Integrated PopBar v3.07 (9 December 2009)
For Live Servers v3.3.0.10958
By Xinhuan
Inspired by PopBar, this mod integrates the fundamental aspect of PopBar into the menu bar itself, toggleable between the Bag Buttons and 3 extra rows of buttons.
This AddOn is not designed to be draggable or movable and is not as customizable as some of the other additional toolbar addons. This AddOn is completely standalone and is not dependent on any other AddOn.
The design of this addon is based on the fact that many players use the hotkeys to open all their bags: Shift-B. You can rebind B to also open all your bags, or use F8-F12 for each individual bag. Hence, there is no real reason for the bag buttons to be displayed at all most of the time.
Similarly, all the interface has shortcuts, L for quest log, O for guild list, C for character, U for reputation, K for skills, P for spells, N for talents, etc. You don't actually need those bag or microbuttons, which is what this mod has in mind when being designed. Your playing mode should mostly be in the "Ipopbar" mode rather than the "bag mode".
=====================
Screenshot explanation:
This is what your action bar normally looks like:
Hovering the mouse over the Action Bar Page Number, I've made it clickable (in the picture, I've bounded it to "Y") to toggle between the Menu and IPopBar. The Action Bar Page Number text here is now colored according to your latency (green (under 300ms), yellow (under 600 ms) or red):
Click! The menu bar and bag buttons are now replaced by IPopBar! It displays 11 icons hotkeys that are boundable in the Key Bindings:
Hovering the mouse over the IPopBar (bottom, Row 1) will cause an additional row of toolbar to appear. Over here, my mouse is on the Tauren War Stomp ability:
=====================
Commands:
/ipopbar : Shows help on available commands.
/ipopbar rows X : Use X rows of buttons. X can be 1, 2 or 3.
/ipopbar togglecombat : Automatically switch to bar mode on entering combat.
/ipopbar scale X : Scale the main menu bar. X can be between 0.5 and 2.0.
/ipopbar endcaps : Show/hide the dragon end caps on the main menu bar.
/ipopbar rowXstartID Y : Set the starting action ID of row X to action ID Y. X can be 1, 2, or 3; Y can be between 1 and 110.
/ipopbar resetstartID : Resets the starting action IDs of all the rows to the defaults.
If you have Ace3 core libraries installed, then typing /ipopbar will instead open the Ace3 configuration screen for IPopBar.
=====================
Quirks:
If you loot an item, the normal animation of the item that goes into the bag doesn't display, until you toggle to the bags.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
