Tidy Bar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 5.2
by: danltiger [More]

TidyBar is a compact replacement for your action bars. It retains the design of the standard interface, which reducing the clutter on your screen.

Central Layout: The standard action buttons are centered on the bottom of the screen, with all your additional action buttons stacked above.

Vertical Action Bars: The action bars along the right side of your screen will remain hidden until you hover your mouse over the area.

Bags and Character Buttons: The bag and Character buttons are repositioned to the bottom right corner of your screen, and will remain hidden until you hover your mouse in that area.

Note: A well-known issue occurs when trying to enable or disable an actionbar while in combat; The bars do not reposition themselves until combat has finished. This is unlikely to ever be resolved, being a restriction in Blizzard's UI system; Only Blizzard code may change the position and visibility of a secure frame during combat.

Other Issues:
The stupid rested-state bar isn't positioning itself properly. I haven't had a chance to figure out a fix.




I'm not going to bug you by popping up an ad whenever you hit "Download". If you enjoy this addon and want to send a monetary "Thank You", please visit our Pledgie page by clicking on the button, above.

5.1: ToC bump

4.9:
- TOC Update for WoW 4.3
- Updated Corner Menu artwork

4.8:
- TOC update for WoW 4.2
- Updated for 4.2 UI Changes (Keyring removal, etc)

4.7:
Hopefully fixed the vehicle bar problems when the vehicle is destroyed, AND fixed the Flyout spell bar issue

4.2:
Hopefully fixed the experience bar and corner bar resetting.

---------------------
Ch-ch-ch-changes...
---------------------
3.14: Fixed Pet Bar, as I broke it when fixing shaman bar

3.13: Fixed the shaman totem bar problem. I think.. ;-)

Release 3.5: Main menu (character/spell/etc) buttons will properly stay visible when
the vehicle interface is shown. Fixed some issues with protected function calls.
New corner menu artwork! Hope you like it; I think it makes it look a wee bit
more polished.
---------------------
Release 3.4: Still trying to make sure the bar behaves well during vehicle switching. Added scaling.
---------------------
Release 3.3: Added event monitoring for exiting a vehicle, which will immediately update the bars.
---------------------
Release 3.2: Fixed issue where pet bar background was visible when bottom bars were hidden.
--------------------
Release 3.1: Changed TOC file to reflect the current interface version.
--------------------
Release 3: The side actionbars will now show up (regardless of mouseover) when the user drags an
actionbutton. The mouseover for the bag and mainmenu bars are now linked.
Code cleaned up; Should please my fellow developers. Removed some Runebar
positioning code (which was in there by accident).
--------------------
Release 2: Added mouseover behavior to the inner right-side action buttonbar. Added a
watcher frame under the Bags and Side Buttons to catch the mouseover when the
cursor is between the buttons. Previously, when you moved your cursor into
the narrow gap between the button sets, the buttons would disappear. Also,
removed dependency on Wowace! Slowly but surely, I'm cleaning it up.. ;-)
--------------------
Release 1: Initial Release
Optional Files (0)

The totem bar foobar...

I just might have it! Changed some things around so that the default UI can't adjust the position so easily. That may or may not be kosher, but we'll try it. Let me know how it turns out.

Tidy Plates takes so much of my addon dev time, that the little ones seem to miss out. I'll try to give them more love!

edit: i've noticed that sometimes it hapends when i go afk and come back from afk
edit 2 : it also hapends when you open/close map . i think this is the most annoying since when u quest you open/close your map alot
edit 3: and when you start mining while mounted

Re: shaman totem bar / dk presence bar

Sadly, no. I haven't gotten much free time, lately. I'd like to get in some coding time over the long weekend, but we'll see how that goes. The family gets first dibs, y'know?

OK ok ok, I'll see what I can do. At least the UpdateUI() thing takes care of it. My issue is, figuring out which events need to fire UpdateUI. It seems that the Blizz UI is "fixing" itself more often than in the past.

Re: Re: Re: About tha totem bar bugg mon

Cool - I'm going to see if I can figure out what event I need to watch for. Maybe I can hijack my wife's shammy for a bit..

See if this corrects the prob..

/script TidyBar:UpdateUI()

If so, I'll have to figure out what event to watch for, and trigger the function.

It usually occurs when you "zone in" example, when you join an arena game and when you see 30 secs until the game starts. Dunno if that can help you: )
When it's bugging the totembar simply hides under the upper action bar but there is still a little glimpse of every totem. And when I mouseover this glimpse of totem and "drag em out" the addon goes back to normal again
(can post a screenshot if it helps you my English aint my mother tounge, hehe)

Cheers and keep up this great addon it is appreciated!

Re: About tha totem bar bugg mon

I spent a good hour trying to get the problem to occur on my shammy, but it just won't do it. I know the error exists because I've seen it on my wife's character, but I can't duplicate it consistently... which makes debugging it quite hard. :-(
