## Summary

The video demonstrates how to create a clean, functional World of Warcraft user interface using the standard Blizzard Edit Mode, with minimal addon assistance. The creator walks through selecting a preset, customizing action bars, and managing cooldowns and buffs for a streamlined look.

### Key Points

- **Choosing Classic Preset** [0:33] — The creator prefers the Classic preset over Modern because it moves health bars to the top, freeing up screen center.
- **Edit Mode Grid Settings** [0:50] — Enable grid with smallest box size, snap to elements, and advanced options for precise placement.
- **Using Bless Move Addon** [1:18] — The addon 'Bless Move' allows moving normally locked UI elements.
- **Action Bar Customization** [1:32] — Hide bar art and disable 'Always Show Buttons' to remove empty slots.
- **Scale and Icon Count** [1:42] — Main bar: 200 scale, 6 icons. Secondary bar: 150 scale, 8 icons.
- **Cooldown and Buff Management** [2:53] — Cooldowns and buffs can be arranged vertically and set to show only in combat.
- **Export Code Availability** [5:04] — Export codes for various specs are available on the creator's Discord server.

## Transcript

Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. 
So today we're going to talk about how I made my  
UI as it is right now. I have post a lot of 
pictures on social media recently, made a lot  
of guide videos, and people have been asking me 
how are you making your UI look like this? Is  
it an add-on? What's going on? Let me show you. 
First of all, we're going to press escape. We're  
going to click edit mode. And here we're going 
to make a new one, new layout. But first of all,  
you have to pick between do you want to use 
the modern preset or the classic preset. The  
modern preset basically has like, you know, the 
uniframes down here. I'm not a really fan of it.  
Uh some reason I don't really like this. Um so 
I prefer the classic preset where the the health  
pass gets up here. Um I guess it's because I want 
to have like more open in my game in the middle.  
Then after you choose classic preset, you say 
new layout and we're going to call it I don't  
know in my case I'm going to call Dalin 3.0. Now 
um I would recommend you put on show grid. Put it  
all the way down so that the grid boxes are very 
small. Snap to elements and advanced options. What  
I like to do is I like to have like every single 
thing here enabled. So you can see like all this  
stuff here. Uh I like to have it enabled 
so I can actually see what I am doing here.  
Um, so then we're going to move it here. By 
the way, I have an add-on called Bless Move,  
which is actually making me allowed to move this. 
I don't think without the add-on, you can actually  
move this one here, but with that on Bless Move, 
you can move it. Um, there we go. What I did first  
is I click on my action bar. Number one, we say 
hide bar art. So, this one here, hide bar. And  
then what we're going to do is we're going to say 
always show buttons. No, thank you, cuz I don't  
want to see that when I don't have a spell. Then 
I increased the size to 200. And now you can see  
it looks horrible. But what I did was I actually 
changed it so that I only have six buttons. Smart.  
Then you then you could technically stop here and 
just have your rotation here in the big buttons  
and then everything else in the small bottom up 
up here. But I also like when my cooldowns is a  
bit bigger than like you know utilities up here. 
So what I did here was that I turned down my icons  
to eight and then basically just increased the 
size until it matched like this. Then you click  
save. And now you can see I have my bar here. 
I have my uh like cooldowns and crop control  
and my other like cooldowns which I don't find 
that important for example. So that is basically  
essentially how I made my UI. I also of course 
have we also of course also have stuff like uh  
this one here essential cooldowns, tracked buffs, 
utility cooldowns and tracked bars. That is of  
course things also you can change around. 
For example, what I like to do is I like to  
uh take essential cooldowns and basically say 
that it needs to be vertical so it becomes this  
like linear thing. Then I like to like place it 
kind of like here. take my track bars next to it  
so that I have my track buffs here, my track 
cooldowns here, and then we could also to use  
a track buff here and utility cooldowns here for 
example. Something like that. So now it will look  
like this. And then of course I can say um in 
combat in combat in combat and in combat cuz I  
don't want to see all my cooldowns when I'm not 
in combat. So now when I'm in combat all these  
things here over here would show. If you want to 
change those things, you have to go into option  
gameplay enhancement. You need to enable the thing 
here called cooldown manager and then you can say  
advanced cooldown settings. And then in here you 
can choose what cooldowns you want to track like  
what do you want to track like buffs on you and 
what cooldowns do you want to track. So you know  
so on. But again that is that is basically it that 
that is like you probably thought like that I I my  
god like I would have been doing like a 20-minute 
guide on how I made my UI look like like this. No,  
it it was that simple. The first bar down here, 
I said 200 scale, six icons. Next one, 150 scale,  
eight icons. And you know, yeah, that that's 
basically it. I also like to always remove  
this one here, always show button because I don't 
want it to show like empty buttons. So, I always  
do that on also my bars in the right uh side over 
here. And then save because then you can see when  
you have an empty spot, it's actually empty. So 
that's that's that's basically how I have made  
my UI and I just wanted to make this video because 
I have seen a lot of people asking me how did you  
make your UI. So now I have made a video showing 
you how I made my UI. So I hope this was helpful  
and um you know taught you how we can actually 
manipulate the standard Blizzard UI to actually  
look quite decent. I I like this. I think it's 
pretty cool this UI overall. So yeah. All right.  
Thanks for watching. Have a great day and let me 
know in the comments is this if this was helpful.  
I also if you don't want to do this yourself, 
you can also get the export code for this UI,  
this UI here on my Discord. On my Discord server, 
if you look at the description of the video,  
there is a room for every single spec. I have made 
a single button guide for every single spec. And  
in there, there is a UI code for all the different 
specs, so you can use that as well. So yeah,  
thanks for watching. Have a great day and 
I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
