Glass Action Bars

Action Bars for World of Warcraft Forever

Glass Action Bars

The liquid-glass look of the Glass addons for World of Warcraft: Forever's own action bars. It keeps Blizzard's bars, so paging, key bindings, Edit Mode and cooldowns work exactly as they always do; only the look changes.

Three rows of twelve glass action buttons and a block of twelve beside them: crisp light rims lit from the top, clear glass on the empty slots, spell icons framed by the rim

Install

Install with the CurseForge app, or unzip the download into the Interface\AddOns folder inside your Forever game folder. Then /reload, or start the game. There is nothing to set up.

What it does

Glass on every bar: the main bar, the seven extra bars, the stance bar and the pet bar. Each button gets a thin glass rim, lit from the top, and a clear glass body. A slot with an action gets the full rim and an empty one a quieter one; pressing a button lights its rim. The main bar's frame art and dividers fade away, and so do the gryphons unless you keep them.

Blizzard's bars, not a replacement. Paging, stances and forms, key bindings, Edit Mode layouts, cooldowns, range and proc glows all stay the game's own, in and out of combat.

The bag bar and the micro menu match. The backpack, bag slots, reagent bag and key ring get the same glass (a slot with a bag gets the full rim, an empty one the quieter one). The micro menu sits on a subtle glass panel instead of Blizzard's dark one, and its buttons keep their own icons and states.

Three looks, switched live: clear, smoked and class colour glass.

Coming next

Smart bars docked to the end of a bar: a Utility bar with your Hearthstone and professions, and an API so other addons (Apotheca, 123, Portal Roulette) can dock their bars and buttons there.

Reporting a problem

Open an issue on GitHub with what you did, what you expected and what happened instead, plus the line from /gab version.

Lua errors are hidden by default on this client. If something seems broken, type /console scriptErrors 1 and do it again; the error text is the most useful thing you can send.

I've been playing WoW for a while now, both at relatively high mythic progression to now casual classic raiding. Also a hockey fan.
