Description

 

 

Dark Modal UI

Dark Modal UI transforms questing into a dark, cinematic experience. It replaces the default quest and gossip windows with an elegant, book-like interface — NPC portraits, faction emblems, typewriter text — and adds a fully custom quest log with built-in quest intel.

Features

Immersive Quest Dialogs

  • Dark, hand-crafted dialog window with NPC 3D portrait and faction emblem
  • Typewriter text reveal — quest text unfolds character by character (click the panel to skip; can be disabled)
  • Golden quest entry cards for available quests; active quests show golden/gray icons matching their true completion state
  • Quest rewards displayed as 48px icons with quality glow, colored names, and item tooltips
  • Optional backdrop dimming behind the dialog (off by default; opacity adjustable)
  • Blizzard UI sounds for panel open/close and interactions (can be disabled)

Custom Quest Log

  • A fully custom quest log panel (press L) that works identically on every game client, independent of other UI addons
  • Two-column layout: zone-grouped quest list on the left (collapsible groups, difficulty-colored titles: gray/green/yellow/orange/red), full quest details on the right
  • Tags for [Daily], [Group], [Turn In], and tracked quests
  • Shift+Click a quest to link it to chat, Alt+Click to track/untrack
  • Track / Share / Abandon / Show Map buttons — Share is automatically grayed out when you're not in a party
  • Movable window with remembered position

Quest Intel (via Questie)

  • Per-quest intel block: which mobs to kill, items to collect, objects to interact with, and where to turn in — with zone names and exact coordinates
  • 3D model previews for objective mobs and the turn-in NPC
  • Click any intel entry to open the world map and flash Questie's own accurate map icons
  • Without Questie, on clients with native quest POIs (Retail, MoP Classic), a "Track this quest on the map" entry appears instead

Polished Details

  • Flight masters, bankers and other service NPCs are never interrupted — pure service dialogs pass straight through
  • ESC-safe: closing and reopening dialogs behaves exactly like the default UI
  • Movable, resizable text, adjustable UI scale

Bilingual UI

  • Full English / 中文 interface. Defaults to your game client's language; switch anytime with the language button at the top of the options panel

Options

Type /dmu (or open Options → AddOns → DARK MODAL UI):
  • Language switch (English / 中文)
  • Quest text size (10–20)
  • Backdrop dimming on/off + opacity
  • Typewriter text on/off
  • UI sounds on/off
Other commands: /dmu on|off (enable/disable), /dmu ql (quest log), /dmu help (all commands).

Supported Clients

  • Retail (12.0.x)
  • Mists of Pandaria Classic
  • Wrath of the Lich King Classic
  • Burning Crusade Classic
  • Classic Era
Quest intel requires Questie (optional — the addon works fine without it).
