Description
FlareUI
Your friendly UI overhowl
FlareUI is a lightweight modular interface addon for WoW: Forever that improves and extends Blizzard's UI without replacing its original look. The goal is to keep the feel of playing with that beautiful default bronze interface while making everything a bit better and more functional.
Everything functionality is split into modules you switch on as needed, so you only load what you actually use.
Want to use another addon for Unit Frames? Leave the module off. Only want the Chat? Turn it on and nothing else.
Getting started: Install the addon and log in. A welcome window will point you to the settings, so you can turn on the modules you want. Type /fui to open settings anytime.

FAQ
Will FlareUI come to Retail or Classic WoW?
No plans. I'm only playing Forever and have very little free time. But if anyone wants to do the work to adapt FlareUI to other game versions, let me know!
How do I make the UI look even cooler?
LS: Borders. It is an awesome collection of border textures by Lightspark and I use them on all my unitframes. You'll just have to add Forever's version (16001) to the first line in ls_Borders.toc, otherwise the borders won't load. The .toc first line should look like this after the edit: "## Interface: 120000, 120001, 16001"
Something broke or I have an idea. How do I reach you?
Leave a comment here or open an issue at project's github. You can also send me a message through Discord, but I'm not really active there.
Can I edit FlareUI, or use its code in my own addon?
Yes. FlareUI's code is under the MIT License. The only thing I ask is credit to FlareUI if you publish something built on it.
Why "FlareUI"? And why a dog?
Flare is the name of a personal game project and the name of the doggie protagonist. The project is in hiatus for lack of time and resources (if you are a game dev/designer/artist and want to collaborate, give me a holler!)
How do I support this addon?
Play the game, have fun, maybe carry my sorry butt through some dungeons. If you want to toss a coin my way, I guess you can. But you should instead support one of the addon creators on the inspirations list below.
