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.

I also have this problem. Even with all bars enabled in the menu, the vehicle button does not show up. This prevents my warrior from jumping to skyhold among other things. Anyone know a fix or configuration to correct this?

Greetings

No problems to report, only a suggestion:
can we get an option for vertical XP/Reputation/Artifact bars?

Thank you :)

Hi!

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the color of the fill for the Artifact progress bar? I'm pretty comfortable editing the LUA if I just have to drop in a color hex code or something, if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Matt

For some reason this works fine on one computer but on the other I cannot bring up the Options Menu AT ALL. I've tried /bartender and /bt but when I press Enter nothing happens -- the text remains in the window where I typed it and no menu appears. And right-clicking the icon by my mini map doesn't do anything at all. LEFT-clicking works to make things moveable but that doesn't help much if I cannot resize and rearrange things the way I like them.

Anyone have a fix for this?

EDIT: After some serious disabling and re-enabling of mods it seems like the problem was a conflict with an old one I didn't even know I had, ElvUI. Turned that off and the options menu can appear again.

I have to disable Bartender to be able to see the button that lets me jump to Skyhold, I ran into the same problem during my questing, had to logout, disable Bartender, Login, complete quest, logout enable Bartender and then login and go my merry way till I have to go through the same thing later. I love Bartender 4 and I hope you can fix this.

This happens to me too. Any time I need to use the Extra Action Button I need to turn off bartender, do my quest, turn it back on. I have the button itself enabled in Bartender, however it won't show up.

Alright, so i'm having the issue that when i'm moving everything but the normal bars (ie, extra action, micro menu, pet) they are snapping to the right, even if i put them say in the middle of the screen. How the HELL do i make that stop?

This has just started happening to me as well. I managed to re-install Spartan and bartender 4 and I got back half the bars so thought I would try it again. It's gone back to no bars at all.

How do I get the EXP Bar, REP Bar and Artifact Power Bar to all show up at the same time. Right now I just get the EXP Bar and Artifact Power bar. I can not seem to get the Rep bar to show up? No matter what I do in the options.

I've used this add-on since the day it was made and always have it updated.

Yep, same here:

My "reputation bar" doesnt show any more after I've gotten my artifact weapon and only the XP and Artefact bars are displayed. I can't seem to get the REP bar to show anymore.

When I go to a toon that hasnt got the weapon, then the REP bar displays, even though I'm using the same profile for the two characters.

Why does KeyBound keep being included in this add-on pack, if it doesn't work?

Is it the add-on from this site? Because it hasn't been updated since 2014...
