Why Shade UI Works
Most features are made with the default wow UI in mind. While Shade does make them pop and give them more utility, it doesnt drastically overhaul them UI wise.
Support & Discord
An active Discord server for bug reports, suggestions, feature requests, and help. Get answers fast and help shape the future of Shade UI.
Built for Stability
By keeping things native at heart, Shade UI ensures proper reliability across patches as much as possible... but edge cases do happen, join our Discord to make reports so we can improve stability for all users.
Performance First
FPS, CPU, and memory usage were all tested during raids, mythic+ and arenas with no major affect on performance. Fully optimized for Midnight and beyond.
Fully Modular
You control what's on or off. Turn on what you want, disable what you don't. There is no right or wrong way, refine whats yours and share with friends.
New User Setup: New users get a special onboarding screen prompting you to choose PvP or PvE. This automatically sets up basic functions and creates a proper foundation based on your playstyle. You can refine everything in-game using /shade or the fast access exit menu button.
