WoW:Viewing Blizzard's WoW user interface code

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/Blizzard Interface Data (enGB)/FrameXML (for an english client)
  • If you've also extracted the graphics, you'll want to know that textures are .blp files. Google for 'blp warcraft'to get an idea of what this means

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.
