DEPRECATION NOTICE

As of 12/10/2020 Improved Blizzard UI is no longer split between WoW versions. Please refer any and all issues / PR's to the parent repo

Improved Blizzard UI (Classic Edition)

Improved Blizzard UI is an attempt to improve the World of Warcraft interface by styling frames, implementing additional functionality and restructuring / hiding existing elements.

Due to the drastic differences between Classic and Mainline WoW this has been forked to it's own thing.

This is a complete ground up rewrite using Ace3 to make porting between versions a bit easier and the upgrade process between patches smoother.

Project Development Setup

To get a working installation of Improved Blizzard UI you must first clone the repository to a directory of your choosing.

Execute ./setup.sh - This will pull in all dependencies and put them in the libs folder.

This will require you to have the following:

• SVN CMD (Eg, SlikSVN)
• ZIP Extension (If on Windows install Cygwin)
• Ability to open shell files (Eg, Git BASH)
