Each week, WoW Insider and Mathew McCurley bring you a fresh look at reader-submitted UIs as well as Addon Spotlight, which spotlights the latest user interface addons. Have a screenshot of your own UI that you’d like to submit? Send your screenshots along with info on what mods you’re using to readerui@wowinsider.com, and follow Mathew on Twitter.

One of the more difficult types of user interfaces to address is one in distress, not necessarily because of the lack of skill of the UI’s creator but mostly because he or she might not know what questions to ask. When someone asks a pointed question about an addon recommendation or UI fix, there’s usually a definitive answer. What can I do to fix my UI?, however, is a different beast of a question altogether. What needs fixing? What do you feel is broken? What if things just work, but you don’t know how it could work better because of the lack of knowledge?

Understud’s UI could use some work, which is why the short but hopeful email that was sent to me caught my eye. If this column is about anything, it is about helping people gain ideas and knowledge and what the WoW interface is capable of. Understud needs help learning and understanding, while at the same time, he seeks to benefit from the generals — UI-building tips that span all user interfaces. Let’s see if we can help him out, because if there is one thing we do here at Reader UI of the Week, it’s care.Continue reading Reader UI of the Week: A call for help from UnderstudFiled under: Add-Ons, Reader UI of the WeekReader UI of the Week: A call for help from Understud originally appeared on WoW Insider on Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:00:00 EST.
