History
2017
BlizzCon introduced a glimpse of its new expansion content and features.
One of the features was visual improvements to the UI we're all familiar with.
From watching the BlizzCon streams (Xaryu's), I studied and re-created the new UI textures.
Originally a passion project, the AddOn was born! At the time, it was called "Battle for Azeroth UI".
Through this AddOn, players a way to experience the upcoming UI before its release.
Trivia: you can find this original AddOn here.
2019
WoW Classic was released!
The AddOn was ported over to Classic. Eventually it was renamed to "Retail UI".
Trivia: ironically, Xaryu himself also started using the AddOn at this point.
2021
WoW TBC was released!
The community extended this AddOn to work in TBC and created videos about the AddOn.
Soon after, Retail UI was officially updated for TBC!
