- About Bongos2
I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender3
Table of Contents
Description
Bongos is an action bar replacement designed to be both low memory, and easy to setup. It is not as feature rich as other bar mods, but should include the features most commonly used.
Included Addons
- Bongos2: The core addon.
- Bongos2 ActionBar: Breaks up the main action bar into movable parts.
- Bongos2 Stats: A display for latency, framerate, and memory usage
- Bongos2 RollBar: Makes the frame for rolling on items movable
- Bongos2 CastBar: A movable casting bar, with the ability to show cast time.
- Bongos2 XP: A movable experience/reputation bar
- Bongos2 Options: A dynamically loaded options menu for Bongos.
Features
- Every Bongos bar can be moved, hidden, scaled, and have its opacity altered
- Sticky bars: Each bar can be automatically anchored to any other bar simply by moving one bar near the other.
- Access to 120 action buttons, which can be set up in any number of bars.
- Customizable stance transitions for each bar
Usage
General
- To bring up the options menu: type /bongos menu
- To unlock bars: uncheck the lock bars option in the main options menu
- To hide or show a bar: unlock bars, then middle click or shift right click it
- To move a bar: unlock bars, and then click and drag it with the left mouse button
- To bring up a bar's configuration menu, right click it
Key Bindings
- Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos
- To bind keys, open the main options panel, and select the bindings option. Hover over a button, then press a key to bind it to that button
Action Bars
- Accessing general action bar options: open up the main options window (/bongos menu) and select the action bars panel
- Adjusting the layout of a given bar: unlock bars and right click the bar you want to adjust to bring up its configuration menu
- Moving buttons: Hold down the key for moving buttons (shift by default), and drag a button. Alternatively, unlock button positions by shift right clicking the mini map button, or unchecking the option in the main options menu
- Making a bar bigger: You can increase the maximum size of a given bar by reducing the number of action bars. To do so, adjust the action bars slider on the action bar panel of the main options menu. This option will reset the settings of your actionbars
Stances and Paging
- Stances and paging are configured via a bar's right click menu. Select the stances or paging panel and adjust the offsets to change what buttons are displayed for an actionbar in a given state.
Slash Commands
- All commands start with either /bongos, /bob, or /bgs
- <barList> can have a possible value of an actionbar number, menu, bags, pet. class, or all
- You can also specify a group or range of bars, the command /bo scale 1-3 class 1.2 will scale actionbars 1 2 3, and the class bar to 120% of their normal size.
Command List
* /bongos - Shows the options menu, if present * /bongos lock - Toggles locking bars positions * /bongos show <barList> - Shows <barList> * /bongos hide <barList> - Hides <barList> * /bongos toggle <barList> - Toggles <barList> * /bongos scale <barList> <scale> - Sets the scale of <barList> to <scale> * /bongos setalpha <barList> <opacity> - Sets the opacity of <barList> to <opacity> * /bongos set <profile> - Sets the current character to use <profile> * /bongos copy <profile> - Copies all settings from <profile> * /bongos delete <profile> - Deletes <profile> * /bongos reset - Loads default settings * /bongos version - Displays what version of bongos you're running * /keybound - Toggles keybinding mode
Reporting Bugs
When reporting bugs, give me what version of WoW you are running, what addons you're running, your Bongos version (/bongos version), your class, and attempt to reproduce the error with just Bongos enabled.

rockinbrando saidAlthough I've loved Bongos2 on my two main toons, I've been having trouble on my hunter. I've set up some macros w/ modifiers (i.e. one button for all stings, each either by pressing the button, or shift+button, etc) and I've having a terrible time. Shift + a number pages to another page, so that modifier does not work. Ctrl + a number simply does nothing and Alt + a number actually works.
I'd like to have Shift and Ctrl work. I know to have shift work I'd have to turn off that paging feature and I have no idea why Ctrl does not work as a modifier. Is there any way to make this work with this mod?

Hast saidTuller isn't updating this anymore, get Dominos, that's his latest bar project.
To answer jcole103's question: Your best solution is to rebind the keys on bar 1, other than that I can't give you much help.

jcole103 saidWhen I am using Bongos 2 with all my other toons the bars work great. This is the best bar mod I have found. The only problem I have with it is when I play my Druid and transform in to Bear/Cat my bars change the icons correctly but if I hit the 2 button it uses my human form skill instead of my Bear/Car icon. Why is that?

Ektor saidHi Tuller & Jason,
I have a question to this great mod!
I used it since the releas. During this time there was a version including the possibility to switch only between two bars by holding shift + using mousewheel up or down.
Pleas readd this feature!
It's damn surprising when during a great PvP fight you start to rebuff your target or yourself cause the wrong bar has been chosen.
Pleas go on with this mod, its one of the best ever.

DDAWGYO saidBongos2 hides the blizz cast bar perfectly when I am casting, but after I open something, the blizz cast bar is there to stay until I log/reload ui. Could you look into fixing this? Either that, or give Bongos3 bars for your bags.

Xanielyene saidIn the latest version of bongos, which derives whether to keep the action bar slots "locked" or not from the default interface options, fails to change the option in the default interface options to "locked" when the option is checked in via the bongos options menu, therefore if you have locked bars off in the default options and you set it to lock in the bongos options, it will lock for the time being but fails to retain that option when you log offline because Bongos does not change the interface option checkbox for locking the bars.

Kiaim saidHi, I like this addon, but for some reason, when I fill in the bars with my spells or abilities (im a druid), the bars wont shift from one form to another. For example, when i am in normal form and go into bear form the bar just doesnt shift it remains with the previous bar and spells (the primary bar). However- this is the wierd bit, when i shift to cat form, the bar shifts :S even when i shift into tree form, the only problem is when i shift to bear form, the bar just doesnt shift......wierd isnt it? can anyone help me with this problem pls?
Thank you

Aubrin saidSo I've come across an interesting anomoly that I can't figure out how to fix or why it's happening;
I decided to rework the interface for one of my characters from scratch, but now, on some bars, on some parts of those bars, if I put an ability into one of the action boxes, it puts it in not only the box that I've indicated, but the next 1-5 boxes after it! I tried resetting to the bongos defaults, but that only made the problem worse. I have no idea what's causing this, but it's driving me insane.

Aryella saidI tried bongos3 and didnt like it because it had no bag bar to begin with... now I put bongos 2 back again butttttt... As I tried bongos 3 with a warrior, now everytime I run a warrior I can't get the config screen to bongos 2. No keybindings no nothing... it just won't appear anywhere. Bongos2 is there and loaded, I can issue all the commands MINUS the bob one which will give me null... Any hints for me to be able to config bongos2 in a war again?

Dayon saidI'm having issues on my rogue. My searches to remedy it by looking for other's posts, or some sort of FAQ proved fruitless, so here it goes.
With Bongos2, whenever I go into stealth, the buttons swap to the designated bar, one case, bar 7, another case, bar 8, but whenever I used the hotkey for that button, it'd use my bar 1 abilities. I believe I remedied this with setting my hotkeys with Bongos2, but now the abilities disappear at random, for a random length of time, and randomly come back, but aren't functional until they're visible.
How can I fix this?

trapni saidUgh!
Can anyone please tell me what bognos makes so uniquely differnt to any other (especially Bartender3) with regards to being an "action bar addon"?
I just looked at the screenshots of bognos, and it doesn't look that different to bartender3.
so, what makes bognos better then bartender3 from the actionbar point of view?
