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

  • BagsThe categorized bags now show WoW Forever's keyring. Keys get their own Keyring category and section, which stays listed in the sidebar even while the keyring is empty, the keyring's slots stay out of the free slot count, and a new keyring button in the bag bar shows or hides it. Dropping a key on that button puts it into the keyring.
  • HoverCastThe binding picker has a new Actions tab, so Target Unit and Context Menu can be added as extra global or spec bindings, for example a second key for the menu. Added global actions can be deleted again.
  • SkinsNew RestedXP Guides skin. The guide window becomes one panel with a header bar and a class colored rule, the current steps in the list are marked in class color, active step cards, Active Items, Active Targets and Level Splits share one card style with borderless title tabs, and timer bars use the class gradient. Works with the legacy and the V2 guide window.

Improvements

  • Quick GridNew Equipment Sets deck with the first eight sets of your Equipment Manager, the set you wear is marked. Equipment sets can also go into the custom deck by typing their name.
  • Quick GridOn WoW Forever, spells now cast the highest rank you know instead of the rank they were added with.
  • BagsThe Offline Bank and the item counts in tooltips now also work on WoW Forever, with all nine bank bag slots and the keyring. Characters are told apart by their full name with surname.

Bugfixes

  • ActionBarsThe cooldown swipe now fully covers the icon. On UI scales that are not pixel perfect a thin strip of the icon showed next to the swipe, mostly on the left edge.
  • BagsNew bags can now be equipped through the bag bar of the categorized bags. Clicking or dropping an item on a bag slot now works like Blizzard's bag slots: a bag gets equipped or swapped in, an equipped bag can be dragged out, and the bar updates right away.Buying a bank or Warband bank tab from the categorized bank works again. The game silently blocked the purchase after confirming, the row now opens Blizzard's own purchase dialog.
