ElvUI Orev Profiles is a styling plugin for ElvUI on Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Its purpose is straightforward: bring a set of Orev Entertainment and OrevUI2-inspired palette families into ElvUI and make them usable as profile-based visual styling options. Instead of replacing ElvUI or forking its core, this addon works as a plugin layer that applies theme-driven colors and gradients to the parts of ElvUI that make the most visible difference in everyday use.
This project focuses on visual identity, not gameplay changes. It gives ElvUI users a way to apply a more distinct color language across their UI while still keeping their existing ElvUI installation and profile workflow intact.
What this addon does
- Adds Orev-inspired theme presets to ElvUI
- Applies theme-based accent, backdrop, fade, and border colors
- Adds configurable gradient styling to supported ElvUI frames and panels
- Adds gradient styling to eligible statusbars
- Supports per-ElvUI-profile saved settings
- Allows custom five-stop color overrides for users who want manual control
- Includes slash commands for quick application and mode changes
Included theme families
The addon currently includes several preset groups:
Core presets
- Amethyst
- Ember
- Jade
- Abyss
- Sha
Class-inspired palettes
- Death Knight
- Druid
- Hunter
- Mage
- Monk
- Paladin

Gradient modes
Users can choose from multiple surface styles depending on how subtle or dramatic they want the UI to look:
- Solid
- Linear Horizontal
- Linear Vertical
- 3 Point Horizontal
- 3 Point Vertical
- 5 Point Horizontal
- 5 Point Vertical
- Radial
What gets styled
Depending on the options enabled in ElvUI, the addon can style:
- ElvUI value color
- ElvUI backdrop color
- ElvUI backdrop fade color
- ElvUI border color
- Unitframe border color
- Template frames and panels
- Eligible statusbars
The addon also includes size thresholds so very small frames or bars can be skipped instead of being forced into a gradient treatment that does not read well at small sizes.
Why it exists
This addon exists for users who want a more curated visual profile inside ElvUI without maintaining a full custom fork. It is intended to make palette-driven styling easier to reuse across ElvUI profiles while still letting users decide how much of the interface should actually be touched.
What this addon is not
To avoid confusion, this is not:
- a standalone UI replacement
- a full ElvUI layout pack
- a gameplay addon
- a destructive edit of ElvUI core files
The addon is primarily a visual styling and profile-layer plugin. It is meant to work with ElvUI, not replace it.
Installation
1. Make sure ElvUI is already installed.
2. Extract the addon folder into:
World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\
3. Reload the UI.
4. Open ElvUI options.
5. Go to Plugins -> Orev Profiles.
Basic usage
After installation, open the plugin options inside ElvUI and choose a preset theme and gradient mode. From there, you can decide whether the addon should affect general ElvUI colors, frame gradients, statusbar gradients, unitframe borders, or some combination of those.
If you want full manual control, you can enable custom stops and define your own five color points instead of using theme-generated stops.
Slash commands
/orevelv apply
/orevelv theme sha
/orevelv mode fiveh
/orevelv mode radial
Compatibility
This build is intended for ElvUI on Mists of Pandaria Classic and targets ElvUI v15.06. ElvUI is required.
Notes

- Panels and template frames support the full gradient mode list.
- Statusbars use stable horizontal or vertical gradient behavior based on the selected mode.
- Optional dependencies may be present for OrevEntertainment and OrevUI2, but ElvUI is the required dependency.
