rActionBarStyler Version 4 features
- Complete rewrite (thus some bugs may appear, please report them. thanks!)
- All bars now movable
- All bars can be made on mouseover
- Testmode for easy configuration
- Own vehicle exit button
- Bar positions are saved to layout-cache.txt
- Added 3 textures that overwrite the default PetBarFrame and the ShapeShiftBarFrame textures with transparent ones

Intro
- Small mod to edit the positions of the default ActionBars.
- It does moving and scaling only.
- Button textures and fonts (hotkey, macroname) can be changed with "rActionButtonStyler"
- Range/Mana-Check can be done with "RedRange" from Iriel
- Cooldowns can be done with "OmniCC" from Tuller
- EXP/REP bar can be done with "jExp" from Mertex.
- Mod can only be edited by lua editing!
- You can move/scale the bars to your liking just check the lua file.

Moving
To move the bars move your mouse to the side of a bar and then rightclick your mouse and hold down the right mousebutton. Now move your mouse and drag the bar whereever you want. Its easier if you activate the testmode first. A frame is movable if it is set to movable in the config, otherwise it is not movable.

Locking
You can lock every bar. If a bar is locked it cannot be moved anymore but keeps the position you have set up, unless you set the movable variable to 0. This will delete the layout-cache entry and the default value is used.

Bar layout
Bar1 and bar2 can be of the format 2x6 buttons or 1x12 buttons. You can set this in the config.

On mouseover
Bars can be set to be visible on mouseover in the config. If you set the on mouseover variable to 0 the bar will be always visible (if it is active obiously).

Add / Disable bars
You can add / remove bars in the Blizzard interface options. (Escape -> interface options -> actionbars). You can show/hide the micro menu and the bags in the config.

Layout-cache.txt
You position data is saved in a file called layout-cache.txt. It is saved per character and can be found in the WTF folder under your character. If you want to use the setting of one character for all just copy the file from that character to all your other characters.
Important: If you upgrade rActionBarStyler to a new version with different config settings (the bar layout for example) the SetPoint from the layout-cache.txt will be used and not the default one. Thus your bars may look wierd. Its no bug, just adjust the config and/or move the bars.

Config
You can set this mod up by opening the rActionBarStyler.lua with Notepad or some editor of your liking. All the major settings can be made at the config area. Its as userfriendly as I could. To activate something write a 1 behind it (1 = on), otherwise use a 0 (0 = off).

Don't forget to reloadui after you changed and saved a setting. (/console reloadui)

PossessBar - help needed
I need help testing the PossessBar. If you can support me with Screenshots showing this bar please do. I have no clue what this bar does or how it looks like. Optimal would be a quest or encounter that is easy to reach that makes use of the Possessbar to test it.

This is what I know about the Possess Bar:

Maul asked:
On the 2.3 PTR, there is an new 'Possess Bar' which gives the user two new buttons. Is there a way we can get a list of all the possible functions the buttons will have? Currently, button #2 will cancel the buff that caused the possess bar to pop up. And I can't find any use for button #1 other than showing the icon and the tooltip of the current cast that caused the posses bar to pop up.

Slouken answered:
Thats the extent of the functionality, yes.

Currently the PossessBar is anchored to the same frame as the ShapeShiftBar because when looking at the BonusActionBarFrame.lua the PossessBar_Update function tells me that the ShapeShiftBar will be hidden if the PossessBar is shown. But I need someone to test this or tell me how I could test it in combat and out of combat.

004-6
- button layout 1x12 is default
- bar moving changed, now you need to hold down SHIFT+right click mouse

004-3
