Because Blizzard's default UI looks like it was designed by a murloc having a bad day.
SuaviUI is a World of Warcraft addon that makes your interface look suave (hence the name, genius 🧠).
It's what happens when someone stares at the default WoW UI for 10,000 hours and finally snaps.
- Skinning - We put makeup on Blizzard's frames. They needed it.
- Action Bars - Your buttons, but fancier
- Unit Frames - Health bars that don't look like they're from 2004
- Castbar - Know when your spell is done casting (revolutionary, I know)
- Custom Trackers - Track things. Customly. Is that a word? It is now.
- Buff Borders - Because naked buffs are inappropriate
- M+ Timer - So you can precisely see how badly you're timing the key
- Tooltip Improvements - More info, less mystery
- And more! - I got tired of listing features
- World of Warcraft: Retail (The War Within)
- A computer (probably)
- At least 2 brain cells to install an addon
- A burning desire to have a pretty UI
- Download this masterpiece
- Extract to
World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\ - Make sure the folder is named
SuaviUI(notSuaviUI-mainorSuaviUI-master- we've all been there) - Launch WoW
- Marvel at your new beautiful UI
- Forget how the default UI looked
- Never go back
/sui - Open the options panel (where the magic happens)
Q: Will this make me better at the game?
A: No, but you'll look good while being bad.
Q: Is this compatible with [other addon]?
A: Maybe. Try it. Live dangerously.
Q: The addon broke my game!
A: That's not a question, but have you tried turning it off and on again?
Q: Can I have feature X?
A: File an issue and we'll think about it while eating snacks.
Found a bug? Want to add a feature? Know how to code Lua without crying?
Pull requests welcome! Just make sure your code doesn't summon demons. We've had enough of those in Shadowlands.

Do whatever you want with it. It's not like we can stop you. Just don't blame us if your character suddenly starts /dancing in raids.
Made with 💜 and an unhealthy amount of screen time
Remember: Friends don't let friends use default UI.
