I personally use to convert my files and do any cropping, texture mapping, etc. However, with some slight modifications, almost any image you can imagine or find can be formatted correctly for use in your UI. There are some restrictions on the image(s) that you can use with kgPanels. I’ve often used it just to have something fun or to delineate a “space” of my UI for a certain function.įor example, in this screenshot, panels have been matched between the chat panel, raid layout, raid status, and “button bin.” Getting Your Image Ready Most uses for kgPanels are rather mundane–adding borders and creating backgrounds for text-based UI elements–however, these elements can often help unify your UI with a common thematic scheme. In English, that means if you have a piece of digital artwork that you’d like to put to work in creating your UI, kgPanels is a perfect way to do it. KgPanels is, in a sentence, an add-on that allows the user to import custom textures into the user interface of World of Warcraft.

While some like a WoW-centric approach, only adding a convenient add-on as needed, others like to completely re-work their entire UI from top to bottom, transforming it into a work of art. The ability to customize your UI is one of the great breakthroughs that WoW has made for players.
