RELEASE!
Bartender2 v2.0.11397 has been uploaded to curse, worldofwar, and wowi!
Bartender2 is an AddOn to move Blizzards default buttons. It has several frames which can be moved around screen and locked into the place you wan't. There is also a feature to hide the frames you don't need.
just to keep my image available somewhere - thats what'd love to see:
(semi-transparent borders, trimmed icons)
Would love to see bartender like this or even with out the transparent boarders + trimmed icons. (I really like the look of idActionbars because of this).
- 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
ReactionBar will do these things, and it's compatible with Bartender2 since B2 uses the default buttons. I've been using RB with CardBars for a while now.
One feature I'm looking forward to seeing in Bartender is CardBars' autohide feature, particularly on the pet bar, shapeshift bar, and microbar. It will be lovely to switch to these.
EDIT :: I just spotted the line about Metrognome/Autohiding in the other thread ... shutting up now, and looking forward to it ...
OttoDeFe: Sounds like Database problem between updates? Look for instructions down there...
Oh and information to all! Since i'm updating the SVN version of Bartender2 all the time, you might wan't to delete your SavedVariables between updates! This can be done in 3 different ways:
1) /script BarDB = nil
2) /script Bartender:ResetBarDB() , OR, with new versions /script Bartender:ResetALL()
3) find your Bartender2.lua in "World of Warcraft\WTF\Accoung\YOURACCOUNT\Server\Character\SavedVariables" and delete it.
Number 1 is the one i recommend. But remember that you will lose all your settings. I will let you know when there's no need to reset the database anymore. It's only 1 reset after that into new Database and then it's all good from that point on.
Kyahx was also so kind that he made a CustomDefaults.lua file in Bartender, which can hold a different layout than the default is. This means Bartender2 can also be used in UI-Compilations to have a different layout people wan't! Kyahx is making a XArt layout atm and he will be adding it to Bartender SVN when it's done :) It's disabled by default, but is rather easy to edit working.
I also committed a new version of Bartender2 in SVN moments ago. I changed the way the Padding, Scaling, and Alpha are acting. They can't be used anymore to reset the defaults by leaving the value2 out. I will add another functions for Reseting things :)
not really a bug, just a general annoyance in case a patch ever breaks Bartender (Prays it doesn't)...Bar4 and 5 are upside down from the way that Blizzard and the first Bartender had them :) Just a little fyi
Tried Bartender2 on Hyjal - no issues - absolutely brilliant.
Tried Bartender2 on Thorium Brotherhood - Bar 2 - 5 have no active buttons.
Could it be a bug with realms with 2 words in their names?
I'm on Hyjal and I'm getting this issue. Did a clean install just now (revision 7144) and deleted my saved variables file, yet the problem persists.
Guys go into interface and and check if ur right actionbar and those are ticket if not try to tick them and see if that helps, i had the same problems last night and it fixed it by doing that.
Mikma:
Will there be a range check included fx. i want to shoot my bow but aint in range the button grays out or turn red whichever is nice?

Here's some misc. screenshots I have from Bartender2 or the modules:

(semi-transparent borders, trimmed icons)
Mikma, when, oh when, will you add in an Alpha setting feature?
:(
Bars 2+ don't seem to scale, or show for that matter. Have buttons on Bar 3 and if'n I Lock(), the green bar disappears and no buttons there.
This thing is gonna be SO sweet. Love Bartender 1.04, drooling for Bartender2.
Well that's not that hard to add actually, i might do it later today :)
But it will affect the whole bar then.
Would love to see bartender like this or even with out the transparent boarders + trimmed icons. (I really like the look of idActionbars because of this).
/script Bartender:Alpha(Bar1,value) (Bar1-10 and 0-1 as value, ie. Bar1,0.5 = 50% transparent Bar1)
/script Bartender:HideBorder()
/script Bartender:ShowBorder()
The last 2 commands toggle the border on and off. Toggling it off makes it look like idActionBars.
ReactionBar will do these things, and it's compatible with Bartender2 since B2 uses the default buttons. I've been using RB with CardBars for a while now.

/script Bartender:HideHK(Bar1) -- This is Bar1-5 and Bar10
/script Bartender:ShowHK(Bar1) -- This is Bar1-5 and Bar10
omg your awesome!

Bartender uses the default blizz buttons so that works just fine.

Forget the basics sometimes... *blush*
