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 question/issue. Some of the abilities show up on Class Bar 1 and some showed up on Bar 1. I don't think Blizzard knows what they are doing.

Posted Nov 20, 2022I also cannot use roll-outs, such as mage portals, hunter call-pet, or rogue apply-poissons when set to a button. Clicking on the button does nothing -- very irritating (and I blame Blizz!). Otherwise, great and needed addon

This should now be fixed by having an entirely custom flyout independent of the Blizzard function.

Posted Nov 19, 2022This is a great add on. I wasn't able to play at all thanks to the new ui killing my mind and stressing me out. but b4 has a classic preset that is similar. the only downside is for some bizare reason they made it microscopic and tiny, unfortunately it looks like it will take a lot of tweaking to make it decently big enough to be realistic. since everything has to be moved individually. 6/10. just happy to have somewhat of a normal ui again !

Posted Nov 18, 2022Great addon. One question: is there a way to style / configure multiple bars at the same time? Or "copy" a bar configuration to another?
I'm doing some detailed UI config this time around and having to manually repeat configurations over 8 bars is nuts hehe.
Thanks!

Posted Nov 18, 2022I am having issues with the combo|slide buttons. When I go to either my hunter [pet utility|Pet select] or rogue [poisons]. I get an LUA error and the button does not work as intended. Is any else having this issue?

Posted Nov 16, 2022It's astonishing how blizzard not only didn't changed the spell flyout orientation handling but managed to break even more things this time around

Posted Nov 16, 2022BT4 doesn't play nice with empowered spells. If I disable BT4 they act like they should but with BT4 I have to click to start click to end.
