New to World of Warcraft? Ever wonder what we do to make our windows look all spiffy during gameplay? Well then, this is the article for you.

Over at Atomic, Logan Booker's written a very insightful and lengthy explanation to WoW modifications. It's got everything, from an overview of what mods are to installing them. He even suggests mods that are considered staples of any veteran's arsenal, as well as some other functional ones that are off the radar for some people.

Now that you've picked up a couple of mods you want to use, he also offers some suggestions for interface layouts, from the usual top-heavy and centered styles, to a very minimalist style that gives you a ton of free space. All in all, reading that will give you no excuse to keep using Blizzard's old style, so why not give mods a try, eh?
