Description
Forever Taskbar
All your addons in one thin bar along the bottom of the screen, like the Windows taskbar. Forever Taskbar finds the addons you have enabled and gives each one an icon. A click does what the addon's minimap button does.
- A click does the same thing. Left, right and middle click go to the addon just as they would on its minimap button. Tooltips are the addon's own, shown above the icon.
- It finds your addons by itself. LibDataBroker objects, plain minimap buttons and the addon's menu function all work. An addon with an icon and nothing to click opens its page in the game settings instead, and you can turn those icons off.
- A tidy minimap. The minimap buttons of the icons on the bar are hidden, and one switch brings them back.
- Your gold and the time. Both sit at the right end and both can be switched off. The clock's tooltip shows the date, FPS and latency.
- Moves nothing else. Your action bars stay where you put them, and their buttons stay on top of the bar.
- Arrange it. Drag an icon to move it, and Ctrl + right click takes it off the bar. Icons that do not fit go behind
a
^button. - Hide it, if you like. It can stay below the screen edge until the mouse reaches it, and the icon size goes from 16 to 32 pixels.

Good to know
- Made for the Forever client (Interface 16001).
- Not everything can go on the bar: secure buttons on the minimap, data feeds with nothing to click, addons with no icon
and no action, and modules of a bigger addon.
/ftb scanlists them with the reason. - A menu that an addon anchors to its own minimap button or to the cursor opens there, not at the bar.
- If another addon also collects minimap buttons, turn that off, or its bar shows gaps.
- Settings are saved per account.
