Pick for 6/1: Oldies but Goodies

This week in Pick of the Week, we're going to take a look at some old addons instead of new/updated ones. Some addons just plain work and don't need to be touched for ages. Two of the below have actually been updated recently, but they hadn't been for a long while before that, and you likely won't see them touched again for at least a few patches.

Want dependable addons? See below.

Note: besides the two that were touched recently, you will need to check "Load Out of Date Addons" in the addon selection screen.



Align:

Are you obsessive compulsive about the placement of your UI elements? Perfectionist? Anal? Want to make sure things are the same size? Want things centered? All of the above? Well, Align can help you with that. What it does is place a grid (you can make the grid as large/small as you wish) over your screen to help you line things up. It's a favorite of all pro UI designers and perfectionists.

Bookworm:

Are you a collector? Do you like to find everything in a game? Love the game's lore? Are you a ... bookworm? This addon keeps track of everything you have read in the game and helps you remember where you found it. Books, letters, plaques, you name it.

ChatBar:

ChatBar has been around for a long time, and the last time it was updated was December 2006! But it still works. It provides a little bar of buttons for the different chat types/channels you are in. Clicking a button will open the edit box, ready to send a message to that channel.

ElectrofluxTextronator:

Electro-huh?... This addon vies for the "best name ever" award. It is similar to SunnArt and X-Art in that it places a graphic at the bottom of your screen to place chat/buttons/etc in. Viewport and texture selection are configurable. There's even a plugin with another texture, and you can use your own. NOTE: If you get an error regarding an Ace Library, then download and install Ace2. This addon is also no longer maintained, unlike the others, whose authors are still around.



Elkano's FramesResized:

Wish you could see more in your tradeskill list? Or trainer list? Quest log? Loot frame even? Then try out this addon. FramesResized is the other addon in this list that was touched recently. The last update it received before that was over a year ago. And, according to its author, it shouldn't need to see an update again for a long time.

PriorityMail and ExpressMail:

PriorityMail aids with the sending side, and ExpressMail deals with the receiving end. Remember last recipient, shift-click to take items, alt-click to auto-send attachments, etc. ExpressMail was created (and last updated) back in December '06. PriorityMail was made to complement it a few months after, and has seen a couple of updates since. These also go well with BetterInbox, which I picked for the week of 5/18.

Spellbinder:

Want to play with lots of keybinds, but don't want to put those abilities/macros on bars? Then check out SpellBinder. It lets you keybind directly to your spellbook, a macro, an item, etc. Finally, you can get the minimal UI you always wanted.

Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses

Do you freak out when you lose control of your character? Hate seeing your character run around like a chicken with its head cut off when you get feared? Do you really want to be blind when you get blinded? Then you should check out Zaphod Beeblebrox's favorite sunglasses! They are "designed to help you develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black thus preventing the wearer from seeing anything that might alarm them."
