Tidy Bar

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

Re: is there a way...

Find this function:

Code:

local function FadeSideBar(desired)
	sideBarAlpha = desired
	if isButtonGridShown then final = 1 else final = desired end
	for i = 1, 12 do
		_G["MultiBarRightButton"..i]:SetAlpha(final);
		_G["MultiBarLeftButton"..i]:SetAlpha(final);
	end
end

and comment out (or remove) the code inside. (don't remove the actual function)

rActionButtonStyler is what I've used in the past. ButtonFacade is for addons which create new buttons.

Here's the link:

Cheers!

A couple people have reported that the client becomes unresponsive when they encounter a loading screen (after login). You're the first to report a crash, though. I haven't tested on a shaman for many moons, which I should probably do. I have not been able to duplicate the load-screen issues, myself. (I wouldn't have released a version if it was clearly problematic)

And... I don't expect anyone to read through all the posts. ;-) It's a pain in the butt without a search feature.

You could try putting it under the UpdateUI() or the Startup() function (starting at lines 188 and 208ish).

188:190

Code:

local function UpdateUI()
if InCombatLockdown() then return end
ShapeshiftBarFrame:Hide()

209:210

Code:

local function Startup()
ShapeshiftBarFrame:Hide()

I just wanted to see if it was known and if so had a fix. I havn't tried it with any other stance/shap shift bar. Oh and i didnt say it before but I love the bars. I really hope I cna get them to work with my shaman.

It happens 100% of the time during the load screen. I've run it with a clear cache as the only addon. The crash occurs on any of my WoW machines (Windows 7, Windows XP and Mac OSX). It only occurs on my Shaman character. Is there anyway I can dump a log for you? It's not making anything by default because the client just hangs :/ Edit: If I remove this part it seems to work perfectly, if that helps any... Code: if MultiCastActionBarFrame:IsShown() then -- Totem bar MultiCastActionBarFrame:ClearAllPoints(); MultiCastActionBarFrame:_SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", anchor, "TOPLEFT", 0, anchorOffset); anchor = MultiCastActionBarFrame anchorOffset = 4 end Last edited by lag : 11-06-10 at 12:21 PM.

Re: Shaman Crashing

It was actually this stuff causing the problems:

Code:

MultiCastActionBarFrame._SetPoint = MultiCastActionBarFrame.SetPoint
MultiCastActionBarFrame.SetPoint = function() UpdateUI() end

I was overriding the default function because I was having trouble holding the totem bars in the right position; In-game events would cause the totem bar to go back to it's usual position, so I said "F-this, I'm going to prevent the UI from moving it without MY permission".

I guess the client didn't like that so much.

Re: Re: Shaman Crashing

Cool, glad that's fixed. Was driving me insane when it first started happening. Ended up turning each of my addons off one at a time until I finally came across the alphabetically misfortune TidyBar.

One of these days I'll learn LUA to figure this stuff out... :fisttoheavens:

Thanks again for the great addon!
