tabed hotbar window

zabom · #1 03-14-2007, 10:52 AM

Hello I am new to this forum. As of yet I have not begun doing my own interfaces. Mostly because you guys are doing such a great job. So, I am not yet sure what is or isn't possible. What I would like to see, is a tabbed window (much like the chat window) for placing hotbars into. That way you could have a raid, group, solo, crafting etc. tab for different configurations of the hot buttons. I find that changing the spinners is a bit of a pain since i keep my icon size down to 25. this solution would be very helpfull

Not sure about the whole tabbed hotbar thing (even though I have a sneaky feeling it couldn't be done), but it is possible to have more than one hotbar up at a time. Just right click on your existing hotbar and choose to open a new one.

Yes I know this, I currently have 7 open. I would like to be able to rearrange them easely based on what activity I am involved in. For example, In a raid I would eliminate all area effect spells as well as my root spell. The tabed window I am suggeting should be able to hold multiple hotbars in each tab. I am a mouse user, so the actual hotkeys are unimportant to me it is the different arrangements of clickable icons that I am after.

Tabbed hotkeys not possible.

Luckily:

/savehotkeys
/loadhotkeys

Again I would like to say that I have not yet looked at the uibuilder and what script options are available; but could this be simulated by using a row of buttons to change opacity and layer position of different hotkey bars? ...Similar to dynamic layering on a web page

The code required to make something like this happen isn't available to us. The entire mechenism for adding, removing and naming chat tabs on the fly is hard-coded. Likewise the hotkey window is dependant on a very specific structure. Finally, we have virtually no way to manipulate drag-n-drop behavior.

What you're asking for would require real coding, not scripting. I suggest you post your request on the SOE forumns.
