ElvUI plugin for WoW

A complete, polished look for ElvUI.
Plus everything it doesn't ship.

MerathilisUI gives your interface a clean, transparent design with class-colored gradients and adds modules that go far beyond ElvUI. Everything is modular: turn off what you don't need, keep the rest.

More than a skin

A finished interface, ready in minutes.

One-click complete UI

The installer sets up ElvUI, chat, action bars, data texts, nameplates, unit frames and profiles for popular addons in a few steps.

Consistent design everywhere

Blizzard windows, ElvUI and supported addons get the same shadows, gradients and flat widgets - even the ElvUI options window.

Features ElvUI doesn't have

Categorized bags, a full Armory, click-casting, a chat sidebar, Mythic+ info on hover, a buff reminder and much more.

Actively maintained

Regular updates for the current patch, and bugs reported on Discord get fixed.

Feature highlights

A few of the modules that go beyond ElvUI. Each one can be turned on or off on its own in the options.

AddOnManager

The right addons for every character and instance

AddOns
AddOn Manager: the addon list sorted into categories with switches, versions and CPU usage, next to the Addon Profiles panel with Find Faulty Addon, Save Current As and Import

AddOn ManagerNew

Blizzard's addon list with profiles: save which addons are on, load them with one click or switch on their own per instance type, and share them as a code. Locked addons stay on whatever you do, turning an addon on also turns on what it needs, and a filter and wider search find any addon by folder, author or notes. Find Faulty Addon turns off half your addons per reload until the culprit is found.

LoadoutManager

The right gear and talents for every key and raid

Combat
Loadout Manager options: enable card, the DONT MOVE warning preview, general toggles, current context and the selected loadout pickers

Loadout ManagerNew

Equips your Equipment Manager gear set and loads your saved talent loadout on its own when you enter content. Assign them per instance, per difficulty or per content type (Dungeon, Mythic+, Raid, Timewalking, Delve, Arena, Battleground, Open World), for all specs or a single spec. Swaps due in combat wait until it ends, and a warning tells you not to move while talents change.

UnitPortraits

Your target, face to face

Unit Frames
Player and target frames with their portraits: a pink class ring on the player, a green ring with a red classification dragon on the target NPC

PortraitsNew

A portrait next to your unit frames, cut to a drop, circle or square and framed by a ring in the class or reaction color, or in the gradient colors of the Gradient theme. While the unit casts, the spell icon takes its place. Boss, elite and rare NPCs get the dragon of the Blizzard target frame, a badge or a ring in their classification color. Player and target are on by default, focus, pet, party, boss and arena can be added.

New Features

  • Group FinderNew option Group Notes (on by default). The note of a group now shows in its row in the Premade Groups list, after the play style. Blizzard only shows it in the tooltip.
  • SkinsNew skin for QIM (Quick Instant Messenger). It builds on QIM's Flat appearance, so pick Flat in QIM's options under Appearance. Windows, menus, buttons and input boxes then use the MerathilisUI look, and QIM's color theme no longer matters. The message bubbles keep the colors you set in QIM.
  • Minimap ButtonsNew option Other Characters' Hearthstones (off by default). The tooltip of the hearthstone button in the M+ Portals flyout lists your other characters, where each one is bound and when its hearthstone is ready again. A character shows up once it was logged in with the option on.

Improvements

  • InstallerThe nameplate layout now shows friendly players as a name only, without the health bar, and the name is class colored.
  • InstallerThe count on nameplate quest icons now sits as a small badge in the bottom right corner of the icon. Before, it was next to the icon and covered the next quest icon when a unit belonged to more than one quest.
  • Quick GridOn WoW Forever a custom slot can keep a lower spell rank. Drag that rank from the spellbook into the slot, and the slot shows its rank in the name. Other spell slots still cast the highest rank you know.

Bugfixes

  • InstallerThe combat text font and the time and count fonts of buffs and debuffs now really use GothamNarrow-Black. Before, they used a font name that does not exist and fell back to ElvUI's default font.Tooltips on cards, buttons and switches no longer show up behind the installer window.The nameplate layout now sets Expressway on every nameplate font (name, level, power text, castbar, quest icon, auras). Some of them used a font name that does not exist and fell back to ElvUI's default font.
