About this addon
What it does
OakUI: The EllesmereUI Edition
Welcome to the next evolution of OakUI—a sleek, high-performance World of Warcraft UI installer built around EllesmereUI.
OakUI delivers polished, role-aware profiles and powerful quality-of-life enhancements for raiding, Mythic+, PvP, and everyday play. Choose your resolution, role, profile name, visibility options, borders, fonts, and optional addon integrations, then install everything with a few clicks.
Built for players who want a clean interface without spending hours positioning every frame by hand.
🚀 Key Features
- EllesmereUI Core Integration: OakUI is built alongside EllesmereUI to provide a lightweight, modern, and highly optimized interface experience.
- Role-Aware Profiles: Install dedicated Healer or Tank/DPS layouts with custom profile names and profile switching support.
- Quick Install and Guided Install: Choose your resolution, UI scale, role, visibility preferences, rounded borders, and optional addon profiles through a streamlined setup process.
- Resolution and UI Scale Support: Includes polished layouts for 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and ultrawide displays.
- Ellesmere Tweaks Suite: A powerful collection of visibility, layout, and gameplay-focused options:
- Hide Player/Pet: Hide Player and Pet frames when you do not have a target.
- Smart Player: Automatically show Player and Pet frames when you or your pet are injured.
- Show Player in Group: Automatically show your Player frame when joining a party or raid.
- Hide CDM: Hide EllesmereUI’s Cooldown Manager when you have no active target.
- Hide Action Bars: Hide action bars until you mouse over them. Mousing over any bar reveals them all.
- Hide Chat Background: Create a clean, transparent chat layout with a smooth background fade.
- Chat Line Fade: Use Blizzard’s native per-line chat fading instead of EllesmereUI’s full-window chat fade.
- Adjustable Chat Fade Delay: Tune how long each chat line remains visible before fading.
- Hide Error Messages: Suppress most unnecessary red UI errors while keeping important warnings visible.
- Dragon Riding Anchoring: Keep the Dragon Riding bar anchored to EllesmereUI’s Class Resource bar, with an opt-out toggle for manual customization.
- DBM Anchoring: Automatically position DBM bars to match the OakUI layout, with an opt-out toggle so users can customize DBM freely.
- wMarker Mouseover Fading: Fade the raid-marker, world-marker, and control-button bars when not in use, with gradual transitions, adjustable opacity, and shared hover behavior.
- Rounded Borders: Apply OakUI’s clean Round Thin border style across EllesmereUI frames, nameplates, cast bars, tracking bars, boss bars, damage meters, raid frames, absorb overlays, and Blizzi interrupt bars.
- Rounded borders can be enabled or disabled during installation or from the Ellesmere Tweaks menu.
- When disabled, OakUI falls back to EllesmereUI’s shadow border styling.
- Border preferences are preserved across profile imports and Healer/Tank-DPS profile switching.
- In-Game Font Engine: Choose fonts, sizes, outlines, and global font rules directly inside OakUI using LibSharedMedia—no folder swapping or logout required.
- OakUI Chat Engine:
- Auto-Layout: Instantly size, position, and stack the General, Loot, and Trade chat windows.
- Smart Filtering: Clean up Loot, XP, Reputation, Quest, Achievement, and other chat spam.
- Loot Parser: Display clear, colorful loot messages showing exactly who looted what.
- Chat Persistence: Preserve chat layout, docking, and placement through reloads and profile changes.
- Ellesmere CDM Refresh Command: Use
/oakcdmto repopulate the active EllesmereUI Cooldown Manager profile from Blizzard’s current Cooldown Manager settings. - Optional Addon Profile Injection: OakUI can install and synchronize profiles for supported optional addons when they are installed.
- Blizzard Edit Mode Support: OakUI includes polished Edit Mode layouts designed to work with the EllesmereUI profile system.
- Bulletproof Installer and Fallbacks: Missing or disabled addons are detected automatically, download links are provided, and disabled addons can be force-enabled. If automatic installation fails, use the Raw Imports tab to manually copy profile strings.
