Intro
- Small mod to edit the positions of the default ActionBars.
- It does moving and scaling only.
- Button textures, range/mana-coloring and fonts (hotkey, macroname) can be changed with "rActionButtonStyler"
- Cooldowns can be done with "OmniCC" from Tuller
- EXP/REP bar can be done with "jExp" from Mertex.
- Mod can only be edited by lua editing!
- You can move/scale the bars to your liking just check the lua file.
Moving
To move the bars move your mouse to the side of a bar and then hold down the ALT+SHIFT-key and click your mousebutton and hold it. Now move your mouse and drag the bar whereever you want. Its easier if you activate the testmode first. A frame is movable if it is set to movable in the config, otherwise it is not movable.
Locking
You can lock every bar. If a bar is locked it cannot be moved anymore but keeps the position you have set up, unless you set the movable variable to 0. This will delete the layout-cache entry and the default value is used.
Bar layout
Bar1 and bar2 can be of the format 2x6 buttons or 1x12 buttons. You can set this in the config.
On mouseover
Bars can be set to be visible on mouseover in the config. If you set the on mouseover variable to 0 the bar will be always visible (if it is active obiously).
Add / Disable bars
You can add / remove bars in the Blizzard interface options. (Escape -> interface options -> actionbars). You can show/hide the micro menu and the bags in the config.
Layout-cache.txt
You position data is saved in a file called layout-cache.txt. It is saved per character and can be found in the WTF folder under your character. If you want to use the setting of one character for all just copy the file from that character to all your other characters.
Important: If you upgrade rActionBarStyler to a new version with different config settings (the bar layout for example) the SetPoint from the layout-cache.txt will be used and not the default one. Thus your bars may look wierd. Its no bug, just adjust the config and/or move the bars.
Config
You can set this mod up by opening the rActionBarStyler.lua with Notepad or some editor of your liking. All the major settings can be made at the config area. Its as userfriendly as I could. To activate something write a 1 behind it (1 = on), otherwise use a 0 (0 = off).
Don't forget to reloadui after you changed and saved a setting. (/console reloadui)

Optional Files - rActionBarStyler
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
You can edit your keybindings in the default Blizzard keybinding area. The bars used are still the default ones. If you want to see your keybindings check rActionButtonStyler info page and/or the FAQ.
For the orb value change check the roth ui comments, but don't hurt yourself. The ui was made with a specific layout in mind. You can always use a different UI or learn how to write/edit oUF layouts.
