I'd really like to get rid of DAB and replace it with a shiny new Ace2 bar mod (Mikma, converting it to Ace2 is easy!). Even though I tried other bar mods besides DAB, I can't stop using it as it has a couple of very nice features - these I'd like to see in Bartender:

- switch the page of a bar depending on target (if target is friendly, show healing page, otherwise show damage page)
- switch page of a bar on metakey-down and toggle it back on metakey-up
- allow same but also different keybindings for these pages
- if a bar is scaled to <1, don't scale the buttons but crop each button (aka keep them at 100%, but cut off a part of it on all sides). This dramatically increases readability of the icons
- a simple way to add scripts to show/hide buttons (I can code the script myself, but I'd perfer not to have to hack an addon but save that data somewhere else so it can be reused when updating the addon). Example: show drink button if out of combat and mana < 80%.

finally, and probably obvious: color buttons red if out of range, color them blue if not enough mana - plus a cooldown counter.

PS: to describe my current setup: one bar with 10 icons and 3 pages (friendly, enemy, buffs). The first 2 pages change automatically, keybindings are always 1-10. If I press and hold alt, page3 is shown instead. While holding alt, I can access these buttons via alt-1 - alt-10. Besides that, I have 3 floaters I'm hiding unless they are needed (e.g. the drink button, a mana pot button,...)

Any chance these features could find their way into Bartender?

Is this 1.04 different than the 1.04 on wowinterface.com?

(I don't remember the snapping bars.)

The changes from 1.04b(wowi) are *rather* nice.

Thanks.

(looking forward to being able to rotate bars. :)

Neat.

Off-topic, but which unit frames are you using? :)

Hmm, you know, I really am liking that layout you have there. I may give this a spin.

A quick q unrelated to the mod, but what is the name of the mod that makes that Fubar XP bar on the bottom edge? There's so many dratted Fubar exp mods out there, I can't find out which one it is ><.

Edit: Finally found it. It's FuXPFu, for anyone else who's curious.

Thanks Mikma, that's awesome!

Mikma, please add an alpha setting for the bars so I can finally replace Bongos.

Thank you.

If you're taking feature requests, my biggie would be button spacing! And maybe a background option? And an option to hide the binding text? I don't want to add too much, I love that these are so light weight. I find I hardly even miss DAB.

I was thinking a simple color picker / alpha for the background. The ability to have a border would be nice too, but then things get complex, like what happens to borders when bars are docked to eachother and whatnot. I can always just write a tiny mod to put borders where I want, I guess!

I've just always been bothered by the "floating UI element." Call me weird :P.

Mikma, just a quick question: which of the suggestions I made in my reply#1 found their way into Bartender, or what would be possible by adding a few lines which I could probably write myself? As I'd really like to replace DAB, I can spend some hours working on Bartender if I'd know what really needs to be done :)
