BarShelf

Hide your action bars. Access them on demand.

Barshelf lets you declutter your UI by hiding Blizzard's action bars and accessing them through a compact floating dock. Click a shelf handle to pop open your action bar in a customizable grid — then click again (or press ESC, or click away) to dismiss it.

Since Barshelf reparents Blizzard's actual buttons (not copies), everything works natively in combat: cooldowns, usability, range coloring, proc highlights, and tooltips.

Features

Bar Shelves (Bars 1–8) — Reparent any Blizzard action bar into a popup grid. Cooldowns, range checks, and proc highlights work in combat.
Custom Shelves — Drag spells, items, or macros onto buttons to create your own popup groups (OPie-like).
Configurable Grid — Set # of icons, # of rows, icon size, and padding per shelf. Auto-detects Blizzard's Edit Mode settings when adding a bar.
Multiple Docks — Horizontal or vertical. Drag the grip to reposition. Each dock holds any number of shelves.
Appearance Controls — Dock/shelf/handle background opacity, border toggle, padding, handle icon and font sizes — global defaults with per-shelf overrides.
Edit Mode Aware — Entering Edit Mode temporarily restores hidden bars so you can configure Blizzard's settings. Changes are picked up automatically on exit.
Profiles — AceDB profile support. Switch, copy, or reset configurations per character.
Blizzard Settings Integration — All options live in the AddOns tab with subcategories: General, Appearance, Shelves, Docks, Profiles.

Getting Started

Type /bs or click the minimap icon to open settings.
Go to the Shelves tab and click + Add Bar Shelf.
A dock appears on screen with your shelf handle — click it to toggle the popup.
Right-click any handle to jump to that shelf's settings.
Drag the dotted grip on the dock to reposition it.

Slash Commands

/bs or /barshelf — Open settings
/bs reset — Reset dock positions to center
/bs rebuild — Force rebuild all docks and shelves

Tips

Set your action bars to Hidden in Blizzard's Edit Mode — Barshelf hides them automatically when a shelf is active and restores them when removed.
Use Custom Shelves for utility spells, profession cooldowns, or consumables you don't need on your main bars.
Adjust # of Rows to create compact grids (e.g., 3 columns × 4 rows for a 12-button bar).
