Action bar add-on request

[Rentak]

I'd love an add-on that hid all the graphics on the action bars and allowed you to reshape them into four across and three down or whatever configuration you desired.

Is this even possible or are the action bars protected?

I don't believe we quite have access to the UI in that way yet. I don't even think we can create buttons that produce an action as in a special attack or spell. I might be wrong though. I'm just an amateur programmer. I know that when we do I will be making something for my Razer mouse to match the button grid on it.

The API does not let us manipulate the default UI in ANY WAY, so we are unable to change the action bars.

We are also unable to recreate the action bars' functionality with the current API.

Ah, that's what I thought but I just wanted confirmation from people that know what they're talking about.

*sigh* my nostromo and razer are still not matched then.

Just a convenience I suppose not a necessity.

Thanks for the response guys.

Since it's been a few months I thought I would see if this is possible yet? I have a Nostromo and would love an action bar that actually fit it, if it was possible.

Your original addon request is still not possible.

Maybe, once the devs open up keybindings and what-not to the addon API, an imitiation of RIFT's action bars can be created, and then simple macro's can be used to act like a single button, and then your action bar 1 button can be pressed and interpreted by the custom action bar addon.

But that's not really worth thinking about until we get keybinding support, i.e. access to the user's default keybindings, or at least the ability to have actions occurr on keypress instead of only on mouse click.
