Dominos is an action bar addon intended to do the following:
- Reuse as much standard blizzard action button code as possible.
- Contain a relatively minimal feature set
- Be easy to use
- Be stable
It includes the following features:
- 10 action bars, pet, class, menu, and bag bars. Each one has customizable settings for padding, spacing, columns, scale, and opacity.
- Customizable paging. You can switch pages on: action bar pages, modifier keys, forms, and targeting.
- Customizable show states. You can tell your bar under which macro options to show.
- Fading bars. You can set your bars to fade out to a certain opacity when not moused over.
- The ability to customize showing empty buttons or not
- Full button facade support
- Keybound support
- Sticky frames
- The ability to move buttons in combat
- A movable casting bar (optional)
- A movable roll frame (optional)
- A movable xp/reputation bar (optional)
- Configurable right click targeting
- Configurable self cast key settings
- Possess bar support
...and will probably not end up with the following:
- A stats bar
- A minimap bar
- True variable length bars
Here's how you use it:
- To see the current list of slash commands, type /dom ? or /dominos ?
- To open up the options menu, either go into interface options, or type /dom
- To move bars around, either go into the options menu and press the "Enter Config Mode" button, or type /dom lock
- To bind keys, enter binding mode via /kb or /keybound, or press the "Enter Binding Mode" button in the options menu.
...and this is why I wrote it:
- I have significantly less time to code now than I did previously. Dominos is intended to be easier to maintain.
- I wanted to see how much I could do while maintaining compatibility with the standard action button code.
- I'm not entirely happy with the direction I took with Bongos3. I added features that I do not see myself using personally, and thus feel that those features will be neglected and bug ridden.
- RedRange - Colors action buttons red when out of range
- OmniCC - Adds cooldown count text
- ButtonFacade - Allows you to change the look of the action, pet, and class buttons
- Inline Aura - Adds buff and debuff highlighting to action buttons

zibary Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:24:18with patch 2.4.3, i am now getting a taint (benign but annoying) that I didn't have before. I am using Clique and Bongos2. I am considering changing over to Dominos if it avoids this issue. Let me describe...
from my taintLog:
I do this so I can use different action bars to change what spell shift-left-click triggers from Clique. In my case, various ranks of Chain Heal.
However, each time I login, when I go to use shift-left-click on a target in Grid for example, it shows the taint dialog and asks me to disable or ignore. I ignore it and then I never have to do it again until I log back in. As far as I can tell, i am not losing any functionality but it is annoying. If I switch over to using Dominos, a) will I be able to have the same setup I am using in Bongos2 (i read a bug about changing action bars removes the bind?) and b) will have the same taint issue?
apologies for the lengthy post, just trying to get back to my ideal setup :) thanks in advance.

tmchardy Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:33:24For those looking for an XP bar, I found Trinity XP bar to be really nice, though I really didn't like the trinity buttons. I put this addon in place and deleted all but the core Trinity & XP bar, now i have all my nice buttons in Dominos, and a slim and sleek xp bar. A small recommendation for those waiting for that XP bar functionality.

Tuller Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:15:53ju88x88de: Dominos and Bongos3 both have right click selfcast settings in their respective options menus. Dominos is a bit different, in that I expanded the right click option to be "Right Click Target". You can now choose from focus, self, and target of target.
tecbuilder: That's the possess bar, functionality blizzard introduced in 2.3.x. You can revert to the Bongos2 method via setting the Possess bar option to be the pet bar in the main options menu (/dominos)
Duchess44: There is no experience bar at this time. Dominos 1.3.x will include it.

tmchardy Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:40:39I just wanted to say, I read the following statements:
Reuse as much standard blizzard action button code as possible. Contain a relatively minimal feature set Be easy to use Be stable
And thought, "yeah right".... but wow! I don't normally just post for the sake of posting praise, but anyone out there looking for hotbars that won't screw you up in a week - this is probably it. All the buttons map to default Blizz buttons, so if it stops working in a week, i'm not screwed! I've been very hesitant on getting UI customizations, but after my hunter just couldn't take all those buttons anymore, i tried Trinity... hours to config, and a week later, a blizz patch comes out and the whole things busted! Keep it simple and this will be the only UI mod that I use! (Though I did like the XP bar in Trinity... can't wait to see yours. ;-) )

tecbuilder Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:06:11Where has the pet bar gone? On my warrior, when I get a pet, the 'pet bar' moves into my '#1 bar'. Making it impossible for me to do anything with my warriors buttons in the #1 bar. I have to wait until after the pet goes away then I get my #1 bar back. Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Tuller Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:56:46Well, if its the dominos cast bar, disable it via unchecking it in the addons menu. If its not, then, disable it via whatever your replacing the casting bar with.
