Bongos3 is now released. I encourage everyone to try it.

Bongos is an action bar replacement designed to be both low memory, and easy to setup. It is not as feature rich as other bar mods, but should include the features most commonly used.
Bongos2 ActionBar: Breaks up the main action bar into movable parts
Bongos2 Stats: A display for latency, framerate, and memory usage
Bongos2 RollBar: Makes the frame for rolling on items movable
Bongos2 CastBar: A movable casting bar, with the ability to show cast time
Bongos2 XP: A movable experience bar
Bongos2 MapBar: A movable mapbar
Bongos2 Options: A dynamically loaded options menu for Bongos
Features
Every Bongos bar can be moved, hidden, and have its scale and opacity altered
Sticky bars - Each bar can be anchored to any other bar
120 action buttons, which can be setup in any number of bars
Both macro and key binding text on action buttons can be hidden
Customizable stance transitions for each bar
General Settings
To bring up the options menu: type /bongos menu
To unlock bars: uncheck the lock bars option in the main options menu
To hide or show a bar: unlock bars, then middle click or shift right click it
To move a bar: unlock bars, and then click and drag it with the left mouse button

Key Bindings
Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos

I have used Bongos2 for a long time and never had any problems with the key bindings till recently.
I use key binds for secondary actions bars with multiple modifier keys:
ctrl+shift+1 though ctrl+shift+=
I recently started having a problem with the key combination of ctrl+shift+0
Bongos only seems to recognize the ctrl+shift part of the key bind. When you find the key this is what is shows on the screen and the key then does not correctly work.
I have tried this in Bongos3 as well and it does not work.
For Bongos 2 I am running version 1.10.1. As I said I used this key bind without error for a long time. I'm not really sure when it stopped working but I believe it hasn't worked since game version 2.3
I use a Logitech G11 keyboard which gives me an additional 18 function keys labelled G1 - G18, but in order to use them I have to make keybindings for obscure combinations that I don't currently use like CTRL-ALT-1, CTRL-ALT-A, etc. When I set this up on one of the action bars it shows as the keybound shortcut AC1, ACA, etc. rather than G1, G2 etc.
I was wondering if there would be a way in the near future to support G11 and G15 keyboards to show the G-functions rather than the keybinds or failing that if a player can set an alias for the bound key?
Hello everybody
i don't know if anyone has the same problem as me, and forgive me if someone report this problem in the past and you gave him the solution.
Anyway,
When i am in a party and a good item drops (party loot mode) it should open a window to press need greed or pass, but it won't! when i deactivate bongos 2 it works fine...
Help please!
WoW version : 2.3.3
Addons : Actioneer , Metamap , Questhelper , Timekeeper , Gatherer , and bongos 2
Bongos Version : 1.10.1

Originally posted by Tuller I think we're going around in circles. Can you give me a screenshot of the right click menu of the bar you're having a problem with?
Originally posted by Tuller Not too clear on what you're saying. Is it that you've set the faded opacity to 100%, but the other opacity value to 75% and the bar is showing up as being transparent still?
It may help if I explain the math then The value for faded opacity is a multiplier. The formula is bar faded opacity = bar's opacity * bar's faded opacity setting. So if you have a bar's opacity set to 0.75 and its opacity set to 1, then 0.75 * 1 = 0.75: the bar will be transparent.
I want everything to be back to 100% opacity. I don't want one bar at 75%, and another at 100%. I've tried raising the bar to 100% and using the command to set just the one bar to 100% - neither works.
Hey Tuller... did some more experimenting with buff and debuff highlighting in the latest version of Bongos 2. What I noticed is that the highlights consistently disappear when I use my hunter's misdirection. I know you mentioned having this problem in an earlier post too but weren't able to nail down a cause... hope this helps at least with this feature in your new Bongos 3 version.

Originally posted by dishes First of all, great mod. Very minimal but still with plenty of functionality.
I recently changed the opacity of bongos to 75%, and then later on decided I wanted another bar to show up all the time. Now that bar is at 100% opacity, and the rest is at 75%, but the slider shows it at 100%, and as of yet, I haven't found a way to get the first bar back up to 100%. I've gone down to 0 and up to 100% on the slider, used the command to change it individually, but nothing. It seems to think it's at 100% opacity, but it's not.
I use WoW 2.3.3, 1.10.1 of bongos, and plenty of addons, but I don't think that's the problem. I can list them all if needed, but I'm too lazy right now. I know I could just delete the folder and reinstall, but I'd hate to reconfigure all those binds and whatnot again... If there's anyway to same me from doing that, I'd be greatly appreciative!
