HarrekUI

This is not a full UI replacement, this addon focuses on adding little bits of extra functionality to the default ui and making it easier to set up new characters. Your ui elements will still be the default ones from blizzard but some specific features that we're lacking have been added and the set up is automatic.

HarrekUI is a quick-setup addon for Harrek's interface. It comes with an EditMode profile and a full set of cvars pre-configured so the whole ui will look in a specific way with the click of a button. On top of changing your default settings automatically, the addon also has a full set of custom-coded functionality added on top of default elements, all of which can be turned on or off individually.

Usage

The addon is divided in two parts: One part handles default WoW settings, the other is custom coded tweaks. You will get a pop-up on first log in with a little bit of an explanation about how the addon is set up, this pop-up will only show the first time you log in after installing.

Every time you log in on a new character you will get asked if you want to set up the ui for that character: Clicking yes activates the HarrekUI edit mode profile and changes your settings to match the preset, clicking no hides the pop-up for this session, and clicking 'not for this character' will make it never show again on that toon. This selection affects native settings of WoW, and the changes will persist even if you uninstall the addon.

The second part adds a wide array of extra functionalities. Most of these are active from the moment you start the game with the addon installed and are controlled by the settings accessed via /hui or the default options menu. You can turn these on or off at any moment and these do require the addon to be installed to work. Some options are disabled by default, and all them are listed below.

Default Configurations

For the default settings, the first part is the addon importing and enabling the HarrekUI layout, which positions most of the elements. Right after all the cvars are set to their default values. This part involves changing data on WoW's default options so the elements changed here will remain so even if you uninstall the addon, but all of these are simply specific options on the default options panel so everything can be changed back. For a full list of the cvars changed and their values see the end of this page
