Didn't really know where to post this but I guess here will do.
Well, I'm a total UI virgin / NewB. I have absolutely <span style="color:red;font-size:large;">N O</span> idea on UIs, so I'm asking for some advice. Please be patient - and tolerant - with my dumbass questions :P
This is a <a href="http://www.ctv.es/USERS/dsc/Araxxui.jpg" target="top">LINK</a> to my current UI setup (actually it is my Vendor-mule's setup but mine is practically identical) and I'm looking for something with a similar layout (if not identical) or that I can move around. I can move the boxes around yes?? (dumb question #1 :p )
What if I don't like one of the items and I want to change it? How would I go about changing it?
I know about the /loadui command so I think I know how to load a UI.
Well, I suddenly ran out of dumb questions (they must be around here someplace) so please if anyone has any good UI advice (I've been looking at a lot but none really convince me) I'm just looking for something functional and not necessarily flashy.
Thx in advance.

Can't really help ya.

Mine is left untouched. Don't want to have to dink with it every time they patch it.

It is 100% transparent, which I like anyways.

Would like percent meters on bars, and just that. But have not the inclination to work the xml myself.

Ya know, I've spent two days browsing all the UIs on there and I'm a bit confused and not really seen anything I like. I dunno, maybe I'll have to spend 6 months learning the XML way to change them and try to make my own. I remember when I used to be good at graphics and even did 3d animations and images for a Star Wars fan organisation. Alas! how I miss my youth :p

In any case if anyone has any good suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

Thx.

Here is a SS that I dug up of my UI. I've since updated the Control panel thing with all the Actions, Options, and stuff on it. I've also updated the spell icons, spell bar, buff icons, and I've added a map window. If you decide that you like this UI, send me a Private Message and I'll send you a .zip of it and the UI_charname_servername stuff.

P.S. Sorry for the image quality, I had to convert it to a .gif file so that I could transfer it to my webhost.

P.S.S. This is basically Growth3's UI. I want to give him most of the credit, all I did was make some modifications and add some stuff.
