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 would assume you have to use what are now bars 1-8 in Bartender, probably even 1-5, as those correspond to the default Blizzard bars, with 6-8 being the 3 new ones added in DF.
The Class Bars and the Bonus Bar are not usually available for keybindings in the default UI.

Posted Nov 8, 2022First, I just want to say you are awesome and this is a great addon for WoW. I used it way back when and loved it and it was a staple when I came back to WoW in SL after a 10 year break.
Second, thank you so much for adding the option to edit the text for hotkeys, stacks and macros. It has made seeing those items so much easier for my old eyes.
Third, question, is there a place I can edit one of the LUA files so that all the bars have the same exact options for the hotkey, stack and macro text/font/size/position?
Again, thanks for your awesome work.

Not really, if you were to edit the addon lua files it would just get overriden on updates, which wouldn't gain you much.

Hopefully Blizzard fixes it soon. If not, I'll have to think about an alternative for DF .. which might be quite a bit of effort.

If the style of the bag bar changed, make sure to update Masque and select a skin for your Bag Bar. The Bag Bar was made skinnable once again.

Posted Nov 7, 2022I have used Bartender before but had not noticed 'class bars' before . Installed it now to test for Dragonflight and there are 4 class bars as well as action bars. My question is, do they perform a different function to the action bars ? If using as a cast bar, should I use class or action bar -- and does it matter ... ?

The Class Bars are normal action bars, but they are used on some classes for special purposes, eg. on Druids the 4 bars are used for the form-specific bars, and on Rogues the first one is used for stealth, etc.
If you are not one of those classes, you can also just use them as normal bars. If the 8 main bars are not enough that is.

Posted Nov 6, 2022Thanks for your incredible work on this addon!
I have 2 questions regarding the addition of dragon flying and how this will behave with Bartender.
1. Currently, Bartender allows showing/hiding bars based on vehicle UI and possessing. When mounting a DF mount, is this classed as a vehicle or possess or something else?
2. When mounting a DF mount, does Bar 1 behave as it would when in a vehicle or being possessed? Or is the Bonus Action Bar used?
Thanks again!

Dragon Riding will change bar 1 (if its configured for possessing), and its classed as a possess, but maybe also a vehicle. It does however not have a vehicle UI.

OK great! I have the following custom conditional for bar 1, so it should show irrespective of whether the dragonflight mount is a vehicle, possess or override:
[target=vehicle,exists]show;[overridebar]show;[possessbar]show;hide

Posted Nov 6, 2022Please add the functionality to right click an element and adjust it. This was a feature I enjoyed with Dominos and it makes Bartender feel really clunky in comparison.

Posted Nov 6, 2022Unfortantly reverting back to 4.13.2 and it did not fix it for me. I made sure to delete the old folder before reverting back. :( I will have to stop using Bartender for now until this is fixed :( so sad. I love this addon.
