Very Important setup instructions:
Please do not delete or switch any profiles created in the UI for the following addons:
- Shadowed Unit Frames
- Class Timers
- Quartz
- Grid
You can modify the looks of each profile if you wish just do not change the profiles because KgPanel scripts are used that depend upon the correct profile being used.
How to install:
Helpful Preview of the UI which includes a tutorial of how to set it up:
YouTube Preview & Tutorial Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfv5yWRe5cU)
1. Back up your old WTF, Interface and/or fonts folder by moving them to a new location out of your WoW folder.
2. Download and Extract the new UI and move the new WTF, Interface and Fonts folder into your WoW folder.
You need to pick the correct WTF folder depending on what resolution you use (1920x1080, 1680x1050 or 1440x900). Delete the other one your not using. Rename the WTF folder that you need to use to say just "WTF" without the quotes.
3. Rename WoW/WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME into your WoW Account Name (not your battle.net account name. Make sure you type it all in Caps)
4. Rename WoW/WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/Realm to your main Realm name (e.g. Sunstrider)
5. Rename WoW/WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/Realm/Character to your WoW Character (e.g. Mayron).
There is a helpful .txt file in the UI Pack that contains instructions on how to copy over all your saved settings, Key Bindings and Macros.
6. Load WoW and change the sound, video and interface settings to your preference. Do not change the UI scale as this will make some addons load incorrectly.
I recommend turning off the "Display LUA errors" in the help section of the interface options when in game as some errors appear to be unfixable but do not cause actual problems.
7. Next, turn on all addons on the addon menu and tick "Load out of date addons".
MayronSetup will be disabled by default. Make sure that it is enabled! Log into WoW with the character you set the WTF folder character name to.
8. Press the Setup button on the dialog box. - If it is not there you can just type "/reflux switch MayronUI".
9. You will need to manually drag and resize the chat box to the correct position using the screenshots as a guide (Right click the General tab and press unlock).
If you want to place the Chat Box in the bottom left hand corner of the screen instead of the top left hand corner, you can switch the Art to better match this position. Please read the F.A.Q's to learn about how to do this!
10. Recount maybe out of place when you open it up. This is a very old recount bug that I doubt will be fixed so you may need to move it by going into the options and un-tick the lock window button and simply drag it to a more suitable place. There will be a button to access these options on the recount window when it appears.
The button on the left of the Chat box will have a D for DPS Mode or H for Healer Mode. Simply Click it to change between the two!
Extra: I recommend downloading your choice of a boss mod as it does not come with the UI:
Deadly Boss Mods (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/deadly-boss-mods)
BigWigs (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/big-wigs)
Extra: I also recommend downloading the following addons depending on what you need for your characters:
Balance Power Tracker (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info18000-BalancePowerTracker.html) - For Balance Druids Only
Shields Up (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/shieldsup) - For Restoration Shamans
Rune It All (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/runeitall) For Death Knights (The Rune Bar)
Extra: You may also be interested in downloading:
Power Auras Classic (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/powerauras-classic)
Useful Slash Commands:
/ltp - This opens up Leatrix Plus which contains very useful general settings. Worth looking through.
/suf - Settings for the Unit Frames (Shadowed Unit Frames)
/bar - Bartender Settings (Action Bars)
/kgpanels config - Settings for all the graphical art panels being used - Can become very technical.
/rl - Reloads the UI
/classtimer - Settings for the timers on the top of the palyer and target frame - You can remove and add additional tiemrs through this.
/align - Places a Grid over the screen so that you can align UI elements easily.
Tips:
Holding the Alt key while left clicking on a Quest in the Quest Log will automatically Abandon that quest for you.
How Healing Mode works
I changed the way Healing Mode works so that the target frame is now the Focus Frame as well as switching target of target and focus frames in the same way. I also switched the target cast bar for the focus cast bar. The reason for this is that I like to have the Focus frame set for the Boss so I can see the Boss casting an important ability as well as seeing its buffs as well as a bigger and clearer unit frame.
To heal I do not use Clique however you can download it if you wish. I use mouse over macros like the following:
#showtooltip
/target mouseover
/cast Healing Wave
I use this type of macro for all my healing spells and use these two macros to set the focus frame:
1./focus targettarget
2./focus mouseover

F.A.Q
Q: How do I open up the Calendar?
A: Middle-click anywhere on the mini-map to show the Calendar. If you don't have a middle button (the mouse wheel) then you will need to left click on the time on the mini-map.
Q: How do I add other buff/debuff timers to the class timers above the player and target frames?
A: Type /classtimer and press Timers on the left. If you find it in the lists in the Tabs tick it. If not then go on "Extras" and type the name of the buff/debuff and press enter.
Q:Where do I find the experience Bar?
A: The Experience Bar is hidden on mouse over at the top of the screen. Only shows up on characters who have not reached the maximum level yet.
Q: How can I get the Expand and Retract button to show in the latest update?
A: You need to press and hold the Alt key while out of combat
Q: Why can I not see the Death Knight Rune Bar or the Balance Druid Tracker Bar?
A: I have taken the addons out of the UI that control this because I no longer wish to maintain them currently however if you read the UI installation instructions, I have placed links to where you can download them. You will need to set them up yourself. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Q: The icons that are meant to be on the left of the chat box such as the bartender icon are floating on my screen and not in the proper place. How do I fix this?
A: That problem usually only occurs if you have altered the UI scale. That's docking station and can be a pain. To fix this you need to move them manually by doing the following:
1. type: /dockingstation
2. On the list of options. Maximize the list "Panel Options"
3. Go to Position and un-tick "Lock"
4. It will allow you to drag them into position. Follow the screen shots for examples of where they should go.
Q: The second action bar at the bottom of the UI is showing itself when it should be hidden and is over the top of the Unit Frames. How do I fix this?
A: This should never happen but if it does then copy/paste the following commands and enter them in-game:
/run Bartender4.Bar.barregistry:SetVisibilityOption("always",true)
/run Bartender4.Bar.barregistry:SetVisibilityOption("always",true)
and then reload the UI:
/rl
Q: How do I swap the chat box art to better suit my chat box being positioned in the bottom left hand corner of the screen instead of the default top left hand corner?
A: This feature can only be used for 1920x1080 and 1680x1050 resolutions. There is not enough space to place it in the bottom left corner for 1440x900.
1. Type "/kgpanels config" and under Layouts, select and activate "Bottom Left Chat Box"
2. Type "/rl" to reload the UI.
3. You will then need to manually drag the chat box by right clicking on tab 1 (The General Tab) and clicking on "Unlock Window" and click, hold and drag that tab which will move the chat box and move to the bottom left of the screen.
4. You will then need to tweak a few things such as moving the party frames and raid frames on the DPS mode to the top left hand corner.
5. You will also need to move the Docking Station data icons to the new chat box location.
6. Type "/dockingstation" and go to Panel Options. Maximize the list using the + button and go to Position. Untick "Lock". This will let you carefully drag each data icon. Move them to the new position of the chat box.
