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

alemecia Fri, 17 Oct 2008 03:17:35Why does druid prowl use up its own bar? =[ I don't think it does in the game, and I know it didn't on bongos. Fact of the matter is, unlike a rogue, the only abilities druids use in prowl that differ from regular cat form is ravage and pounce.
Every druid should pretty much have ravage and shred bound together in a macro checking [stealth], so the only real extra skill is pounce.
Personally, I bind pounce and prowl together for a nice spammable restealth/open button.
I went in the code on my own and took out the druid stealth paging, but I feel I may have screwed something up, and for the overall mod, I think you should remove it.

dragonfish Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:14:28heh heh.. so.. we all spelled 'numbutons' w/ one t
should have been "/dom numbuttons 9" with two t's
which means it works.. & now i see how the paging will work.. and now i think i can do this
thank you very much

sgtperry Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:32:48i got the same thing using the /dom numbuttons 9 command, it opened up the options menu, and reset all bars to the middle, is there anyway to have numbers 1-0 and the - and = addded to one bar,or something like that

dragonfish Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:26:27thank you very much for your reply, i tried the command "/dom numbutons 9" & all that happened was it brought me to the Dominos menu.
i'm going to play w/ the slash comands & see if i can solve my own problem since it says paging is possible.. (i can page on the '1' action bar, but it simply gives me the other action bars, i need to be able to page several & once, i'm getting the impression if that is doable it will consume the other avaiable action bars(there is a max number of 10 bars yes?), meaning to make them the size i'd prefer i'll have 7 action buttons or so that i'd lose, which is too many. if i understand this mod right (and obviously i'm still trying to figure it out) i cant break them up into a larger number of smaller bars, which leaves me with either an awkward larger than i want it set of bars, or not enough buttons)

dragonfish Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:55:54(maybe i should have added, i've been using a 4x5 block of buttons, w/ atleast 3 pages, one for dmg spells, one for healing, one for other stuff. i'm so lost not being able to do that)

dragonfish Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:50:33Made the switch & i could cry. I love bongos for its ultimate flexibility. i use strictly keyboard & being able to set up a ten-key type frame w/ the paging options meant i have exactly the ui i need, plus the ability to place a single button on the screen for targetable AoE cannot be over vauled.
I Need the Paging feature Pls bring it back
ofcourse even then i'm in trouble because there arent really enough buttons now that i'm stuck w/ 10 bars to make the pages i need
PLEASE BRING BACK PAGING (& IF I COULD BE SO GREEDY, THE ABILITY TO CREATE MORE THAN A STATIC TEN BARS TO WORK WITH)
(or just bring back bongos... man i wish i knew how to write code.. fan update anyone? Bongos was the Perfect UI, Nothing else could touch it. Dominos cant either)

Capone2412 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:20:22Can anyone pleeeease make a fanupdate of Bongos 3.
It was one of the best addons I used in WoW (and I have dozens of addons). I read about Dominos replacing Bongos 3 and downloaded it. WTF? Deleted it, cause it's crap compared to Bongos 3.
1st: I can't create bars with more than 12 buttons.
2nd: I can't build new bars by using ALT+mouse.
3rd: Bugs with mirrored bars (1st bar same as 7th bar etc. - like in Bongos 2).
4th: Creating a new char or logging in with a friend's account turns the interface into a chaos of bars and buttons all over the screen.
5th: Poor setup functions and menu.
In my opinion there is no reason why Dominos should replace the really brilliant and perfect Bongos 3.
It's like trading a Ferrari off against a rusty bicycle :/
I'm really gutted about that decision :(
