[00:00] Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. 

[00:05] UI as it is right now. I have post a lot of 

[00:11] of guide videos, and people have been asking me 

[00:16] it an add-on? What's going on? Let me show you. 

[00:22] going to click edit mode. And here we're going 

[00:27] you have to pick between do you want to use 

[00:33] modern preset basically has like, you know, the 

[00:38] Uh some reason I don't really like this. Um so 

[00:44] pass gets up here. Um I guess it's because I want 

[00:50] Then after you choose classic preset, you say 

[00:54] know in my case I'm going to call Dalin 3.0. Now 

[01:01] all the way down so that the grid boxes are very 

[01:07] I like to do is I like to have like every single 

[01:13] stuff here. Uh I like to have it enabled 

[01:18] Um, so then we're going to move it here. By 

[01:22] which is actually making me allowed to move this. 

[01:27] move this one here, but with that on Bless Move, 

[01:32] is I click on my action bar. Number one, we say 

[01:38] then what we're going to do is we're going to say 

[01:42] want to see that when I don't have a spell. Then 

[01:48] it looks horrible. But what I did was I actually 

[01:57] Then you then you could technically stop here and 

[02:03] and then everything else in the small bottom up 

[02:09] bit bigger than like you know utilities up here. 

[02:14] to eight and then basically just increased the 

[02:21] save. And now you can see I have my bar here. 

[02:29] and my other like cooldowns which I don't find 

[02:35] essentially how I made my UI. I also of course 

[02:41] this one here essential cooldowns, tracked buffs, 

[02:48] course things also you can change around. 

[02:53] uh take essential cooldowns and basically say 

[02:58] like linear thing. Then I like to like place it 

[03:05] so that I have my track buffs here, my track 

[03:11] a track buff here and utility cooldowns here for 

[03:16] like this. And then of course I can say um in 

[03:25] don't want to see all my cooldowns when I'm not 

[03:30] things here over here would show. If you want to 

[03:35] gameplay enhancement. You need to enable the thing 

[03:39] advanced cooldown settings. And then in here you 

[03:44] what do you want to track like buffs on you and 

[03:49] so on. But again that is that is basically it that 

[03:55] god like I would have been doing like a 20-minute 

[04:00] it it was that simple. The first bar down here, 

[04:07] eight icons. And you know, yeah, that that's 

[04:13] this one here, always show button because I don't 

[04:18] do that on also my bars in the right uh side over 

[04:23] you have an empty spot, it's actually empty. So 

[04:28] my UI and I just wanted to make this video because 

[04:34] make your UI. So now I have made a video showing 

[04:41] and um you know taught you how we can actually 

[04:47] look quite decent. I I like this. I think it's 

[04:55] Thanks for watching. Have a great day and let me 

[04:59] I also if you don't want to do this yourself, 

[05:04] this UI here on my Discord. On my Discord server, 

[05:10] there is a room for every single spec. I have made 

[05:15] in there, there is a UI code for all the different 

[05:20] thanks for watching. Have a great day and
