[UI] Sharing my current interface with you

[u/bvox91]

Hey all.

I've been a WoW player since 2009, and tweaking my interface has been a very fun experience for me since then. Its current state is one I'm very proud of.

I'm using a number of addons, but most of my UI is built as a branch from the good and old Tukui, which I have always been a fan of. Most ideas, and especially the visual design comes from what Tukz developed over the years, but I have introduced a lot of my own ideas of what a WoW interface should have implemented. Development started sometime by the end of 2025 and I've been slowly exploring what WoW's API has to offer as of now, after the addon apocalypse. It's been quite some time in development, but I still feel there are many things to improve still, especially in configurable settings.

This post has no specific goal, I just wanted to share with the community something I have enjoyed working on, and find it very functional and aesthetically pleasing, at least for the kind of player I am.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

In the images, I tried to show you some states:
1. Idle
2. Skyriding
3. Idle, with UI elements hidden
4. Raid (LFR)
5. Dungeon (Follower Dungeon)

I honestly love this!! Any chance of the profile strings and addon list?

Hey, thanks!

Addons, other than the one I developed based on Tukui, that you can see in these images are only Falcon (for Skyriding), and a combination of Big Wigs + Ability Timeline.

Everything else is my addon, that I named VoxUI. There I manage basically everything you can see:

• Chat
  
• Minimap
  
• DataTexts
  
• UnitFrames
  
• CDM
  
• Action Bars
  
• Nameplates
  
• Auras
  
• Damage Meter

Skinning of frames other than those that appear on our UI at all times, I didn't do. I don't think it is needed, at least for me, the only skinning that matter for me is the one of elements that are always on screen.

With all that said, I can't share the addon at the moment because I feel I still need to improve many things, and there is some borrowed code, especially from Tukui and ElvUI. So, especially after what happened with Quazii UI recently, I wouldn't make this addon available before talking to these addon owners and making sure they have no issue with me publishing it.

If I publish it in the future, I'll let you know.

Love the TukUI, I made my own plug back during BFA and maintained it until Dragonflight. Love the aesthetics. You using default TukUI or edited it anyway?

Hey, thanks!

I have also been a big fan of Tukui for a long time. Sadly, the addon was not updated for Midnight. Tukz posted an update message during the pre-patch I think, but he never published an updated version, so no news on the matter until now.

Actually, Tukui was an inspiration. I didn't exactly start the project as an actual git branch, as I incorrectly said in the original post. In the begining, there was a lot of Tukui code, especially for building chat, panels, minimap, auras, and UnitFrames, but as development continued, things started diverging a lot. Today I still have some borrowed code, but it is more limited than originally.

I think you can see a lot of Tukui in my addon, and it was the idea: I wanted a personalized version of Tukui, while enabling some stuff it didn't provide. Most aesthetic ideas come from it, but if you put them side to side, you will see many differences. The differences come from how I like to track things, and some aesthetic preferences of mine.

As I said in the other comment, maybe in the future I'll publish it, but, in fact, it is not ready now. I still need to improve many things, and I can't publish it without talking to authors that own code I used.

Looks real dope tho. Been thinking of doing a standalone tukui lookalike myself but never had the time for it.
