If you update to MonoUI 12.0 (+) from previous versions, you have to perform full reinstall of this UI.
Make sure to check CHANGE LOG as there's been allot of changes made including .cfg files structures.
This UI was originally designed for multiple resolutions ranging from 1280*1024 to 1920*1080.
So unless your resolution is lower than 1280*XXX you should need no changes to use this interface
Most add-ons are configured through editing lua files and do not have any GUI.
If you don't want to learn HOW TO modify those files - don't use this UI.
Also please keep in mind that I develop this interface to fit MY needs, thus
if you want some specific functionality implemented - you got to explain why that particular feature is so important.
Short Information:
specially for TL/DR people
What it is:
Easy to set-up,
Lightweight & CPU-friendly,
Minimalistic Interface with support for multiple resolutions.
What it's NOT:
easy to configure (all configuration options are located in .lua files);
SUPER-OMFGWTFBBQ-lightweight (because sometimes usability > memory usage);
single add-on UI (I like to keep it sort of modular).
Installation:
1) *IMPORTANT* Back up your Fonts, Interface and WTF folders before you even look at any of the files inside the package.
2) Unpack this archive into your WOW folder
Fine-tunning:
LUA Editor:
To edit lua files (like cfg.lua) you should use one of the available editors with code highlight like Notepad++ or SciTe (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4989-SciTE-WOWInterface.html).

Mount macro:
This macro will automatically pick a mount for you based on whether its possible or not using a specific type of mount.
/script Mountz("your_ground_mount","your_flying_mount","your_water_mount")
the addon will pick a propper mount depends on the location you are in (including Vashj'ir). Holding CTRL will override flyable condition, and holding ALT will override swimable condition in Vashj'ir.
Extra information (F.A.Q.):
Do not ask me any questions about how to change this interface to fit your needs.
Do not use auto-updaters to download new versions of add-ons.
BACKUP your cfg.lua files and everything else you modified before you update to the latest version.
hovering your mouse with ALT key pressed over an itemlink, achievement or ability in chat window will bring up the tooltip
you can set custom auto-invite word in m_Tweaks\cfg.lua (default one is 'inv')
you can access MicroMenu buttons (charracter, friends etc.) by right-clicking Minimap.
right click the "Config" button to make extra actionbars bars visible, middle click allows you to enter key-binding mode.
m_Tweaks contains various interface modifications and QoL scripts that will automate some procedures in game for you. If you want to disable some functionality check cfg.lua.
You can associate your equipment set with your current spec by ALT+clicking the required set in Broker_Equipment dropdown tooltip. That will 'tie' selected set to the current spec so next time you swap talents to this spec the add-on will automatically swap your gear set.
To set your party frames look like raid frames open oUF_mono\cfg.lua and then under raid category find and change = false, value to true and in 'party' section = true, to false.
MonoUI v.12 introduces new way to manage your cfg.lua files and more importantly keep them when you update your UI. This feature's handled by !mCFG add-on. You can simply paste your cfg.lua files in a respective folder and all MonoUI add-ons will be able to use those local versions of configuration files. In case you want to switch back to the default state of the UI, but keep all your modifications - you can simply disable !mCFG add-on.
