Deathknight.info Community Mod Project

In spite of the countless man-hours spent by Blizzard on the design of the stock Deathknight rune interface, it's very lackluster. In case you haven't been keeping watch, the stock rune interface has gone through more than a few changes since WotLK alpha testing. Some are a bit more utilitarian than others, however by and large, every version but the latest version has been something unique and possessing a distinctly "Death Knight" feel.





The uninspired current incarnation of the unit frame has, however, caused extensive player modification to spring up in order to develop a more efficient rune ui. I've been keeping my eye on a user interface project being worked on over at Deathknight.info, which is a community project. That is, the author of the addon has been receiving requests from the forum goers and is in the final stages of releasing a finished product.

DKIRunes takes many of the elements from various other rune interface addons (RuneHero, RuneWatch, etc) and combines them into a seamless, incredibly customizable package that is independant of other PlayerFrame modifications.

If interested, head on over to the Deathknight.info thread for DKIRunes. A finalized version of the addon is expected by the time WotLK hits the shelves.
