#Elvui tukui not loading how to
Tl Dr: I fell in love with Tukui then realized I fell in love with a design that no longer exists and would like to find out how to get it back. Though if it's not possible I still appreciate any time given to reading about my weird dilemma :D Whether it be reaching out to people who are smarter than me that can help with this, or just explaining what I'd need to do so I can get this UI that kinda no longer exists. The reason why I'm sharing my plight with reddit is that I would like to know if there is some way for me to recapture this great design that was sadly removed from existence. Played around a bit and broke the addon each time. The catch is that I'm know not one thing about that stuff. One thing I did pick up on is the fact that editing files is required for a good portion of Tukui modification.

Tuk himself added back the connector border design as an option which was real cool, but still doesn't look the same. Which was real disappointing as I especially thought it would look great on the Classic game. There was just no way to get the classic look back through in game means. Even did the same in Elv but just couldn't get the look down. I tried in game to mess with certain aspects to recapture the look a bit, but to no avail. I knew it always had a connection to elv, but it lost it's distinction imo. I felt it lost the personality and clean but unique design of the old layout. I acknowledge that it is a clean design that may appeal to some, but I was not a fan. Also another weird thing is that it doesn't show mana value in Classic anymore which I'm not used to. Also cool utilities like the bar closing button were gone. Certain things like the colors, bar layout, and borders (like having a border around just the UF info panel) were changed/made thinner/junked. I was unaware of this as every single video/picture I saw of the UI was the old version. You see, I learned that in 2018 Tukui was redesigned from it's classic look into a new one. However, I encountered a very large problem with this as I learned more. A timeless design that I could plug in any version of the game and it'd fit and look good. I loved how it was similar to elvui which I like quite a bit, but also had it's own clean and also a bit lighter aesthetic and looked great out of the box.

And I had found screenshots that really sold me on it.

This was cool as I was deep into classic and have always had a weird sense of purity when it comes to UI (I.e, dont want a 2022 looking interface on an 18 year old version of the game). I had discovered Tukui in all of its glory, and heard that it had been around since way back then. An addon that I had heard of, but payed no attention. That is until recently, when I found Tukui. I've made dozens of Elv, dominos, masque, and other unit frame profiles over the years but none have really stuck with me. For years, I like many others have tried my hardest to find the UI for me.
