Due to the fact that from ToxiUI 6.0.0 we are utilising Pixel Perfect scaling, each resolution has a different UI scale. WeakAuras do not fit perfectly on resolutions other than 1440p! To accommodate that, you can do either one of these things:
Move the UnitFrames via
/moveuito make space for your WeakAuras packageChange the Group Scale of your WeakAuras package:
Open up the
/wapanelSelect the main parent group
Go to the Group tab
Reduce the Group Scale
Reduce all of the icon sizes to make the whole package smaller
Initial Import
When you initially import a WeakAuras package (preferably Luxthos) you will notice that they look... out of place? Well, one of the reasons is that we no longer provide skinning support for WeakAuras. The other reason is that we need to do some tweaking to achieve perfection! Continue reading to learn how!

Anchoring the WeakAuras
Click image to see full size
For the WeakAuras to fit in with the rest of ToxiUI an important thing is anchoring them to our own custom-made ElvUI anchor: ToxiUIWAAnchor -- this will make it so that the WeakAuras move when switching between DPS/Tank & Healer layouts and also will fade nicely the same way that the UnitFrames fade.
Open up the
/wapanelSelect the main parent group
Go to the Group tab
In the Anchored to dropdown, choose Select Frame
In the Frame field type in
ToxiUIWAAnchorMake sure that Set Parent to Anchor is Enabled
Adjust the Y Offset value.
If you're on 1440p resolution and using Luxthos WeakAuras package, the Y offset should be 0. For other resolutions & WeakAuras packages, the Y value will obviously be different.
If you want your WeakAuras to stop fading but still move with different layouts, disable Set Parent to Anchor!
Disabling the Cast Bar
Most Weak Auras packages come bundled in with a Cast Bar, but we feel that the ElvUI's Cast Bar has all the functionality needed and on top of that, it's already customised. Therefore we disable Weak Auras Cast Bar:
Open up the
/wapanelSelect the Cast Bar WeakAura
Right-click it
Select Delete; or you can go to the Load tab and select Never

Changing the Bar Texture

The main and one of the most attractive feature's of ToxiUI is the Gradient Mode. While we do not apply Gradient Mode to WeakAuras, you can easily replicate that with the textures we provide:
Open up the
/wapanelSelect the main parent group
Go to the Custom Options tab
Under Global Style, change the Resource Bar Texture to either of these:
- Tx Left- Tx Mid- Tx Right
Icons & Borders
Here we are, this is the end. Since we no longer provide WeakAuras skinning, you have to add borders and change the icon aspect ratios to fit in with the UI! If you're using Luxthos WeakAuras, you're in luck, because this will take at most 20 seconds:
Select the main parent group
Go to the Custom Options tab
In the Global Style dropdown increase the Border Size to 1
In the Icons sections, you have to change width & height to represent a 4:3 ratio
Increase the spacing for each of the icons to
2Change the font for each icon group to
- ToxiUI
These are the sizes I use for each category of icons:
Dynamic Effects Icons:
40 x 30Core Icons:
48 x 36Overflow Icons:
44x 33Side Icons:
We don't use theseUtility Icons:
40 x 30Maintenance Icons:
40 x 30Every icon spacing:
2Every font:
- ToxiUI
We also need to change the positions of our bars & icons:
Go to Custom Options
Under Core Icons make these adjustments:
Set Overflow Position to Below Main Icons
Set Resources Position to Above Core Icons
If you're not using Luxthos WeakAuras, well.. You'll have to do it manually...

Resource Bars

Last step is to adjust the resource bars and that can also be achieved via the Custom Options. Scroll down to the Resources & Class Settings section, and make these changes to each resource bar:
For your primary resource (energy, runic power, rage, fury etc.)
Change the font to
- M 900Change the font size to
24Change the height to
10
For your other resources:
Change the font to
- ToxiUIChange the height to
10or5The height depends on how important it is to see that bar
Finally, we need to offset our primary resource bar's text slightly higher.
Go to the Resources group in the main group
Select your primary resource bar
Go to the Display tab
Scroll down until you see a Text section
Expand the Anchors section, and change it to these settings:
Anchor Bottom
To Frame's Background
Top
Y Offset:
-5
