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: Love the addon bro: )

Well, I'm not really sure. I've logged into my shaman a few times, but I haven't had issues with the totem bar. So, duplicating the problem has proved to be the trickiest part. My wife (who runs a shaman) is crazy, and doesn't like this addon, so that's no help - lol

For the alpha; Search the TidyBar.lua file for the following lines..

Code:

TidyBar:FadeMain(0)

TidyBar:FadeSideBars(0)

TidyBar:FadeCorner(0)

.. and change each of the 0's to whatever you want (between 0.0 and 1.0).

As for the XP bar, that'd be a bit more work. I'll look into that when I get more time.

Search for all instances of "FadeCorner(0)", and change it to "FadeCorner(1)"
Repeat for "FadeMain(0)", and "FadeSideBars(0)".

That should get you what you're after. ;-)

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

You can use Blizzfacade (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...izzFacade.html) to skin Blizzards Actionbars with ButtonFacade. This also works with Tidy Bar

The pet bar should show up, as usual. At least, it does for my hunter and DK..
