WoW:Viewing Blizzard's WoW user interface code

Current Interface Code

This interface code was extracted from FrameXML on (12/05/06) using Blizzard's regular UI Customization Tool. Please note that that the URI referred to in the 2.0 release notes contains a link to the BC-beta interface customization tool, which will not work with the Off-The-Shelf version of WoW.

Interface Version: 20000

Extracting FrameXML locally

• Download Blizzard's UI Customization Tool (Follow the Support Tools link on http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ )
  • This direct link should also work.
• Run it, click the appropriate button(s)
• When it's done look in World of Warcraft/Interface/FrameXML
  • Textures are a bunch of .blp files. google for 'blp warcraft'to get an idea of what this means

Burning Crusade

• If you wish to extract the Burning Crusade beta UI files, use this direct link Source

Note that this will only work with the beta version of the game, not the current release nor the final version.

Viewing FrameXML on the web

• http://wdn.wowinterface.com keeps a database of all versions of FrameXML online. You can compare different versions to each other, view the contents of specific files (in a specific interface version), or just download the entire interface as it looked for a given version. Even test server versions are available.
