[[Cosmos]] is a collection of interface modifications to the standard [[World of Warcraft]] user interface (UI).

=How does Cosmos work?=
Blizzard have provided a very flexible, yet safe system using [[Lua]] and XML to allow users to provide their own [[Interface Customization]]. See the [[Introduction]] for a brief summary on how this works.

Cosmos takes advantage of this to create a set of [[AddOns]] folders, including a few common libraries to make writing these AddOns a little easier. These all sit in your Interface/AddOns folder under your WoW directory - they are simple text files, which are read in by the WoW program. As such, they are totally benign.

In addition to this, Cosmos also provides an optional .exe file you can use. This is used to update the files in your AddOns folder, and also to upload information to Thottbot if you explicitly chose to enable this AddOn in the Cosmos in-game menu. If you don't explicitly enable Thottbot, this won't happen. You should only run .exe files which you trust. If you don't trust the Cosmos developers, or you want more direct control, you can install all the files manually from the zip file.
