About ElvUI
ElvUI is a full user interface replacement for World of Warcraft, which means it completely replaces the Blizzard default UI.
ElvUI is
not
a collection of multiple addons, like some people may believe.
If you want to use other AddOns for specific features like Chat, ActionBars, NamePlates - you have to disable the ElvUI module for this feature first.
The advantages of ElvUI:
- You can customize every single part of your UI to your liking.
- Its very popular which means many people use it and you can share your ideas and profiles with the community and friends.
- Many community plugins allow you to customize even further by adding whole new functions and options.
ElvUI Addon Guide by Luckyone
In this comprehensive guide about the ElvUI addon we will guide you step-by-step through every single section of the UI replacement with as much detail as possible.
If you think there is any open question after reading this guide, feel free to comment and we will try our best to give you an answer.
Every option and screenshot is up-to-date as of
31-05-2023
and we will always edit further as development changes apply to ElvUI.
Part 1: Downloading ElvUI
As you may have noticed, unlike other WoW addons ElvUI is not available on the Curseforge client.
In order to get your ElvUI copy you need to head over to our website
https://www.tukui.org/
Once on the website, you have two options to download and update your ElvUI.
1.1 Manual download and installation
In order to manually download ElvUI you can either click the "Download ElvUI" button in the middle of the website,
or click on "Addons" in the top navigation bar of the website, then click ElvUI and choose "Download".
1.2 Auto download and installation via the WowUp Client
The WowUp Client is a lightweight addon installer for all your addons including the major addons ElvUI and Tukui, aswell as all community-made plugins for the two UI replacements like AddOnSkins, Shadow&Light, MerathilisUI, BenikUI, LuckyoneUI and many more.
You can download the latest version of the WowUp Client with the following link:
https://wowup.io/
Part 2: Installing ElvUI
A step-by-step on how to install the ElvUI addon and the WowUp Client.
2.1 Manually installing ElvUI
If you would like to install ElvUI without the WowUp Client, then you can simply follow those steps in the correct order.
• Download the .zip file from
https://www.tukui.org/
• Rightclick the .zip file and hit "Extract" (Windows)
• Open the extracted folders and check their capitalization ->
ElvUI
|
ElvUI_Options
|
ElvUI_Libraries
• Move them to the correct WoW folder: Either _retail_ or _classic_ -> Interface -> AddOns
2.2 Installing ElvUI via the WowUp
If you would like to use the WowUp Client to download and install ElvUI and their community plugins, then please follow those steps.
• Download the WowUp Client from
https://wowup.io/
• Run the install file and follow their steps
• Open the WowUp Client
• Click on "Get Addons" on the left side of the client
• Click on "Install" on the right side of "ElvUI" and wait for the client to finish the download and install
Part 3: Getting started with the ElvUI ingame installer
The first time you login to the game after you installed ElvUI, you will get pop-up step-by-step installer for some important steps to set up ElvUI.
Make sure to follow the installer steps once on every character before you make your own changes to the UI or import someones or your own profile.
Note:
Those steps are just the initial setup of the UI, you can always change your mind later and access all of them in the options.
3.1 Installer Steps
Welcome to ElvUI and some information how to access the ElvUI options after the installer is complete.
CVars are Blizzards console variables which are relevant to ElvUI in order to work properly, do not skip this!
The initial setup of the ElvUI chat module and skin, do not skip this!
In this step you choose if you want to setup a new profile or use an import.
The initial setup of your color-style of the UI, you can always change your mind later!
The overall screen scale for elements of your screen. I recommend to use Auto Scale.
The default layouts of ElvUI for different roles, you can customize after the installer.
The mode how your Buffs and Debuffs are displayed (Bars or Icons), you can change this later aswell.
Link to our support Discord and the "Finished" button which will reload your UI to finalize the process.
Part 4: The ElvUI options and modules
Here are some screenshots of the current ElvUI menu with and without additional plugins installed.
Your version number is always displayed in the top bar of the addon options menu.
The ElvUI logo in the top left is always colored in your current class color :)
4.1 Modules explained
The ElvUI menu has a lot of options and it can be information overflow if you open the window the first time but most of the modules and their different options are pretty self-explaining and have a description if you mouseover them.
Here is an overview of all modules. In-depth informations later on.
Options for the UI Scale, Auto Repair, Interrupt Announce and cosmetic
Top Panel
and
Bottom Panel
for your screen.
Options for
Alternative Power
used for example in fights like Carapace and N'Zoth or in
Visions of N'Zoth
to display sanity.
Some more
Blizzard UI Improvements
like height and auto-hide for the Objective Frame and
Chat Bubbles
style.
In here you can fully customize your ActionBars, Stance Bar, Micro Bar and ExtraActionButton.
You will find options to change their size, their font, mouseover options, action paging and much more.
ElvUI offers your 10! ActionBars instead of just 6 like in Blizzards UI.
Those are the options for your Bank, Bag and Bag-Bar. You can change almost every part of them, some examples: Size, Fonts, Colors, Auto-Sell grays and junk.
The ElvUI Bank and Bags have a search bar by default if you are looking for specific items!
This part is about the Buffs and Debuffs near the minimap, like in Blizzards default UI.
You will find a toggle to enable/disable them. You can change their size, set up how many should be displayed and you can also
enable the option

Masque
to handle their skin.
By default, ElvUI comes with two chat panels (left and right). In here you will find many options to customize them.
You can seperatly edit both windows and also hide one or both, change their size, fonts, etc.
The ElvUI CD text module is highly customizable in terms of colors, style, fonts, thresholds and much more.
Some players like to compare the module to the addon OmniCC, with more options!
DataBars means XP Bar, Reputation Bar, Honor Bar and Azerite Bar. You will find many options to customize them like
text format, fill orientation and toggles like mouseover or "Hide At Max Level".
Those are the little information bars below your chat windows and you can customize them in here to display whatever you want.
For example FPS/MS, Durability, Bag slots, Gold and many many more cool information panels!
All options for MiniMap and the big WorldMap, you can also change the position and size of your MiniMap buttons in here!
NamePlates are the little bars above NPCs and other players.
In ElvUI you will have 4 different sections to customize them: Enemy NPC, Enemy Player, Friendly NPC, Friendly Player.
Style Filters options are also in here and you can enable/disable a additional
Classbar
to display for example Combo Points.
The
Target
indicator offers many options like top arrows, side arrows and border or background color glow.

You can anchor it to your mouse or to a fixed position on the screen and also set up a auto-hide during combat and much more!
Unitframes is the biggest module of them, in here you will find all options for your player and target frame aswell as the raidframes etc.
ElvUI seperates them into two categories: Individual Units such as player, target, pet, focus and Group Units such as party, raid, tank, assist, arena and boss frames.
Available Tags is what you use in ElvUI to customize your displayed text on different frames like the player frame.
This list is a full overview with descriptions of all tags you can use in any "Text Format" or "Custom Text" box while editing your UnitFrames or NamePlates.
Some examples:

displays mana, energy, rage, etc.
displays the level.
In here you can edit your Aura (Buffs/Debuffs) filters.
For example you can add spell IDs or names to a blacklist or whitelist if you want to hide or show those specific spells on a frame.
I will include a comprehensive guide for aura filters in the links at the end.

Tags
with custom text. Sounds confusing, but its not. Here are some examples:

i have been using ELVUI for quite a while (3+ Years) and the one feature i would like to see but am surprised it is not there is a save option. not the use another characters layout, because if i use a profile for a different character and make changes for that on another character it saves those changes to all characters using that profile. i want to setup a layout i like to use as a core setup and then save it and make minor changes per character. My example is i am using Benikui bars and i listing attributes that this character uses (Int, Crit, Haste) and then change to another character and change them to (Agi, Mastery, Haste) it changes it to the latest changed Stats.
So in short Make a save button so you can save your profile with whatever name you want.

Been wanting to try Elvui for years, but either too intimidated to try or too lazy to redo addons for all my characters. Your guide has finally pushed me to do it for BFA!

Thank you so much for putting so much effort into a detailed guide of this UI. I was deciding whether downloading it would be worth it to my gameplay experience, and this guide made me feel extremely confident in doing so. Wonderful work!

I really enjoy ElvUI when I'm doing end content like Raids and Mythic Dungeons. The Interface really helps. But, for everyday content, I like the standard UI. Also, this guide is INCREDIBLE!

I absolutely love the depth of customization that is available in ElvUi. The ability to set modules to mouseover and/or enable/disable allows someone like me that really likes a minimalistic layout to have all of the bells and whistles, but only when I need them (and quickly).

You can add ElvUI_QuestXP to the plugin list in 6.2 as it was implemented into ElvUI's codebase.

I love this guide but no where can I see how to change my minimap button bar. Before this last patch I had a nice bar for all my minimap buttons and now I have little circles all over my minimap and I can't find any where to change this back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I am sure this is a great addon, and I have downloaded it on my laptop, but for crying out loud the text is too damn small for my 58 year old eyes; it is putting a strain on them, as I am having to squint! How do I make all the text bigger so I can actually read the damn thing?
Update: I had to go to another website to find out the info I needed. After having resizing the fonts nd trying to rearrange all the boxes and buttons, I really don't like this addon. I am going to delete it and use something else that is more user friendly.

Is there a way to use Blizzard's objective/quest log instead of ELVUI's? I find the current interface difficult to use.

** This reply might really be the start of a new thread, but it would seem to be of particular interest to the ElvUI addon community ... and this comment is intended for the reply to be moderated accordingly **
Due to the way many new or updated addons throw LUA errors I usually disable (or toggle off/on) the display of LUA error messages via one or more macros used in-game.
Is there a dependable method of generating a summary of the LUA errors that have occurred since the last time the UI was loaded? The summary could be a simple table with the addon (module) name and number of errors it has thrown, sorted by error count in descending order. That would let a person figure out which addon or module thereof was causing the most errors, then deal with the worst offenders first.
What I am looking for is the sort of debugging tool that has been very commonly used in conjunction with serious compilers and interpreters for decades; generally included with a programming language package (or IDE which supports one or more programming or scripting languages) since the late 1980s, earlier where software for pre-microcomputer systems is concerned. More elaborate, configurable versions of such debugging tools started appearing with optimizing compilers for somewhat obvious reasons.
There are lots of popular software programs similar to WoW in that they allow for the creation and use of addons, that addon-level debugging tools often exist for these programs, at the LUA-code level in the case of WoW addons. It is clearly helpful to know when the LUA errors are coming from built-in addons after a significant change to WoW has required popular 3rd-party addons (read: the kind that exist for at least a few years including at least one new WoW game expansion). Sometimes, after a major change in the game, some of the errors end up being due to things Blizzard has to fix -- or not -- which made dealing with non-Blizzard addons right after such big changes a pointless waste of time. Unfortunately, the WoW Betas and even PTRs do not seem to give much advance warning to addon developers or players who use several addons that have demonstrated long-term popularity, much less people writing (or affected by) addons created especially for a new expansion.
It seems that after the relaunch of WoW-SL when the initial pre-patch and launch of SL failed badly enough that it delayed the actual release of SL by a few months, that those concerned with addons might have come up with some better addon-level debugging tools than existed just prior to the release of WoW-BFA. Is that a reasonable hope or just silly wishful thinking on my part? :-;

Let me say this is an exhaustive guide for ElvUi. I only have to disagree with one thing you have stated.
The advantages of ElvUI:
- You can customize every single part of your UI to your liking. < This is a suggestive statement and one that proves to be inaccurate. Because my liking and the majority of my friends cannot stand class coloring on tooltips. How can such an inclusive addon, that you can customize to almost the letter on everything , be so abhorrently lacking on the simplest option to remove the class coloring from the tooltip? Now if that option is there I may have missed it, though It also is not listed in this guide. Is this a possibility without adding other plugins? Is this an option on retail and not Classic? I do not play retail.

I have been using ElvUI for years and absolutely love it! It was working fine prior to Dragonflight pre-patch but as soon as 10.0.0 hit, it was totally broken. I struggled for three days trying all I could to get it to work, installed all the current ElvUI releases as they became available. It simply would not replace the Blizzard UI as it was supposed to. Yesterday I looked pretty deep into the addon installs and found the answer to get it to work.
Apparently, if you've been using ElvUI prior to the patch, there are two files you have to delete.
Make sure you are completely out of Game
In your World of Warcraft Installation Folder navigate to World of Warcraft>_retail_>WTF>Account>{random character account name}>{your realm}>{your toon name}>SavedVariables
Find elvui.lua and elvui.lua.bak and delete both of them. (Don't worry as soon as you login to your toon the elvui.lua file will be rewritten in the saved variables folder)
Log into that character in game and ElvUI will be there, replacing the Blizzard UI as intended and all of your settings are still retained from before the patch. (ElvUI will not pop up the setup wizard for pre-existing toons. It will for new toons.)
*note: If you have multiple toons in multiple realms, you'll have to do this for every single toon in every realm
Hope this helps someone who was struggling like I was.

Is there a way to preview the loot-roll frame so I can actually see how it's going to look?
Currently, all edits made are completely blind until you are able to roll on something, at which point you might discover it's off-screen or you're otherwise unable to click one of the options and end up missing out on loot...
