Bongos2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.10.1
by: Tuller [More]

I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender 3


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.

Version History
A Brief Guide

Included Addons

  • Bongos2: The core addon.
  • 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
  • To bring up a bar's configuration menu, right click it

Key Bindings
  • Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos
  • To bind keys, open the main options panel, and select the bindings option. Hover over a button, then press a key to bind it to that button

Action Bar Settings
  • Accessing general action bar options: open up the main options window (/bongos menu) and select the action bars panel
  • Adjusting the layout of a given bar: unlock bars and right click the bar you want to adjust to bring up its configuration menu
  • Moving buttons: Hold down the key for moving buttons (shift by default), and drag a button. Alternatively, unlock button positions by shift right clicking the mini map button, or unchecking the option in the main options menu
  • Making a bar bigger: You can increase the maximum size of a given bar by reducing the number of action bars. To do so, adjust the action bars slider on the action bar panel of the main options menu. This option will reset the settings of your action bars

Stances and Paging
  • Stances and paging are configured via a bar's right click menu. With bars unlocked, right click the bar you want to change,

Slash Commands
  • All commands start with either /bongos, /bob, or /bgs
  • <barList> can have a possible value of an actionbar number, menu, bags, pet. class, or all
  • You can also specify a group or range of bars, the command /bo scale 1-3 class 1.2 will scale action bars 1 2 3, and the class bar to 120% of their normal size.
  • /bongos - Shows the options menu, if present
  • /bongos lock - Toggles locking bars positions
  • /bongos show <barList> - Shows <barList>
  • /bongos hide <barList> - Hides <barList>
  • /bongos toggle <barList> - Toggles <barList>
  • /bongos scale <barList> <scale> - Sets the scale of <barList> to <scale>
  • /bongos setalpha <barList> <opacity> - Sets the opacity of <barList> to <opacity>
  • /bongos set <profile> - Sets the current character to use <profile>
  • /bongos copy <profile> - Copies all settings from <profile>
  • /bongos delete <profile> - Deletes <profile>
  • /bongos reset - Loads default settings
  • /bongos version - Displays what version of bongos you're running
  • /keybound - Toggles keybinding mode

Having the same problem with the XP bar.

Thanks!
Its technically possible, but not implemented in Bongos.

One request: option to disable the castingbar border.

Thanks in advance.

I have no plans on implementing enemy casting bars, since my unit frames do that for me. Odds are, I'll be implementing an option to switch the breath/feign bars to use the casting bar style that I implemented, but I won't be providing an option to use the old style.

No, as written just a bit below, if you position your minimap too far away from the top right corner, the overlapping happens. It also happens with other mods that move the minimap, so I suspect an error in the underlying Blizzard code.
This is fixed for 2.2

The trick is to make a new profile with the minimap back at the top right corner, and switch to that profile if you need your bags making way. Since the only situation really needing you to have them move away is enchanting other peoples gear, I can live with that in exchange for my custom minimap position.

How to set to show the exp? thx

btw, bongos is the best bar i used (easy to set, looks clear, especially the key)
The way to do it is to simply uncheck whatever reputation you're watching in the reputation portion of the character panel.

I am using Bongos2 v1.7.3 and have a problems with paladin auras, not sure if it a problem with the wow interface or Bongos. The problem occurs if I get a new aura or lose one, like if you respec and take or drop Sanctity Aura, but also when you level up and gain a new aura for the first time.

What happens is if you gain a new aura, trying to activate it will just activate one of your old ones. An example would be when you spec Sanctity Aura, trying to activate it will just activate Crusader Aura. When you then unlearn your talents and lose Sanctity Aura, you still have 8 auras like before and both the 7th and 8th will activate Crusader Aura.

All this can easily be fixed by a simple /reloadui though, but I still wanted to mention it.

I believe this means another of your addons is showing the default castbar. Turn off all your other addons appart from bongos and see if it works.
I switched to Bongos from WoW UI and in the regular stock UI when i went into stealth mode the action bar would do an automatic switch to another bar with all my stealth abilities. How do i set up Bongos to do the same thing so i am not having to hit a hot key to switch actionbars?
Right click on the bar that you want to change when you stealth then select stances and you should be able to manage from there.
Just updated to the most recent version - with the old one, the minimap button appeared on my Fubar; in this version, there doesn't seem to be a way to make that happen.

Am I missing something?
Bongos doesn't come with a FuBar plugin but there if a FuBar plugin out there for it. You should be able to find it on WoWace in the SVN (a.k.a WoWAceUpdater or in the zips catorgory on the website.
