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

Hey, no problem! I'll take a look at spec changing, etc. But not tonight. Just got home, tired, going to bed...

You probably did. I think the problem may have been the changes I made to unhide the sidebars and to hide the gryphons. Gryphons are no biggie now, I found another mod called nogryphons to get rid of them. I think maybe I commented out too many lines to unhide the side bars. If your using an editor that gives you the line numbers could you just tell me which line numbers to comment out to just unhide the sidebars? If not maybe just past in the specific lines in their entirety.

Sorry to be such a pest but now you have me hooked. I love the way my screen looks using your mod and it it soooooo much easier than using something like dominos or bartender.

Thanks for all your help and patience,
Twidget

Oh! I forgot to say that the reason I think you did fix it was that after I reloaded the mod, undoing the changes I made, the problem went away. So I think it must have been something I did.

Oops... take that back. I just switched specs on my priest and the xp bar stayed OK but the menu bar in the lower right corner is now unhidden. The bag bar is still hidden. If I reloadui it fixes it.

Roane A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 14 Uploads: 0	Thank you! With your advice, I managed to move the sidebars using this: Code: if MultiBarRight:IsShown() then MultiBarRight:ClearAllPoints() MultiBarRight:SetPoint("RIGHT", UIParent, "RIGHT", 0, 0 ) end That centers it on the right, which happens to be the height I want it. I could adjust it easily up or down from this point, though, and the left bar seems anchored to the right bar so it moves right along with it. Edited to add: Actually, it's not quite right. When I enter combat, the bars shift back to their original location. If I reload or go into and out of stealth after combat, they move back to my adjusted location. It's very strange.

Hi Roane,

Yes, it's possible to change the side and shapeshift bar positions.

For the shapeshift bar, look for this block of code:

Code:

	if ShapeshiftButton1:IsShown() then
		ShapeshiftButton1:ClearAllPoints();
		ShapeshiftButton1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", anchor, "TOPLEFT", 0, anchorOffset);
		anchor = ShapeshiftButton1
		anchorOffset = 4
	end

The 3rd line of that, with :SetPoint(..etc..), defines the position. Of course, some of the other bars are anchored to the Shapeshift button, so you might have to do some messing around.

Wowwiki has a great reference for the API: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_Region_SetPoint

I've never moved the side bars, but you can probably use the MultiBarRight and MultiBarLeft objects, and set some new points.

And, finally, getting the sections back to the XP bar... well, it'll require some playing around...

I've hidden the sections through the line,

Code:

for i=1,19 do _G["MainMenuXPBarDiv"..i]:SetTexture(Empty_Art) end

If you want to restore that texture, you'll have to re-anchor the first of the sections, and then figure out how many of the divisions you need, and alter the code to only hide the remaining sections.

Is there something I can modify to move (shift vertically or horizontally) the sidebars and the shapeshift bar? Also, is there a way to show the sections on the XP bar like in the default? Neither thing is critical, obviously, but would be nice if possible.

Hi again,
Ran into an issue... when I switch specs the XP bar suddenly went back to full size and the menu buttons became unhidden and return to their normal position in the middle of the screen. Tried this twice and it happen both times. A /reloadui fixes it but thought you should know.

Is this maybe caused by the changes I made. I should load the original lua and try switching specs and see what happens. If it doesn't happen I will let you know.

Thanks,
Twidget

Hi,
I couldn't find a block of code specifically like what you posted so instead every where that I found "FadeSideBar(0)" I just changed the 0 to a 1 and that did it.

Also, for the gryphon part I assumed you wanted me to add those lines so I did and the gryphons are hidden.

Thanks! For me the mod is PERFECT now! Your AWESOME!!!

Look for this block of code:

Code:

SetMouseOverSideBars() FadeSideBar(0)

and comment it out.

If you want to hide the gryphons, set the end caps to an empty texture. (Tidy Bar includes an empty image)

Code:

MainMenuBarLeftEndCap:SetTexture(Empty_Art) MainMenuBarRightEndCap:SetTexture(Empty_Art)

Hi,
Is it possible to not hide the 2 right bars? Can I just edit the lua or something? If so could you tell me what to edit please?

Thanks,
Twidget

PS A nice added feature would be to hide the gryphons or have the option to any way...

Anyway, I fixed those two probos for 4.1. Thanks for the report!

http://i52.tinypic.com/2h3a0ps.png

Bug 2: Upon switching specs or unlearning a spec, my experience bar goes back to the default width. My rep bar stays the appropriate width though. Fixable by a /reload for now.

edit: wtf did it post my previous comment under 'hombler' -.-
