Features

Explore ars-UI features: Blizzard UI reskin, viewport layout, raid frames, performance monitor, trackers, setup tools and utility modules.

Core features

Built to stay clean, fast and practical.

ars-UI focuses on refining the Blizzard interface instead of replacing it with a heavy full custom UI. Every module is meant to improve readability, preserve compatibility and keep the addon lightweight.

Blizzard UI Reskin

Dark, minimalist styling across windows, frames and interface elements while preserving Blizzard functionality and structure.

CPU

Performance Focus

ars-UI is designed to remain lightweight and includes ars-Monitor to track addon memory usage, CPU usage and percentage values directly in-game.

CVar Configuration System

ars_options_cvar.lua manages a large set of Blizzard interface and gameplay settings and keeps them consistent after reloads, resets or new character setup.

Auto Keybinding

Apply a ready-to-use keybinding profile directly from the ars menu for fast setup on fresh characters or after UI resets.

Macro Setup

Rogue and Warrior macro profiles are included and can be created directly from the ars menu for quick setup.

SkillingBar

Automatically fills action bars with the intended spells and macros in one click to complete the core setup faster.

Addon & Edit Mode Integration

Configure supported addons such as BigWigs, MRT, Skada and Plater, plus Edit Mode positioning, through the ars setup flow.

Viewport Layout

Dedicated space at the top and bottom of the screen keeps interface elements away from the center and improves gameplay visibility.

Chat System

Multi-tab chat structure with Main, Combat, Whisper, Loot and Guild tabs plus a quick-access sidebar for cleaner communication.

Window Reskin

Character, Quest, Spell Book, Talents, Collection, Dungeon Journal, Guild, Game Menu, Achievements, Group Finder and Bags are all visually unified.

Streamer & AFK Modes

Hide sensitive chat information with Streamer Mode and use the dedicated AFK presentation mode when idle or recording content.

Custom Font & Bubbles

A unified font setup and reskinned chat bubbles improve readability and maintain a consistent visual identity.
