I guess my problem is that my numpad layout uses only 12 buttons total, but in order for them to be placed into a single grid, that grid would have to measure 4x5. Bongos appears to have a 12-button-per-bar limit, I just can't figure out if it would consider my layout a 20-button bar (4x5) or if, through the single-button-rearrangement thing that Golem's talking about, I can trick it into treating that whole mess as just one bar.
Hmm not sure to be honest though Ill mess with it tonight and post the results. Everything I know about bongos is just from me doing trial and error.
Oh, don't bother. I'll have time to find out for myself tonight and I've already taken up way too much space in this thread. Hopefully I'll find something I like and will then be able to make more intelligent posts here; as it is I'm bored at work and dreaming up ways to make my new UI work. It's sad; I have graph paper and everything at my desk.
Next topic: What's a good mod that will make the chat windows a little more custom-UI-friendly? I'd like to be able to hide the buttons on the left, hide the tabs, make it a little more compact, and maybe have some more options as far as text display. You know, something more rectangular that will more gracefully snap in to a custom UI. Any suggestions?
Ooh ooh... also, any mods that will do the same thing for the minimap? I know I've seen custom UIs where the minimap was just a square that was blended seamlessly into the 'dashboard'.

Open Bongos, go to ActionBars, reduce the number of bars to 6. That'll allow bars with up to 20 buttons.

I'm like Al Pacino in the Godfather Part III with this Bongos stuff. Just when I think I'm done thinking about it, you fuckers keep pulling me back in.
So, of all the posts here, this is the first one saying you can get more than 12 buttons per bar. That's great if it's true, but say I need more than 6 bars: several small ones and 1 huge one. Can I slide the "number of bars" down to 6, create my big bar, then slide it back up to 10 or whatever to create the others?
If so, that's nice, but still retarded. This is what I was talking about when I was saying that Bongos isn't as straightforward to set up as Nurfed was.

As far as I can tell, no. Bongos always allocates (120/bars) buttons per bar. Hiding them does not allow you to shift them to other bars, and if (for example) you split off three buttons of Bar 1 and place them next to Bar 2, they'll still change pages when changing Bar 1.
It's a little dumb, but it's also probably an assload easier to code than something like Nurfed or Discord was.
What I haven't figured out about Bongos is how you set different bars to change pages independantly, so that, for instance, I can change my spell bar without changing pages on my trinket bar.
I am in desperate need of an addon for Paladin Blessings. None of the addon sites seem to be up so if someone happens to have Greater Blessings for 2.0 and can link me a download I will love you forever!
I could use some advice for those more familiar with these kind of bar mods.
I want one that allows me to move around the buttons, resize, etc... but I am only going to do it on a limited basis. I tried Bartender3 but it got rid of the standard action bars and I want them to stay. I just want to create small clusters of little buttons for hunter tracking, or warlock summons, that sort of thing.

WTB a commentary track on that UI. I particularly like the rectangular minimap and chat windows. How much of that is Bartender and how much is other things?
Not supposed to be a public link, so don't hammer it because it might get taken down. Perhaps somebody could mirror it?
Yes. Yes. FUCKING YES!
I thought it would be awhile before he got around to updating. Those Unit Frames look brilliant.
Too bad I cant grab it at work. Plus Curse is still being hammered to all hell.

So before I put my own UI into active service, I need two things:
1) There was a mod which placed the text entry box higher up on, say, your general chat window. This allowed you to actually see what you were typing whenever you had your chat positioned in the corner or along the bottom of the screen. I'll need that.
2) I can't shrink the combat log enough to make up for the dead space on the right side of my screen. I'd like to find a way to make it sit flush against the edge so I don't wind up with this column of nothing here, but I'm not certain if such a thing exists.
That little circle at the bottom right is Necrosis, right? Anyone know if there is an equivalent for other classes. I would love to have a totem mod that had them all in some hot circle action.

Take a look at Saeris' Totem Grid.
Gives you a little button that you click and then there is a 4 column menu for all the various kinds. It would clean up your screen significantly.
His website is in his sig and he is saying most of his stuff will be 2.0 on or after Friday.
You!!! Host your Necrosis, none of the sites seem to work at all when I try to get new addons. Myself and the other warlocks in my guild are looking for it.
Also if someone has the link to Holy Hope, its the paladin version of Necrosis, I could use that as well.
Will this thing shift bars when I shape shift? Disappear when in travel forms?
Etc...
This shall be tonight's project depending on your answer.
It took me damn near 3 hours to pull it together in DAB. What say you, fellas?
Yea its there. There is a stance option. For my rogue it automatically bound Action Bar 7 as my Stealth bar. I hid it. When I go stealth though it replaces my Action Bar 1 with Action Bar 7.
Yeah, but you can never have more than 12 buttons to a bar, no matter how your other bars are set up. 10 bars isn't some universal truth; it's an arbitrary number. Why not be able to make 5 bars with 24 buttons? After all, it lets you do 120 bars with 1 button each, which is of course useless.
Then you're doing something wrong since I have an 18-button main bar.
Yeah, that was addressed and it turns out that you have to decrease the total number of bars so Bongos thinks you have more buttons to distribute among each bar.
[spoiler:27c394e265]This is stupid and unnecessary[/spoiler:27c394e265]
I'm trying really hard to like Bongos here but it's not working the way I need it to. Golem keeps talking about numbers on empty buttons on bars that can be either blue or orange, and you click them and drag them to pull them off the bar, and I just don't see what "numbers" he's talking about. For those who know how to manually arrange buttons within a bar in Bongos, can you help me out? I'm starting to get really irritated.
hey deadly, you have a semi transparent black box behind your actionbars. what is that? i've been looking through all the mods and cant find a way to remove it.
Also if someone has the link to Holy Hope, its the paladin version of Necrosis, I could use that as well.
I'm hot to trot to find a new Holy Hope as well. Saved a ton of space on my toolbars for seals/blessings. I don't think the author still keeps up with it, though, and I'm not really interested in Pally Power.
1) There was a mod which placed the text entry box higher up on, say, your general chat window. This allowed you to actually see what you were typing whenever you had your chat positioned in the corner or along the bottom of the screen. I'll need that.
You'll want to check out a mod called Prat available here. It'll place the editbox along the top edge of the chat window instead of the bottom and has a ton of other nifty features that allow you to place timestamps, channel name abbreviations, etc. all over the place.
I just got a hold of Prat, but it won't load. Every time I log in, it kicks off with an error message about Prat not finding "library 'AceHook-2.1'", though I have what I'm pretty sure is the latest version of Ace installed. Anyone have this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Also, with the new AutoBar, I can't seem to get my hotkeys going. I mapped "Y" to AutoBar button #7, it even shows up on the icon itself, but hitting the key gets me nowhere.
Another thing with AutoBar is that it seems not to want to hide the little circular anchor thingy. I assume this is what is supposed to happen when you check "Hide drag handle", but I can't get rid of that dot. Ideas?
Ok I am using PHOTEK's new wonder pack - but I have one problem:
How do I get the raid names to show up without using CT_Raid or Blizz's built in raid options. I can display my own group - but cant display the raid no matter what I do unless I pull it out through (c) Social - and I cant edit that one to match what I have through /aguf. . .

Here, if you haven't found it elsewhere. It doesn't crash my WoW like previous betas, but the menu buttons extend whenever a fight starts. I have no idea why, it didn't happen after a fresh install and now it always happens

I need a list of all your mods. Specifically the chat mods, font mod, map mod.
It's the new Photek, with a couple of modifications. It's very provisionally hosted:

You'd think it would block your view of the screen that massive bulk that it is.

This is roughly a billion times better looking than my old UI. In the bottom left, those 12 buttons switch with my form/prowl. It's much nicer.
Still some things I'd like, such as Titanbar.
