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

Action bars 7-10

How do I page directly to action bar 7, 8, 9 or 10? It seems like there used to be a keybinding available for it, but I just don't remember.

Warrior Stance switching ?

Ok warriors have 3 stances...In Bongos I have them set up on bars 2,3 & 4 and they are all stacked upon each other. I then created a completely empty bar (bar 1). So everytime I select Battlestance, Fury and Protection switch to bar 1, therefore becoming empty and transparent. This works very well unless I am in combat. But I think I am missing how to do the stance switching properly. Any help would be appreciated.

Button Options in macros support?

First, let me say I've been using Bongos for quite some time and feel it's by far the best action bar mod available. However, I'm wanting to set up some macros with button options to save space on my action bars, for example:

/cast [button:2] Greater Blessing of Wisdom; [help] Blessing of Wisdom

To cast BoW on left-click or keybind, and GBoW on right-click. However, this type of macro will not work with Bongos, while it works with the default UI and some other bar mods (e.g. Trinity Bars).

I know this has been posted before, but this is a macro feature I would very much like to use on multiple characters, and I would really prefer to not have to switch to Trinity to use it... Trinity setup is so dodgy.

Regarding Stances

Not certain if this has been brought up before, but I've been having an issue with stance switching. The stance paging works fine when I set it, however it appears to not "remember" the paging functions. I say it that way specifically because, upon opening the stances menu, the page and page skip values are all still there as they should be, but when I swap stances the change isn't actually taking place. It is easily corrected by opening up the stances menu and re-assigning the stance pages, but that must be done upon every login which, while not particularly troublesome, is quite tedious.

I tried clearing out the SavedVar caches to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Edit to add: This only came up very recently when I broke up my bars into smaller chunks than 12 buttons. I tried going back to a 12-button-per-bar config, but the problem persisted.

Druid Stances

For Druids:

If you are trying to setup stances for CAT form and you have NOT finished aquatic form, the stance swapping will not work correctly. My cat stance would not change until I finished Aquatic form. This is not a bongos issue I do not think becuase it holds true for Bartender3 (ACE2 Bar mod) as well. FYI Druids!

I want to bind the Escape key. Is this possible? Your keybinding interface is much like Trinity, and has the same weakness. I have moved my "Open game menu" keybinding somewhere else to open up the excellently placed Escape key for an action button -- but pretty much all of the action bar mods that allow me to have 14-button bars won't let me bind the Escape key to anything, much to my frustration.

First, I'd like to say how much I love Bongos. However, one feature that used to be available pre-2.0 was Bongos Hunter which switched bars automatically when in melee range. I have the stances working for my druid, warrior, shadowpriest, but I can not find a way to set a "stance" based on range with my Hunter the way the "old" version worked. I am currently using paging which isn't nearly as quick. Is this now forbidden by the new UI changes? Any way to resolve my dilemma? Thanks in advance for any info!
That's because its not possible.

I cannot assign the "´" key to a button, it worked with older version of bongos. If i assign it, bongos will correctly display the assignment but pressing the "´" key doesn't do anything. Why?
