I have to say, i have done a lot of research, watched countless videos, read various articles on the website about how to properly set-up Elv UI and NOT ONE video has helped me as much as this video has, thank you so very much, defo got a sub from me today
Where the F#$@% do I even find it to download it to begin with? CurseForge only brings up addons to it that require it to run, but doesn't bring the actual thing...
wow! first 30 seconds you answered the ONLY two questions I had about the interface addon! aboslutely fantastic! (how to move UI and how to get rid of the bottom transparent bar)
I downloaded elvui last night & spent a couple hours trying to figure out what was where, where to look etc & got pretty frustrated as i've been using the old school original wow interface since i started 15 years ago lol. this video was soooooooooooo helpful. Thank you for saving my sanity :) The only thing i cant figure out from this is how to make it so the /ec interface is opaque instead of the current translucent style. I like the look of yours a lot better, easier on the ol' eyes :) Thanks again! edit: subbed! & you're a fellow Canadian!? sweet :D
I'm very glad to hear that I could help and thank you so much for the sub! :) ElvUI is definitely very daunting at first and it takes a while to figure out all the ins and outs of the addon. To change the opacity and/or colour of the interface, you can go to General -> Media and at the bottom in the Colors section, click on the box next to "Backdrop Faded Color". This will allow you to change the transparency of the menu with the sliding bar that appears in the pop up color wheel as well as change the color of the interface if you would like to do so. I hope this helps! Also I am a fellow Canadian from west coast BC! :D
@@Jakinto omg yes it's a huge help, THANK YOU! what a huge difference! not so straining on the eyes. yay! lol this is great! I'm a BC'er too :) grew up on the island, suffered in the fraser valley for a while & now in the okanagan :)
@@IglooGirl1 Any time! Gotta save those eyes haha xD That's awesome that you're from BC as well! I've alternated living on the island and in Vancouver throughout the years but I'm currently residing on the island. I've only been to the okanagan (mostly Kelowna) a few times but I really like it there! :)
Keep up the great videos bro. You'll be in the thousands of subscribers in no time. Can't wait to see more of your blood dk analysis vids too in mythic. So helpful.
@@Presence_o_Mind Yeah I noticed the lack of support for the blood dk as well which I found odd. I definitely want to make videos on every aspect of the spec to get all of that information out there! Might take a bit though as there is a lot to cover haha
I really appreciate you making this video. I am new to WoW and thought this UI addon would be nice to have but several other videos that I checked out about this addon did not go into much detail. This video went over all of the settings and tabs that I had questions about and it really helped me to fine tune my UI. Thank you so much and keep up the great work 👍👍
Thank you for this guide. Clear on point and the necessary features covered to get started. I might give it a try after I saw your video. Never liked the look of it, but found out about the customization of frames and such and with the many faults my "old" add-ons have, I guess it's time to switch.
@25:42 When you are explaining how to adjust unit frames > Raid Frames. Just hit the tab that says display Frames, and then it would of gave you 20 raid frames you could of adjusted for your demonstration.
Great tutorial! but I would like to see how you set up your UI. There's some minor things I struggle to find myself and I'd like to see how you put up yours :) thank you again for a great video!
thanks for the tutorial, quick question here, i want to be able to have the bar with character selction, guild, talent, pvp at a clic and you elvui dont show this nice and usefull bar> as i have already bind all the key that was opening those tabs for action keys
thank you so much for this. hope you make a video for newbie. beginner how to play this wow or whats addons for newbie. thank you so much youve got a new subscriber. thanks
thank you for taking the time and uploading the tutorial. It helped a lot for someone like me who haven't played WoW in like 15 years. BTW can you explain how I can setup my quest log and the Map and quest log the way you have it. Edit : NVM I realized it's for legacy wow.
doesn't let me import says it's corrupted... hmm would love an updated version of this video cause theres things I'm still trying to figure out and it's now 2022, great video though!
is this the addon that makes people be able to put their moves in the chat with blue letters and shows what their move does without going to your spells manually and shift clicking it in the chat?
Great and helpful, but I'm blessed with poor eyesight and have to have my UI large enough to see buttons, but can't seem to make the text smaller because it is HUGE and cuts off due to font size. Not in the chat box, in windows like trade skills and vendors. Where would I find this setting?
Great video Ive referred back to it several times but im having a big issue, I cant figure out how to see buffs and debuffs on party frames. Its enabled in unit frames>party but shows nothing?
The guide is amazing man, but how did you do your quest log? Mine looks absolutely terrible and I feel like I've tried everything. I downloaded a Quest Log replacer but it's buggy and the width is way too wide and non adjustable
sir loved the video but im only having a problem of getting rid of the picture of my char in the top left to move like i have health bar and my name next to action bars but cant move this other one
Thanks for this video, the only thing that i just still cant figure out is how to remove the right chat window. I dont have the "close window" option there, so i dont know what to do about it.
I'm not seeing Debuff COLORS on my Party Frames or Raid Frames -- how do you ensure you can see Debuff Colors as a overlay on Party and Raid Frames and only show Dispellable Debuffs? :)
my chat wont show up and idk why. Tried reinstalling, redownloading and looking into settings. Nothing has worked, i have the chat box but anything that anyone says or posts just doesnt come up. i can /say and see my chat bubble come up but nothing in the chat box. Yes /s and /raid, /party is all enabled. Any suggestions? Oh, and this problem is only on one character. The rest are fine and everything is working.
This is a fantastic tutorial great job! Question how did you get your good you show up like? Also can you get your bags to pop up if you click that gold icon?
Thank you!! I don't understand your first question unfortunately but to get your bags to pop up, you click the bag icon that is between the gold coins icon and the brush icon within your bags.
Hey, thanks for the guide, it helped alot the only thing I may need a little extra hand with is the name plates for enemies as they seem to not show up regardless of what I do! Are you able to help at all?
Clicking V toggles Enemy Nameplates on and off; Control V Toggles All Nameplates on and off, and then I believe as long as you don't have a Keybind for Shift V like I do it toggles your friendly nameplates on and off. Hope this helps
how do I change the way questbox text looks? I have it very small and weird looking atm, and would like that to change how do I do this? I know im asking very specific questions lol, dont worry u cowered everything in the video but this one is just probably too specific.
when i try to download, in the addon menu it said dependency missing. i downloaded it through the curse client, and it is the wow addons folder. please help. The ui doesnt even show up when i load the addon in game.
Great content mate i am new to elvui and this really helped but do you know If i go into stealth or change stances on warrior how do i get it so my action bar changes relevant to stealth/stance
2 Questions... 1) How do i change my vehicle ui bar to a different bar? e.g from bar 1 to bar 3 2) When i do mind control as a priest, im having trouble dismissing the MC as the add icon is not displayed below my unitframe. im using for 3.3.5 pvt server wotlk version Elvui
I watched the video and Thank You for making it.. This UI is very daunting when you first look at it.. That being said , I did not see how to switch Icons like the spell Icons to a different action Bar . I want to move them around and I have not found the unlock for them.. Maybe I missed it in the Video..
Yeah ElvUI is definitely daunting when first getting into it and takes a while to know the ins and outs of it. If you hold Shift while dragging the ability on your action bars, you should be able to move the ability even though the bar is locked. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thank you! Having the whisper window go into a different tab than General chat is a Blizzard Default UI option. If you go to the main Blizzard menu and select Interface -> Social and find the "New Whispers" drop down menu, you can change this to "New Tab" so that each whisper you receive from a new person goes into a different tab in your chat. I hope this helps!
Great explanation and easy to follow. I have a quick question, those text frames in combat that show the ability cooldowns on the side are hella annoying, how can you adjust or modify those ones? Hopefully, I explained myself well enough
@@Jakinto never mind I figured it out. I imported your profile and adjusted it to my liking a bit more and now it's awesome. I really feel like you need an engineering degree to navigate elvui... 😃 Anyways thank you! And have a great year 2021,fingers crossed

A true beginner's guide for Elvui. It is well-organized and presented.Thanks for this helpful video. 👍👍👍
Much appreciated. UI interface has changed a small bit from this post, but you def got me on track. Thanks for the time and work.
Is that why he has more options in settings? I was thinking I missed some addons
28:50 broke my heart , but you helped me alote
Just came back, used ElvUI before and because of you I will be using it again, Thank you
Welcome back! I'm glad to hear it :)
I usually don't leave comment but this was an extremely good tutorial so you deserved it buddy
Thank you I really appreciate it! Glad I could help :D
Thank you for a very in depth and clear explanation of the elvUI tool 😊

Haha yeah ElvUI is quite daunting at first. Thanks for watching and good luck with your ElvUI set up!
This was the best "learn how to" video I ever seen for WOW. One thing I still need to ask is how to get the options for the chat like Emotion..
Exactly what I was after, well done mate. A link to this video should be on the creators webpage.
Great in-depth explanation of all the ElvUI options. Thank you!
Thank you so much! :)
