen) and number 9 (far left of the screen) which show upon mouse over.
The micomenu (the small menu which has the buttons to access character sheet, talents etc) is hidden at the bottom, right of the action bars. This also shows upon mouse over.
There is a 4 button slot located in the center(ish) of the screen, this is bartender (bar number 4). I use this to add spells i wish to keep on CD so I can easily track them.
If you dont want these to be hidden, simply type /bartender. Select the appropiate bar, go to the Visibility tab, untick Fade Out (for bar4 also untick the option that makes it unclickable in the general tab).
Other Things You Should Know
- The raid frames is configured so that it WILL NOT show groups 6-8 (But Healing layout with Grid2 will, the frames are configured to get smaller when theres more than 25 people in the raid)

Enjoy! :)
