by: Monolit [More]

m_ActionBars or monoActionBars

  • IMPORTANT: if you update to version 4.x from 3.x and older, you must update cfg.lua because it was redesigned.

About
  • Originally inspired by zork's amazing work with rActionBarStyler and rActionButtonStyler.
  • m_ActionBars is a very flexible lightweight add-on that handles your action bars.
  • This add-on is making use of default blizzard's action bars
  • This add-on aimed mainly for people with at least some experience in using lua-configured add-ons as all settings located in cfg.lua.

Key features
  • no GUI;
  • allows user to use up to 6 action bars (5 default + 1 extra action bar);
  • removes all the default action bars textures;
  • supports vehicle, totem, pet, stance and shapeshift bars;
  • built in totem timers functionality and ability to remove totems by right-clicking them;
  • custom exit vehicle button position;
  • styles action buttons' borders;
  • out of range/mana coloring;
  • allows player to choose the orientation and amount of rows for each bar;
  • grants the ability to set custom position, size and spacing between the buttons;
  • allows user to set number of visible buttons for each bar;
  • the ButtonsStyler module allows to hide/show hotkeys, macro names, item count numbers, and also to set custom font for each of those text fields.
  • key-bindings shortcuts;
  • built in HoverBind functionality (/kb to enter bindings mode) that also works directly from spell book and macros menu;
  • supports MicroMenu bar;
  • option to show bars only in combat;
  • 2 special bars for raid marks and world marker flares;
  • option to control bars' opacity;

I'm not having this problem for the bottom left bar, only the mainbar holder.
Good point, thx for the report, will get this fixed with the next update.

found an odd issue today, when you leave vehicle on the plants vs zombies quest (before quest is done)
the line texture thats the background to the default reputation/experience bar appears and doesnt dissappear untill you /reload, doesnt seem to happen in other vehicles

EDIT, seems to be fixed if you parent the MainMenuBar and BonusActionBar to the mainbar holder rather than to MainMenuBar at line 97 in Actionbar.lua

Is there anyway to delete the automatic paging when stance changing (ie the stealth bar that takes over your main bar) AS WELL AS maintaining the fact that the main bar will act as a possess bar?

Great Addon, very light weight.

Well, I didn't want to put it up until it's actually stable and most features function as they should. Remember, some UI parts are still not available for authors and some just got enabled in the latest beta build, however I'm pretty happy with my UI set for beta right now and even though some features are still missing it is stable and ready for use.
So in next 1-2 days you can expect to see it in Cataclysm download section on wowinterface.

Just a suggestion. If you're using cfg.lua (loving it, btw), could you include a "cfg-sample.lua" into archives instead of a cfg.lua? That way configs aren't getting overwritten every time the addon is updated.
