    What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

    With an option to change the Horizontal and Vertical padding (at the same time) this would allow players to be able to create new interesting bar configurations such as Arcs. With Arcs you could capture the attention of HuD users, and give players more options to configure a much much easier to work with addon like Bartender4.

    Please provide any additional information below.

    There are other action bar addons out there that use this type of configuration (I've been using Macaroon!) but it is sooooo freaking quarky to work with and I'm dying to go back to Bartender4.

    In this screenshot of my UI there is some visual aid to help demonstrate what I'm trying to suggest

    <p>Notice the action bars, thanks to H-Pad and V-Pad you can achieve an Arc formation.</p>

    Also I believe with V-Pad and H-Pad you can achieve designs that are circles.

    Thank your for you time and I hope you consider it.

    To support this type of layout, you would need to change the padding for every button individually, wouldn't you?

    Not sure how i would put that into a UI..

    Mmm to be honest I'm not sure the specifics of this format, but I know that on Macaroon! you have the option to control both V and H padding at the same time, while also having the option to control the placement of specific buttons. (Not sure if that helps the argument I'm just shooting into the dark)

    When using presets on Macaroon! (for lets say Left Arc), as you play with the different paddings, it seems like the anchor is in the center of the action bar. There are also other options that might give a clue as to how Macaroon!'s format works which is the arcs' length and start.

    I'm sorry to be comparing so much to Macaroon!, it's just the only other action bar addon I've used and would like to think that the programming would / could / should, work the same with other addons.

    I was also going to make a request for Vertical + Horizontal padding.

    I generally use a 3 x 3 grid for buttons, but without the vertical padding, they look pretty bad with my current UI.

    Im not trying to draw fancy circles or arcs, but because we are limited to the 12 bars, its very hard to make the type of layout i prefer without having control over vertical and horizontal. Currently to make a single 3 x 3 grid (using a retangular button facade), i have to use 3 different bars, all at 3 buttons max. This is the only way i know how to make the 3 x 3 fit into the area i need it.

    With V+H control, i could make a single 9 button bar, fit where i need it.
