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 Oct 26, 2022Would you please consider making a preset "Modern Art, Pre-DF interface"? Basically position everything the way it was before prepatch came out (especially the action bars), but keep the new artwork?

Sure, I just want old positions, I don't care about artwork tbh. Currently there are only presets for Classic positions, Modern positions and custom stacks. There's none for pre-DF, which is the one that many people want. ^^

Isn't that basically the same layout, just with smaller buttons? I forget how exactly the SL layout looked, as I've been running my own all these years.

It is also shifted. Action bar 1 (and bar 2 that's stacked on bar 1) is shifted to the left and the action bar 3 is set to use 2 rows of 6 icons and is placed to the right, so the combined bars are centered as a whole. The bags and system icons are moved to the bottom right corner of the screen. My pre-DF screenshot shows this, more or less. The icons on the right on my screenshot are slightly shifted downwards with MoveAnything, but they never really changed aside from becoming smaller, afaik.

EDIT:
I've configured Bartender to more or less position the modern icons in this old way, together with the bottom right icons being bigger. I can send you the settings if you want, just let me know what's the best way to export them.

Not right now, but I might introduce a new option in the future. The reason it shrunk is because Blizzard changed the template for action buttons to be larger - but if you don't increase the size of your Bartender buttons, that means everything else just gets smaller.

Hello. So there is currently no way to make the bars look like before - see the screens: https://postimg.cc/gallery/xk0QVVM
Meaning the design + the font scale and position?
Ty :)

Posted Oct 26, 2022I don't seem to be able to move my Status Tracking Bar (XP Bar).
I can enable the bar, unlock it so it has the green moveable bar, move the bar around the screen.
But when I lock the bars again the XP Bar has not moved, it's stick bottom left of my screen.
I have even moved the green moveable bar to the top of my screen but again when I click lock the XP bar is still bottom left.
All the other bars have moved ok and stay where I want them.
I had no probs before the update of game and addon this morning.

Apparently other addons are interfering with that, one that was mentioned was Titan Panel. I'll be looking into this in the coming days.

Can confirm - I just saw this comment and disabled Titan Panel. When I logged back in the reputation bar was back where I want it to be.

Yea, I just turned off Titan Panel that I have at the very top of my UI and the XP Bar jumped into place.
Thank you for looking into it.

Spotted a Titan Panel update this morning before jumping into the game.
When I logged on and got in the game I turned Titan Panel back on in UI and the XP Bar stayed put, never moved.
So happy.
