I asked on the ElvUI forums if it was possible to have actionbars be mouseover but always show in combat, ect. but got no answers.

Just use the Fade option in Bartender and this conditional to make your UI element show on pressing control (and of course mouseover):

[mod:ctrl]show;fade

I believe the above poster's code can be similar to (I dont think the @ symbol is needed):

[@target,exists]show;[combat]show;[mouseover]show;hide

Thanks

Depends on how much time you want to waste configuring your addons. Wowinterface, Curse and other similar addon sites offer a variety of addons, go there and either search by addon packages or by class. If you want a premade ui, Elvui/Tukui are a total ui replacement, have many functions and can be configured within few steps. Just keep in mind to not ''overdo'' it, find the one you feel is the most suitable for your playstyle and stick with it.

Unfortunately that did not work either :\
I wish ElvUI allowed you to make actionbars behave the same way as the unitframes are able to

**Treeston** · 2012-12-20, 10:14 PM

If I understood this correctly:

Code:

[combat][bonusbar:5][@vehicle,exists]show;fade

Solution: ditch ElvUI

But... but... I only just made "the big change" to ElvUI! I can't go back yet! :P

Ok i'm looking for a mod to change character names in chat. SO say one guildy would be purple another white and so on. I could REALLY use one like this and pretty sure one at least used to exist but i cannot find it...So yeah.

Both these do not work. They do work in the sense that they show in combat, but will not show on mouseover OOC.
I'm gonna bump my post on the ElvUI forums and see if there is a way!

Hi, ive been looking for it some time now, but i dont really know what to look for (makes sense ikr)..
So search tool didnt gave my what i needed.

Im basicly looking for an addon / way to move the standard "energy or power bar" that you get from lets say Stone guards / ambershaper / that counter you get in stormstout brewery. Anyone knows what i might be after? Much appreciated

MoveAnything can move that bar and pretty much everything in a UI.

Is there a working itemlvl addon, which doesnt consume 75% of my CPU-power and RAM?
I want to see the itemlvl of the people I 5-man/raid with.

Thx in advance

**Jules** · 2012-12-21, 10:16 AM

regarding stuf, stuf raid specifically.

how do I enter the test environment like with the normal frames? I can make it show the anchors and thus the size of the frames, but I can't find test environment to play with the style

thanks in advance !

What is a good cd addon that i can track only cds with a cd thats 1.5 or longer? Pref one that doesnt put all my cds on a single sliding bar.

Still no answers from the other forums /sigh (sometimes those forums can be painful and no help at all)
All that i've been able to find that will work is adding

Code:

[modifier:ctrl] show; hide

at the end of your string.

example mine will show in vehicle, combat and hides all other times except if i press ctrl ("simulating" mouseover except with a button press instead of an actual mouseover)

Code:

[petbattle] hide; show [vehicleui] hide [combat] show [modifier:ctrl] show; hide

Is there an addon that only has customizable bossframes?
Currently using Stuf and tweaked those which im comfortable with, but they dont have bossframes as far as I know.

Stuf has boss frames. Scroll down to Boss 1-5. All edits done to Boss 1 apply to all 5 frames. Also to see them to possition/see changes toggle on "config mode" and make sure you select "Disable default boss frames" in the global options so it uses Stuf's.

**zecxx** · 2012-12-22, 01:00 PM

I didnt check "disable default boss frames", thats why I didnt see them. Thanks!

**Jules** · 2012-12-22, 03:14 PM
