If you’re tired of your UI and have the urge to nuke everything and start fresh, take a look at Tukui. It’s super minimalistic. There aren’t a whole lot of action bars visible. You have enough just for what you need. I can’t see any blurry or stretched textures anywhere. There’s a nice grid overlay for any healers (actually, I can’t tell if it was added after the fact or a side customization). The placement of frames is off to the side (which isn’t for me). For buff tracking, it’s located in the same area in the top right of the screen next to your map. Shows the times left on both buffs and debuffs. Nothing changed there.
Keep in mind though, this UI is meant to replace your stock UI that came with the game. Your frame, your target’s frame, and your target target’s frame is centered right at the bottom where it’ll do the most good instead of off in a corner somewhere.
Anyway, an excellent looking UI for a DPS and tanking class. As a raid leading healer myself, I’d probably butcher the UI with extra addons that I’d need unfortunately.
Edit: FPS brought it up in the comments below but I wanted to echo it here as well. Read the FAQ on the forums. In order to modify the UI, you’ll need a basic text editor (a la Notepad++ not Notepad). The screenshots are just a sampling of what can be done, but you can add more bars as desired or change other settings.
Found a cool addon? Want to share a UI tip? In the mood to contribute a guest post? Have some ideas for future posts? Feel free to 
WTB bigger screenshot :)
Ooh a link in the first sentence. WTB better reading comprehension. :)
It’s in pink too!

Make sure to read the FAQ on their website forum. To edit the ui, you need to use a basic text editor. Notepad++ works very well.
Its easy to configure the UI, and move unit frames around where you want. ( /uf) and also change keybindings. ( /hb)
You can add more bars for binding, change the status displays, etc…
(If you don’t like the unit frames, you can turn those off, and run your own personal setup while still utilizing the rest of the UI.)
Tukz’ is the only UI that has made me consider using anything other than my own UI :-P
Taeo´s last blog ..Led on "Led ++"
This [ http://s10.directupload.net/file/d/2131/4vgnlldz_jpg.htm ] is my personal version of Tukz UI. As u can see, I’m acting as a healer and it works very well for me. Right above the target’s target frame I’ve placed Quartz (u can see the GCD bar). Recount is disabled in combat, it’s placed like the Omen frame, just on the right side of the screen
I’ve been using this since last week when I saw it on wow.com’s ui spotlight.
I have been using the normal notepad, it’s agonizingly like reading in only the dewey decimal system but doable.
The ui itself is AMAZING. I’ve been a perpetual user of the normal pitbull, bt4, prat, recount, and all the other bells and whistles we attribute to a normal customized ui along with some raid leading things.
With this ui I’ve added bigbrother which is minimalistly hidden most of the time. Skada which fits with the skin well. Skinner just for some of the windows. And DxE which is much cleaner than dbm.
My ui is still VERY clean with this ui. Even with customizing it in the notepad, it hasn’t been overly obtuse(if you can read walls of text). I’m sure with notepad++ it will take the burden off me completely.
Thank you for spotlighting this Matticus, been meaning to comment both on wow.com and here that I really appreciate the wow journalism you do.

I made that same mistake and used Notepad to look at the config.lua. Use Wordpad if on a PC, it makes it look how it should, simple and straightforward.
You can get Tukui style skins for some addons so it all fits in nicely – ones I know about are Skada, Omen, Sexycooldowns, Recount and Qbar. Check the skinning forum on the Tukui site. I’d encourage you to see what the basic Tukui can do – some of the add ons I swore by I don’t need any more. I”ve gon from about 100 to 18. A lot of the additonals I have downloaded are mostly in the background anyway, so they don’t show unles syou have a window open for a specific purpose – Arkinventory and Auctionlite for example.
Tweaking the config.lua is easy enough – and this is the first time I have done anything like this. The FAQ on the forums gives your the basic tweaks, and the forum search function is really good. I back up the config.lua before I doi anything too adventurous though.
does anyone know how to download tukui on a mac?? please i realy want it and cant seem to download with mac!! help!
I’m looking to completely overhaul my UI, but I’m a healer (Disc priest)–you mention that this UI would need a lot of overhaul (agreed, especially on grid placement and add-on selection), but is there a better UI to look into for my purposes? Or would it be best to download this one and start molding it into what I need? Thanks!
There are quite a few different edits of the basic Tukui UI – if you check out the Tukui Forum (http://www.tukui.org/), especially the edits page, you might find something that suits you. I’m not a healer so I’m not too sure though
I really like this UI, so I downloaded and installed it. It looked great. Problem is, I can’t figure out how to set anything up! I needed another bar for spells, et cetera. Heck, I couldn’t even figure out how to open my bags! Needless to say, I un-installed it. Pity though. I do like the clean, minimal look.
Not a bad UI; it looks clean and efficient. I prefer my own, but I’m a tad obsessive about the UIs I use.
Very remniscent of CaithUI, however, almost suspiciously so. The author does credit Caith as an inspiration, but…
How to do something like this?
