Thanks for the suggestions… considering my nigglying worries about hitting 71, maybe I will try setting it up this Friday and see how I come out…

I see that Softi reccomended Spartan UI, and it’s what I use too, I’ve also seen Matticus post screenies with it as well. I’ve had no real issues with it and it keeps everything tucked into the bottom of the screen. I added Fubar, IceHUD and Scrolling Combat Text to it, along with Quest Helper, Healbot, Recount, Omen, and decursive. All in all its not too bad. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7221-SpartanUI.html

Hope you love it.

I started to use Spartan UI again – keeps everything down the bottom of your screen and so far it has enough bars for me to have everything to hand. http://www.spartanui.com is the website I think!
I use that and a lot of other addons like Cartographer, Omen, Questhelper, Auctioneer advanced, DBM, outfitter and SO many more, and it doesn’t cause any problems that I’ve come across so far.

Tip for increasing screen realestate – turn town your UI Scale. If you go to Video, it’s in the first tap, towards the bottom right. Mine is turned down all the way, makes my life a lot easier.

all i can for sure recommend is Cryolysis3 — it’s mage only for now — and it’s made my life so much easier, and my screen real estate much better. i’m also using fubar, but since i just switched over to it a few weeks ago i can’t remember all the things i ended up adding in to that. suffice to say, though, that between the two of them i’m a much happier fire-tossin’ mage.

“This is the real reason I play a Gnome, at least I can see a little bit of WoW real estate.” <- lulz

That’s a lot of addons :S

I’m getting along fine with:
Omen (mostly for OT’ing and throwing Salv around)
Recount (for optimising rotations and stroking e-peen)
BarTender4 (very good for managing hotkeys, and having different bars appear in different stances etc, and very nice for moving stuff around the UI)
Grid (for raid healing)
Outfitter (for managing the 6 or so sets my druid and paladin use)
Proximo (only for arena)
RatingsBuster (mostly for item level)

Stuff I’ve dispensed with as my computer has slowed down:
Auctioneer (have a reasonable memory for prices and values, not really interested in bargain hunting)
Cartographer (should really replace this for coords and instance maps, but it was buggy)
Questhelper (played through content enough, and like to find my own way )
Lootlink (just broke at some point)
And a few others I can’t remember
