A druid using TidyBar

Tidy Bar

TidyBar was designed to be a small, light-weight, and compact replacement for the default Action Bar.

Features:

Central Button Layout: Lower right, lower left, Shape-shift, Pet, and Possess action-bars stack above the main bar.
Hidden Bags and Menus: The Main Menu and Bag micro-buttons hide in the lower right corner of your screen, and become visible on mouse-over.
Hidden Vertical Action-bars: The action-bars along the right side of the screen also remain invisible until mouseover.

I've tested it using 1680x1050 and 1024x768 monitors, and it looks good on both.

Thanks to both 'Shamahan' and 'Neal' for their wonderful addons, which certainly inspired this small project.

--

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 be resolved in the near future, as it's a limitation/feature of Blizzard's UI system; Only Blizzard code (or a player hardware event, such as a click-and-drag) may change the position and visibility of a secure frame, while in combat.

Change Log - Tidy Bar

---------------------
Ch-ch-ch-changes...
---------------------
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

Re: Re: Re: on top

It's a good idea; I can't promise anything, but I'll look into it.

I have not written code that specifically supports it, so I suppose the simple answer is, "No."

Under Tidy Bar, no additional buttons are created; all the action buttons are from the original UI, repositioned. The default global button names are also preserved. I don't see a reason why a skinning addon would have any trouble accessing those buttons, but I have not used either of the addons that you refer to.

I've tried buttonfacade for my buffs and rActionbuttonstyler for actaion bars, but there aren't uniform skins that I'm aware of.

Re: Re: Re: Question on centering

Updated! With the offsets placed at the beginning of the file. It should be pretty easy to pick up. ;-)

Edit the scale, once more! Look at the beginning top of the LUA file.. it's pretty self-explanatory.

It just becomes uneasy for the eyes with text size cuz I use the default UI.

Knowing a bit of LUA, you'd be able to jump in and edit the offsets. But, it would probably be easier if I setup some variables at the head of the file that you could edit.

Thanks. =)

The type gets too small on the unitframes, eh? I'll see what I can do; It's merely a matter of timing, since the feature had been in there. It will likely be a simple 'copy-paste' deal.
