WOW i love this never knew yu could do this stuff till i saw in some other vids with the transparency and was searching so many times in google but till now just found just what i need ;p
A very nice video, thanks a lot for making it. I'm now considering using elvUI, but one concern I have is that other times when I've tried installing a completely different UI like this, it's taken up a lot of addon memory, causing the game to load much slower than normally. What effect does elvUI have regarding memory? Also, how is it with profiles? If I make a lot of changes on one character, will it look exactly like that on all other characters? Thanks in advance, and again: Great video!
+cantfindaname123421 Thank you very much! ElvUI memory usage is pretty unnoticeable and lower than it would be using multiple addons to skin and add the various other features it does. The best way to keep memory usage down is by not overlapping addons that do the same thing. I didn't mention it in the video, I'll put a comment up top too. ElvUI's profile settings allow you to configure keybinds and UI layout globally or per character. Setting up one UI layout with keybinds and all on one character, saving that profile and then applying it each new character is easy, quick and painless.
Ive installed the ElvUI and marked it in the Addons windows and when i Enter the world with a character nothing pops up and there is no C button and /ec doesnt work what should i do?
that's odd. Do you have any other mods for the UI running like sexy map or bartender? If so, disable all add-ons except for ElvUi and ElvUi_Config and load into game to see if it works then. Make sure you are using the latest ElvUi version from the website. Alternatively if you're playing on a private realm, try to find a version that works with whatever version of the game you're on.
that is probably why. unfortunately I don't think ElvUI or TukUI support older versions or Warcraft than the live servers. an interface package from WoWInterface would probably work better. but you'll have to make sure that your add-on works for whatever version you're playing on.
Hey man your video was clear and easy to follow and i've got myself set up as i wanted only issue is every time i change zone i get an Lua error C stack overflow, something to do with blizzard class name plates ? i can't seem to fix it and was wondering if you had any advice ! Thanks !
um make sure ElvUI is up to date and try disabling ElvUI's nameplates just to see if the error continues... make sure to disable all other nameplates add-ons for the same reason. if the error continues, run a repair on your game from the battle net launcher. other than that I really don't know :/
+Tommyruin Gaming I use After Effects to make the animations and Premiere to edit my videos ^ ^ The rest is Audacity for Sound and Nvidia's Shadowplay for recording
+ZynxTV Ok similar set up to myself! thanks and good luck:) I'm trying to build my channel up too, always looking for ways to improve my production quality!
You can indeed. I've explained elsewhere in the comments but what you would need to do is disable all the other modules from within the ElvUI config itself. Unless there is a standalone version of Elv's bags out there (I'm not aware of one) you would have to just disable all the elements you don't want. Under each tab there should be an enable/disable check box at the top of the menu :)
Im curious, is it possible to install specific elements from ElvUI instead of the entire UI? I really like the bags and minimap+buff tracker to the right of it however I wanna keep the rest of my own UI
+Cruzix Since ElvUI functions as a skinning addon with extra functions, every element just reskins the look of the default UI. If there are elements you don't want, just uncheck the "Enable" option under each setting. For example, if you want default action bar, uncheck the Enable option under the Actionbars section to disable ElvUI managing them. imgur.com/OUel7zU This is more or less what you want? (The bags are still enabled just not shown) In order to get rid of Data Text panels, you can disable them under the Datatext menu -> Panels Under the Chat section, use the dropdown menus to change the backdrop to "Hide Both". Set the editbox position to be above the chat and then just adjust the chat height and width accordingly. Use the toggle anchors action to move the chat "window" around to position the editbox where you want it.
+ZynxTV Thanks and yeah the image is pretty much how I want it :P however I noticed you can't download ElvUI through curse client, whys that? :O Its an easy way to keep addons updated so its kinda sad its not there :(
Yeah Elv isn't associated with curse but they do have a seperate client for keeping it up to date. It does give you a message in game when there is a new version and the Tukui.org website isn't too out of the way
+ZynxTV Been messing around abit with it and I'm very happy with the result :D Theres 1 issue though which I have no idea how to fix; Whenever I relog/login then the chat background from ElvUI will overlap my chat (Using Prat) - Do you know how to fix this?, I can get the chat above the background by clicking on the history button from prat which is in the top left corner of the chat (barely visable) but its just abit annoying to have to do that every time I login Heres some images imgur.com/a/UWoVH
Hi all, While doing quests in a vehicle / flight the action bar is not showing. I've looked for it but obviously not in the right place. Can someone point me in the right direction please, I'm going mad!
I'm not at home right now so I couldn't check but: Make sure you're using Actionbar 1 somewhere on you're screen as by default that's the action bar that uses vehicle buttons. 2. There might be an option on one of the action bar pages (options for action bar 1) to use it for vehicle swapping or something to that degree. Ill check later to make sure.
in my ingame addon list i can't see the addon ''elvui'' for some odd reason.. i wnt to Tukuri.org and installed Elvui, extarcted it to the addons folder in WoW, but still cant see my it on my list, ive tried converting to WinRar and eveything.. but stil doesn't work can someone please help? :(
My chat looks like the normal blizzard chat, (the general tabs and logs) not like urs. i didnt change or do anything it just was like that from the start how do i get the chat art style like the one u got?
Seen Sean make sure that you don't have another chat addon active (though if you did ElvUI will ask you to disable either its chat or the other addon) In the ElvUI menu in one of the left hand tabs, there will be a section for "skinning" add-ons and the UI. Make sure that the chat is skinned with ElvUI and not Blizzard's UI. And reload your UI after that. Also try just disabling chat and re enabling it after a /reload. I hope it helps ^ ^
I got some problems with some system frame poppin up, basiclly something that tells me my fps Memory and etc. also Proffesion frames. How do i remove em'?
the system frame *should only be popping up when you mouse over the small datatext box under your chat or wherever you've decided to put it. If it's popping up randomly for no reason then I would suggest reinstalling ElvUI and making sure your game is in full screen mode to test. Sometimes when a game is borderless/windowed then the mouse can get "stuck" outside the frame while still interacting with mouseovers in game. Edit: If you go into the ElvUI menu and go the Skins tab, you should be able to disable the skinning for profession frames by unchecking the box.
Type "/ec" into the chat and press Enter. If that does not open up the config menu and you do not see the "ElvUI" option in the menu when you press Escape, double check in the addons menu to see that it is checked and loaded.
thanks for the guide i was lost in all the options
great video if you know all about this UI.. new users you FAILED
WOW i love this never knew yu could do this stuff till i saw in some other vids with the transparency and was searching so many times in google but till now just found just what i need ;p
I spy TradeSkillMaster :) Thanks for using our addon! Great video too, I have used ElvUI for AGES!
+Muffin Man Oh no! I've been found! Jk jk thanks for making such a great addon! :D I'd be absolutely lost without it. Thank you ^ ^
how do I access the elvui setup screen since the C button is removed and there is no /ec command in the prepatch of legion?
you press the ESC key on your keyboard and in the menu for world of warcraft there is ElvUI right there
no its not
GREAT vid, thanks heaps!!
Nice intro video but I would mind a 'deep dive' into Shadow and Light' if you could find the time.

ZynxTV Alright, sounds good! Thank you very much
cantfindaname123421 Not a problem ^ ^
ElvUI normally uses around 10 mb of memory, quite a bit, but less than having all the features in separate addons. (not including plugins)
I'm having trouble assigning key bindings to Bar 6. Not seeing the option in Game Menu -> Key Bindings
Ive installed the ElvUI and marked it in the Addons windows and when i Enter the world with a character nothing pops up and there is no C button and /ec doesnt work what should i do?

Ive downloaded ElvUI with the Tukui Client and i only have that mod and yes im playing on a private server

this not ElvUI IT's shadow and light ElvUI
I can only change the skin of my cast bar but there is no option for me to change for self frame and target. help?

thanks updated it and all is good again ! much appreciated !
my sle is installed but is not showing up in the elvui interface
Very professional, congrats :)
+Tommyruin Gaming Thank you! That means a lot! :D
+ZynxTV what software did you make your intro in?:)
+Tommyruin Gaming I use After Effects to make the animations and Premiere to edit my videos ^ ^ The rest is Audacity for Sound and Nvidia's Shadowplay for recording

+Tommyruin Gaming Thank you! I really enjoy your vids man, keep it up :D
Hello i have a question.
how can i activate the Action bar where i can click the dungeon Browser? would be nice if you help me
But where i can see pets or mounts??? I can.t find them
thank you
Any way to use some parts of the elv ui? For example is there a way to use the elv uis bag skin on a default ui?
You can indeed. I've explained elsewhere in the comments but what you would need to do is disable all the other modules from within the ElvUI config itself. Unless there is a standalone version of Elv's bags out there (I'm not aware of one) you would have to just disable all the elements you don't want. Under each tab there should be an enable/disable check box at the top of the menu :)
ZynxTV So i have to download the addon and than go through its menu? If i download the addon can i disable everything but the bag skin?
+Koala#1 you should be able to, yes
my elvui just says error for the 10.77 update for bfa??? help

outro sounds like sonic, dont remember the name?
chat font is too small, and i cant find the option to make it bigger, plus i cant move stuff in my casbars, theyre locked
Fives ARC the option to change font size should be when you right click the tab above the actual chat window, irrespective of ElvUI or not :)
