OakUI: The EllesmereUI Edition

Welcome to the next evolution of OakUI.

The OakUI Installer has been completely re-engineered from the ground up, moving away from legacy frameworks to natively adopt EllesmereUI as its core backbone. This shift delivers an ultra-sleek, lightweight, and high-performance 1-click installation experience perfectly tuned for competitive gameplay on 1440p displays.

Whether you are pushing high Mythic+ keys, raiding, or leveling, this suite injects pixel-perfect profiles directly into the best addons in the game, dynamically adapting to your class, spec, and role.

🚀 Key Features

EllesmereUI Core Integration: Complete architectural shift to EllesmereUI for a modern, minimalist, and deeply optimized game interface.
Ellesmere Tweaks Suite: A powerhouse menu of custom automation, visibility toggles, and layout overrides built to complement EllesmereUI:
- Hide Player/Pet: Toggles visibility options to completely hide the Player and Pet frames when you don't have a target selected.
- Smart Player: Automatically forces the Player/Pet unit frames to show (even if hidden) whenever you or your pet drop below full health.
- Show Player in Group: If your Player Unitframe is normally set to hidden, this will automatically force it to display the moment you join a party or raid.
- Hide CDM: Toggles Ellesmere's Cooldown Manager visibility options to seamlessly hide the CDM when you have no active target.
- Hide Action Bars: Hides the action bars completely unless you mouse over them. Mousing over any bar will cleanly show all of them at once.
- Hide Chat Background: Adjusts Ellesmere's chat frame settings to create a beautifully transparent background with a smooth fade.
- Chat Line Fade: Bypasses Ellesmere's entire-chat fading system to use Blizzard's native per-line fading instead.
In-Game Font Engine (No Folder Setup Required!): NEW in v2.0.0! You no longer have to log out of the game to drop folders into your directory. The custom font suite utilizes LibSharedMedia to let you instantly choose fonts, adjust sizes, toggle outlines, and apply global font rules across individual elements (like combat fonts, nameplates, objective text, and quest frames) right from the UI.
The OakUI Chat Engine: A robust, native chat filtering system built directly into the installer.
- Auto-Layout: Instantly size and stack your General and Loot chat windows perfectly with one click.
- Smart Filtering: Cleans up chat spam by simplifying Loot, XP, Reputation, Quests, and Achievement broadcasts. Inspired by Chat Cleaner by GoldpawForever.
- Loot Parser: A bulletproof custom parser that works seamlessly with your chat injections to show exactly who looted what, cleanly and colorfully.
Bulletproof Installer & Fallbacks: The suite automatically detects missing or disabled addons, provides instant download links, and can Force Enable disabled addons with one click. If an auto-install ever fails, use the Raw Imports tab to manually copy your strings!

🛠️ Installation Guide

We have made the installation process as foolproof as possible.

Install Dependencies: Download and enable OakUI along with the required addons listed above.
Open the Installer: Log into your character and type /oakui or /oak in the chat to open the Profile Manager.
Apply Edit Mode FIRST (Crucial): Click the Copy Layout button next to Blizzard Edit Mode. Open your WoW Edit Mode (Esc -> Edit Mode), click the Layout dropdown, select Import, and paste the code. Save it!

Configure Your Fonts: Head over to the Custom Fonts tab right inside the menu to pick your text styles, sizes, and elements. (Note: Combat text and floating name font changes will require a quick /reload or relog to finalize).
