Tips for configuring UI

[luxlunae]

I have ALL of my video feeds handled with three hotkeys, create feeds, show viewers, destroy all. When I swap a toon to lead it destroys everything and redraws the feeds on the master window, but I can remove everything if my feeds get in my way using ctrl alt shift R.


http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/3...-Feed-Tutorial is the way to go!

It's actually far better than creating feeds by hand and I wish there was a way to do this for repeater regions too, rather than just a hotkey to show a specific set of regions.

Thanks for the guide Luxlunae, and thanks to Alge for writing it. I stack all 5 screens but I create a DXnothing window on my 2nd Monitor and create four static video feeds on that dxnothing window, so I'm not going to use the majority of this guide. However, he told me I can create a video feed toggle which is what I need for my healers grid! so I'm going to try that now. Thanks for the help everyone.

Damn that thing is a bit out of date. Glad you were able to follow it.

Firstly, make your primary rotations inside the WoW client. This way any future mishaps won't lose your all important rotations!

I totally disagree with that statement. I have every single macro stored in ISBoxer and in my years of experience that's by far the best way to go. Make a backup of your ISBoxer config (email it to your self or something) and you don't have to worry about losing your important rotations. I can't imagine trying to build the 100's (possibly 1000+) macros I use between all my teams in the WoW client.

I have to agree 100% with what Owltoid has posted here. It makes it much easier to configure macros and also add new toons.

Well, I'm done with my UI and its a big improvement over what I had. I'm still tweaking macros to get my DPS where I want it, but did a few heroics and 5 boxed LFR with no problems! Thanks for your tips everybody.

i configured my macros in game-I just prefer it that way, it might take longer but it feels better to me personally. I created toggles that destroy my video fx windows then recreates them when I hit the button again, thanks to lux and Alge for that one--it is awesome and very helpful. Nothing fancy on my UI, but it gets the job done nicely and is way less clunky than what I had before.

For all you noobies out there like me, don't be afraid to revamp! I learned a lot and it was way quicker this time than the first time. Only like... 10 hours or so

I think the only bonus of in game macro is that you can change them on the fly while playing, whereas (correct me if I am wrong here) with the macros in ISBoxer if you change a macro you have to close your game and relaunch all the clients.

You would export to Inner Space and /reload your UI for any changes to take effect.

So in the wow client reload UI ? Or ISBoxer Reload UI ?

[Chivalrous]

Import new macros to innerspace just like you would after changing anything, then in game type /reload.
