+
+# ElvUI Vanilla (1.12.1)
+This is the backported version of ElvUI for World of Warcraft 1.12.1
+<br />
+ElvUI is a full UI replacement.
+It completely replaces the default Blizzard UI at every level with a new and better interface.
+As such, you'll only ever have to update ElvUI and not worry too much about its individual components.
+This UI will arrange your interface to be more flexible and practical.
