Small hotbutton clusters in people's UIs

Eh · 12-16-2007, 04:12 PM

Noobish question here about hotbars. I've noticed in many people's UIs that they have banks of hotbuttons as normal, and then more buttons off to the side, usually 4 or 5 wide. Are these just additional hotbars that have been 'dragged' into a different shape, or is there another window (custom?) that is used? I have 5 hotbutton bars but no smaller window with 5 or 10 buttons for things like "call of..." and clickies.

Sorry if the question seems vague, I wish I had an example screenshot to link.

Cheers

An example screenie would be useful like you said, else it could be something in a downloaded UI.

Personally, I use the default UI. I have 5 rows of hotbars for my teir 8 zerker. The bottom row of which tend to be clicky items. They look like hotbars, with the up/down arrows visible, but not the box surrounding each slot.

I've a 6th hotbar made, shrunk, and only half filled, which floats up the top of the screen away from my bank of regular hotbars. That one just has /target nearest, /target next and a couple other system tools. But with the surrounding box and up/down arrows removed the hotbar they're in doesn't look like a hotbar. Could it be something like that?

you can open multiple version of the same hotbar and manually reshape them..vertical, box-shaped, "L" shaped..whatever. Just like ya resize a window in...well, Windows™.And yes, they're usually just several hotbars put side by side or one on top of the other..depending on where you want them.

Here's a screenie of my UI. It's all default. You've just gotta reshape your hotbars to how you'd like them to be. Unfortunately, without a custom mod, the hotbar window itself tends to over lap if you place them flush against each other and the "click through" doesn't seem to work so sometimes you've got to move your mouse around a bit on an overlapped hotkey to actually activate it but it's not too big of an annoyance.Sorry it's a bit grainy looking. Text never likes being resized all that much.
