This is from the most recent stress test> I was running Bartender4, Details damage meter, and Questie (so I could find additional quests)
DoomC PM me your addons/setup, this is something I want to do down the track after the initial blizz interface hype. I want a really minimalist interface for maximum eyeball pleasure, leveling vibes, chill beats, damn - that is nice.
This is what mine will be when I login at Classic. Already changed the settings file to the correct server name:
What you don't see is Kui Nameplates that are on when in combat and off when out of combat. I recently also changed the action bar art so the outer texture is not visible. Just the icon with a neat border from a icon pack.
I like my UI clean.

Eyeball pleasure was at peak levels out of combat
These are the addons I was using at the time:
Thanks for everyone posting images, its fun to see :) I haven't played wow since 2006, and still waiting to login at classic release..
So I will try to add addons after I've played for a while.
Both are variations of ElvUI on a 3.3.5 server I play on.

This is my setup. Just waiting. Waiting, W a i t i n g.....
Really nice UI, OP. It looks fairly similar to what I ended up as my "perfect" UI. Basically everything hidden (except minimap, still couldn't figure out how to get rid of that. Maybe mouseover only out of combat?), then unit frames fade in with combat or target, as well as cooldown with the same conditionals. add a couple meters for raids, and you got all the info you need.
For classic, I plan to run nothing to 60. Then I'll see if I want to keep that retro feel with just a threat meter or whatever, or go for my full "exploration" UI/

You don't need the minimap most of the time, so I toggled it with a button (which toggled the OPie addon). Same with tooltips and player names. I always found it odd how we have all this junk taking up screen space that half of the time we don't need to see. Why do I need to see threat meters, ability bar, minimap, etc. When I'm in town at the AH? Or why do I need to have chat from 30 mins ago still taking up screen space when I can just fade it out and see it on mouse over.
Not having all that crap on screen really brought the world to life. But I'll probably do something similar to you just for nostalgia sake. Use the downscaled default UI in the beginning until I get sick of it.

Classic so far (need to mess with scale still)
DoomC I like your minimalistic UI, I'm looking to create something similar for classic. How do you keep track of all your abilities though? I mean totems for example. Do you memorize keybindings for every single totem or do you switch the main action bar?

I'd say you have to play for a while with skillbars on, and once you learn the location by muscle memory. Just hide them.
No UI addons for me other than a few buttons by my mini map.

Yes, I switch the main action bar with my mouse between 2 or 3 different bars. Since retail pruned a lot of spells & abilities theres's really not much to bind.
