1222 - Link fade of multiple action bars
What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
I have 3 actionbars above each other. I'd like to be able to set it up so that when I hover over any of them, they all fade in, and once I'm no longer hovering over any of them they all fade out.
Please provide any additional information below.

Of course, then I started to think about how you could expand this to other things (state perhaps), and then things get more complicated.
BartenderAdvanced sounds even better; not having to bother with multiple bars that have to behave the same would be preferable. Is this something you ever seriously started on? As in, is there code I could play around with?

Maybe I should finish BartenderAdvanced one day, which would let you create one giant bar with all 36 action buttons of those 3 bars, which would of course fade as one then.
