I have been using Dominos for quite a while, but only for the purpose of hiding the main action bar. I play using key-bindings, using LibKeyBoundExtra, and have no use for the main action bar. I recently have tried several methods, such as macros or adding a script such as "/script MainMenuBar:Hide()" to an addon I already use, with no success. Either it won't work, or the action bar will come back whenever the UI reloads or I switch areas. Is there any startup script file in WarCraft I can add that line to in order to never show the action bar? Or is there a lightweight addon that just hides the main action bar? While I feel Dominos is a great action bar mod (the one I always used to use), I feel there has to be a better way to get rid of your bar.

This post led me to:

/script CreateFrame("Frame","HMB") HMB:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") HMB:SetScript("OnEvent",function() MainMenuBar:Hide() end)

It's a macro you hit once on startup.

Or you can add the following to your addon:

CreateFrame("Frame","HMB")
HMB:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
HMB:SetScript("OnEvent",function()
  MainMenuBar:Hide()
end)

MainMenuBar:ClearAllPoints()
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOM", UIParent, "BOTTOM", -1000, 0)

^ can be placed at the top of any addon's Lua file, and will effectively hide the main bar from view by moving 1000 units (they're not pixels!) below the bottom of the screen.

Also, when adding code to a Lua file, you do not prefix it with "/script". Doing so will generate errors and cause everything after that point in the Lua file to not work.
