About BetterPowerBarAlt
The button in the Ultraxion and Madness of Deathwing encounters is not the same as the power bars in previous raids! This addon will do nothing for those. Luckily I do have another addon (BetterExtraActionButton) for moving that button :p
Makes the PlayerPowerBarAlt frame movable. This is the frame for quests and instance encounters that shows a power bar specific to the event. This includes sound on Atramedes, corruption on Cho'gall, Lord Rhyolith's direction, and feathers on Alysrazor as well as the counter and timer bar used in Dark Moon Faire games.
There is no config. Right click on the frame to make it movable, then drag it to where you want and right click again to lock it in place. While it is unlocked, you can also use your mouse wheel over the frame to adjust it's scale and reset it back to its default scale by pressing the middle mouse button.
4.0.6 added an option to show the status text (Interface -> Status Text -> Alternate Resource), so you can change the setting there or toggle it by holding shift and left clicking on the frame. By default the status text will show when mousing over the bar.
To adjust it outside of a raid encounter, you can fly into the Maw of Madness in Twilight Highlights and move the "Digestive Acids" bar around.
If you find the frame some place it shouldn't be, you can type "/bpba reset" to move it to the center of screen.
Also a quick note: Unit frame addons like to disable the blizzard bar (PitBull does by default), so if you're not seeing it, that's more than likely why.

Addon is broken, every time one of guardians become active bars move to default position, so annoying to move em all the time, fix this please
Nothing is broken, you have another addon that's positiioning the frame, fix that, and you issue will be resolved.
Thanks for update.
why do i have to re-move this everytime i zone in somewhere
Is it normal that I have to move it every time it appears on every character, or same character every time. It's really annoying having it in the middle of the screen and having to move it each time.
In ver r23,
just add ")" atfer end on line 97.
end---> end)
cheers!
i just noticed that ;[ lol thanks
Just so everyone is clear on this: Ultraxion and Madness of Deathwing buttons are not the same as the power bars in previous raids! This addon will do nothing for those. I do have another addon (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/betterextraactionbutton) for moving the button, or Bartender can do it, aswell.
This addon works perfect on ultraxion and madness of deathwing @4.3.5(15050)
thx
Just to drop a quick note about 4.3: Raids aren't affected at all, but Murozond (the last boss of the End Time dungeon) may have a clicking feature on the power bar. I'll look into it once I get a little more time.
Its movable with position settings in Bartender as "ExtraActionBar"
Yeah, I can't seem to click on the hourglass.
Has Anybody tested it for ULTRAXION?????
Does this (or will this) work with Ultraxion in that it needs to be clickable?
I haven't played on the PTR, but just looking at file changes, it seems that the button frame is a new thing, called ExtraActionBarFrame (the button being ExtraActionButton1) which is tied to the main action button bar (and already has a BT4 module). I checked on UnitPowerBarAlt, but nothing was added to allow clicking, so I'm fairly certain nothing needs to be updated to prevent breakage come 4.3.
I did throw something together to make the new bar movable (dry-coded copy/paste) so I'll commit that after I have time to make sure its not horribly broken >.>
Are there any new quests (new DMF, maybe?) that use the new button? would make it pretty easy for me to test it~ (I'm kind of lazy, btw)
