About HideBars

HideBars can hide the default blizzard bar; shapeshift, stance, aura, stealth, shadowform, etc. For example a druid has shapeshifting, warrior has battle/defense/berserk stance, pally has aura, rogue has stealth, and priest has shadowform. The icons could rather be moved from the spell book manually to the action bars to take advantage of keybinds and other features. Or a player in the forums mentioned we can still use keybinds for special action button 1-10 without having to move spells to the action bar - thanks miu

    Sometimes or always? Happens maybe 1% of the time for me. A known bug where sometimes bars are visible when in combat because not hidden fast enough by the blizzard UI and too late now that combat started.

    I will revisit the issue to see if Blizz added some controls I can take advantage of.

    Todo: Still works in patch 4.0.6, however one feature for anyone using a macro which changes stances immediately before combat starts, the bars may become visible during combat and not hide. Seems blizzard added extra steps to their code when the stance changes and is not letting an addon detect it. I am unable to find another event which can help reliably set it before combat. Hmm.

    Was your question to show the metamorphosis bar so no gap, or hide the demon bar too, or move the demon bar so no gap? So far I see the metamorphasis bar hides as intended. Seems the other demon (pet) bar has something blizzard does that moves it to the right. For example,

    0 ) then
    PETACTIONBAR_XPOS = _G["ShapeshiftButton"..GetNumShapeshiftForms()]:GetRight() + 20;

    Since the ShapeshiftBarFrame always exists for that class, I can not get rid of it. Blizz ends up pushing other bars to the right. This addon mostly hides bars, not move them. Let me know what you think.

    Download button or choosing the file manually seems to be okay. Maybe try again later?

    Ya, sorry Yamani. Blizz hasn't fixed the order of events that fire in combat even after wot when I tested. What makes this unique is that Blizz tries to redraw the bars constantly with the OnUpdate() function even after turned off, so its not a simple on and off option sadly.

    I've been using this addon and for the most part it works great. But every once and a while in the middle of combat it will show up. Normally this wouldnt be a problem, But I use another addon called Autobar, and I just happen to put Autobar RIGHT there. So when it pops up I cannot get to the item in Autobar (Just happens to be the Health and Mana potions that get covered, Do figure)

    Anyone else experience this problem?
