Description
HeritageUI is a complete interface overhaul for World of Warcraft, inspired by the ancient aesthetics of night elf heritage.
INSTALLATION
1. Install **HeritageUI** (this project).
2. Download **HeritageUI Assets** from my Discord channel.
3. Extract the Assets archive so the **HeritageUI_Assets** folder sits **next to** HeritageUI in your AddOns directory:
```
World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
HeritageUI\
HeritageUI_Assets\
```
Do not nest one inside the other — both folders must be siblings under `AddOns`.
FEATURES
Header
• Custom top bar with four configurable shortcut buttons
• Three configurable currency slots with live values
• Time indicator with a clock dial and LFG queue eye integration
• Phase markers around the clock
• Compact character micro-menu that replaces the default action bar
Footer
• Decorated minimap frame with left and right panel ornaments
• Zone name, clock, and calendar overlay row above the minimap
Chat
