Overview
Adds 4 extra action bars designed to work and look like the standard action bars. These bars are intended to complement your existing UI.
Features
- 4 additional action bars are added which allow upto 12 buttons per bar
- Designed to be quick and easy to configure
- Does not change or alter the standard action bars in the game
- Bars can be dragged anywhere on screen and orientated horizontally or vertically
- Non actions can be dragged to the bar to allow counts of items
- Should also be compatible with Bartender, Dominos, macaroon, etc...
Upcoming in v0.8
- / command's for configuration
- Option to fully hide faded gui control
- 'Conditionals' for bar visibility (will allow bar to be shown/hidden during combat etc)
- / command to change the strata level of each bar (controls if the bar will appear above or below other gui elements)
Instructions
- These buttons work with the standard drag and drop of actions
- A faint icon can be found at the top right corner of each bar, clicking this will provide some quick graphical options to configure the bar including a shortcut button to the bars configuration page
- To change configuration settings go to the Interface->Addons->Extra Bar menu option
- To bind keys to the buttons go to the 'Extra Bar' section of 'Key Bindings'
Known Issues
- Macros with identical names may be switched around on the bar
- Critters and Mounts do not darken if they cannot be used
- Some spells/abilities may not have a fully updated display on the button (e.g. Hunter Aspects only ever show the skill icon, they don't change to a wisp icon when active)
Feedback
I appreciate feedback and comments you have. Free time to work on this addon is tight, but I will try to put priority behind any significant issues that crop up provided I can confirm them.

torgobob Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:29:37This is the only bar addon I currently use, and as much as I've looked, I've not found a replacement for it.
There are really only 2 issues I see with action bars currently. The first is the ui item in the right corner, which is scheduled to be hideable in then next release (for which I'm looking forward to). The second is the fact that its limited to 4 bars (I read adding new bars is intended by v1.0). However the fact that this is the only action bar plug in that remotely seems to do what I'm looking for, even the need for more button real estate doesn't seem like a huge deal...
Its definitely the only mod for people who simply want to place more action bars on screen that behave like the original bars do...

ClemSnide Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:58Unfortunately, ExtraBars isn't treated so well by patches; its settings get restored to defaults. This means that every patch day I have about 20 characters for whom I have to edit, move, and restore 4 individual bars... which makes it more trouble than it's worth. (Even if I could remember what skills I had on each bar.)
I'd suggest a way to maintain user settings between patches (size, position, orientation, contents) and also one which would let users copy another chara's settings for themselves, for size and position at least.
