Anniversary Boosted UI

Anniversary Boosted UI

• A clean, modern interface for The Burning Crusade Anniversary, built from scratch and simple to set up.
• Anniversary Boosted UI gives you a polished, cohesive interface without the long configuration sessions. It is an original addon written specifically for the Burning Crusade Anniversary client, not a reskin or a fork.
• A guided setup wizard walks you through each feature the first time you log in, so you can turn on exactly what you want and skip the rest. Everything is changeable afterwards from a single options panel.
• This addon targets The Burning Crusade Anniversary. It uses the current engine APIs, so frames, menus, and the minimap all behave correctly on this client rather than relying on older code that no longer works.

Core features

• Unit Frames and Portraits — Custom player, target, focus, target-of-target and pet frames with class-colored health, power bars and cast bars. Choose your portrait style, including a Full 3D Portrait where the health bar itself becomes a live animated model, with a per-unit camera you can frame to taste.
• Action Bar Styling — A flat, modern re-skin of Blizzard's action bars with optional range and resource coloring, numeric cooldown text, custom layout and combat or mouseover fade.
• Square Minimap — A clean square minimap that matches the modern look.
• Info Bar — A movable bar of clickable panels: bags, durability, location, gold, FPS and latency, plus quick menu buttons for character, spellbook, talents, quests, guild, world map and help that work in combat. Shift-click or drag a bag to swap it.
• Casting Bar — A modern player cast bar with a spell icon and a red latency safe-zone.
• Character Stats - A clean side panel on your character pane with the extended stats Blizzard leaves out.
• Range Finder — An on-screen readout of the distance to your target. Needs WeakAuras or MaxDps installed for the range data.
• Threat Meter — An Omen-style live threat list for your current target.

Optional features

• Chat Styling — Cleaner chat with clickable web links and an optional heavier font.
• Combat Text — Your own floating damage and healing numbers, with per-type fonts and colors and several animation styles, including Fountain, Scroll, Fan, Rain and Pop, plus an extra punch on critical hits.
• Totem Timer — A shaman-only bar of active totems with countdown timers.

Profiles and setup

• Per-character profiles so each of your characters keeps its own layout.
• Create, copy and switch profiles at any time.
• A first-run setup wizard that walks through every feature one step at a time, ending with naming and saving your profile.

Getting started

• Type /abui to open the options panel.
• Type /abui setup to run the welcome wizard again at any time.
• For the cleanest result, disable other full-UI or minimap addons such as ElvUI, SexyMap, etc since they compete for the same frames.

A note on originality
This addon is an original, from-scratch project. All of the Lua here is written specifically for the Anniversary client.
