FAQ
Q: I cannot move/drag my skills on my bars?
A: Hold Shift to move skills safely. You can also unlock your bars in the Bartender4 options, but using Shift is safer and recommended.
Q: How do i access the Configuration?
A: You can open the configuration with the Slash Commands (/bt or /bartender) or through the Bartender4 LDB plugin.
Q: Where are my keybindings? And how do i bind new keys?
A: Bartender4 buttons should automatically inherit keybindings from the Blizzard bars. For new keybindings, you can use KeyBound to re-bind your keys. You can access KeyBound by its slash command (/kb) or through the button in the BT4 config. Hover a button, press key → voila!
Q: Can I skin the buttons beyond the built-in options?
A: Bartender4 allows skinning through Masque! After installing both Bartender4 and Masque, you can customize the BT4 appearance in the Masque options.
Q: How do i disable the snapping of the bars?
A: Currently, you can temporarily override the snapping by holding down the Shift Key while moving your bars, or uncheck the option in the popup when your bars are unlocked.

Posted Feb 3, 2012Visibility and druid forms:
When I am in cat spec and set the visibility of bars to hide when in flight form and then change the spec to balance and go in moonkin form the visibility for flight form is now turned to on and the visibility in moonkin form is set to off. Same thing for keybinds, in cat form I have swift flight form stance keybound to a key, when I change spec the moonkin form now has that keybind.
Probably something with indexing variables instead of using the actual stance form as the moonkin option is not available in the visibility settings if you are not specced for it.

Posted Feb 3, 2012In the past week I've begun to have a problem with bartender's keybindings. It's no longer differentiating between the = on my number strip on top of my keyboard and the = on my number pad. I've never had a problem in the past and I've always used them as independently bound functions. Why are they now linked and can I brek them up somehow?
Thanks,
~Kut

Posted Feb 2, 2012I love Bartender - I have been using it for years on all of my many characters and have never had any problems with it.
I noticed today when I switched into my rarely used Arms spec on my warrior that two bars appear to be linked: when I move a button off of or onto one bar it is changed in the same way on the other bar. These two bars are bar 1 and bar 7 and I couldn't find any settings unique to bar 7 that could cause this. I've never experienced this problem before and it is not a problem on the same character in a different spec. The only thing I have changed today is that I have copied a profile from one toon to this one to try to streamline my action bars so they look the same across all of my characters. I don't use this spec very often so I'm not sure how long the problem has existed but this is the only change that I have made today, after which I noticed the problem.

Posted Feb 2, 2012I know this doesn't fix the underlying issue, but some unit frame addons include an experience bar that you can turn on. The one I use is Shadowed Unit Frames, which can be found here on Curse. If nothing else it would be a temporary fix just so you can track whether or not you're "in the blue" and you might end up liking that addon as well.

Posted Feb 1, 2012I use Bartender4 for 8 different toons I have. It works fine on all but one. For this one toon everything is fine except the XP bar doesn't display. I've reset that bar to defaults (center horiz, center vert) but still nothing. It's not critical but I sure like having it to keep me in "blue".

Posted Jan 30, 2012I'm having an issue with bartenders paging via modifier capabilities. I have two bars, one is set to page when I hold shift, the other is set to page when I hold control or alt. The shift bar is fine, it uses regular 1-= keys. However, the other bar (ctrl/alt) doesn't work properly. It pages when I hold the respective modifier, but I'm unable to use any of the buttons, I can see them just fine but hitting the key does nothing. The buttons on that bar are bound to my number pad, which I control with the buttons on the side of my Razer Naga. I don't know if this issue has existed for a while, because I just started using it today while redoing my bars. It would be very much appreciated if I could get some help, thank you!
Btw, using the Naga buttons on the second bar works fine when I'm not holding a modifier key, but the abilities on the other two bars that show up when I page it are useless.

Posted Feb 2, 2012Are you sure you have tooltips turned on? There is an option within Bartender to turn it on or off, but I believe the default is on. There may also be a Blizzard interface option to turn tooltips off or on.

Posted Jan 30, 2012Is there a way to allow spells on the bars to show the tooltips that it normally would?
Thanks, Kenny.

Posted Jan 28, 2012I'm having a problem with the addon, I've been using it for a while and I had my bars all set up, but lately I've needed more bar space so I enabled a bar that has been inactive, and put it where I wanted it, but when I hold shift to move a spell to it, it doesn't highlight it and won't let me put a spell there. When I open up the interface where I can move bars around it shows that the bar is there.
I only have enabled checked on my new bar that isn't working, nothing is checked on visibility or state configuration. It's exactly the same as my bars that are working.

Posted Jan 28, 2012Why do my butttons randomly light up with a yellow border? I'm not talking about active skills like Hammer of Wrath, but normal spells, such as Holy Light in this screenshot.

Posted Jan 25, 2012I love this addon. Been using it since forever.
I actually have an input on this wonderfull addon.
There is an "Out of range indicator", by standard it colors the button red, and there is an "Out of mana indicator" which by standard colors the button blue.
I think there ought to be an option to indicate wether the spell is still on CD. The function now, as it is is a sort of radar-thing that sort of lightens the button up in in a clockwise rotation untill the button is fully lit up, and then, it is avaliable.
This works fine with global cd's and things with very little CD, However when descerning wether a spell with 2 min CD is avaliable or not, is a matter of mashing the button on trial and error, to see wether it's still on CD or not. The darkened area is extremely hard to see when there's a few seconds remaining untill the spell comes avaliable. An option to have a spell that is still on CD could have the actionbarbutton colored similar to the "out of mana" and "out of range".
I hope I'll be seing this in future versions.
Again, thanks for an absolutley amazing addon.

Posted Jan 24, 2012I think I just found it, its under an addon called AutoBar it seems. Type /autobar config to move it. Personally I don't see why they've seperated the two but oh well.

Posted Feb 9, 2012they've always been separated as AutoBar has always been a different mod. AutoBar adds buttons to itself by scanning your spells/inventory and finding matches against its' databases, where as Bartender is just a replacement for your standard action buttons. AutoBar creates its own buttons, where as Bartender uses the existing Blizzard buttons (including the hidden ones used only for stances/forms)
