Many thanks to the generosity of Elcarath for allowing 3 very cool skins to be added to this project.
I would like to thank Excelis, Nonspecific, mfrnka and the addon authors without whom FauxMazzle would not be half the product it is today. As always, a big thank you to MazzleFizz for the original MazzleUI.
Release 6.1.2
Requires running the FauxMazzle process once.
New: The bottom left hotspot toggles the Draenor zone ability button.
Updated: Latest known addons included.
End of release notes.
What is FauxMazzle?
FauxMazzle is a look and feel tribute to MazzleFizz's once great MazzleUI that sadly didn't make it out of the Burning Crusade.
What do you get?
Background textures that although not Mazz's, I consider are a reasonable approximation. If you have the textures from the original MazzleUI (including those from other authors that were part of the pack), they should also work with FauxMazzle. If you do have Mazzlefizz's original textures please DO NOT publish/upload/share them, Mazzlefizz was very specific about the use of MazzleUI code and art.
3 additional skins from the original MazzleUI compilation, courtesy of Elcarath (see the screenshots).
An in-game configuration dialog for the "configurable" addons listed.
The ability to choose your own replacement addons (which you will have to configure yourself).
The ability to switch off/on configuration of individual addons should you want to make and preserve your own changes or play around and then re-apply the default settings.
A MazzleUI style HUD with additional Druid mana/pet health insert.
The joy of once again seeing a cool MazzleUI style layout without hours (and hours and ....) of fiddling around.
The ability to have this quick, easy setup for all your characters new and old.
Suspiciously Missing!
FauxMazzle does not include bag, data broker/information bar or quest log addons (it does include a way to move the ObjectiveTracker window).
While MazzleUI included these types of addons, there are many flavours of each now available at WoWInterface.com and they don't overly impact on the overall look in-game, choose the one that works best for you.
