LooseButtons

All the buttons. Not a bar.

LooseButtons lets you drag spells, items, macros, and Character & info launchers out of your spellbook and drop them anywhere on screen as single, free-floating buttons. Snap a few together, pick a theme, bind keys, and save the arrangement as a layout you can share.

It grows one button at a time. It does not replace your action bars.

Why LooseButtons

• Put things where you use them. A mount by the minimap, a potion by your health bar, Talents beside the map.
• Nothing to configure first. No rows, paging, or grids. Each button stands on its own.
• Made for the modern UI. Built for WoW Forever and the current Mainline (Midnight-era) interface.

Features

Place and snap

• Drag from the LooseButtons tab in your spellbook onto open ground
• Buttons snap flush to neighbors, with green edges previewing every link before you let go
• Drop into a gap or onto a seam and the cluster opens up to make room
• Shift-drag moves a whole group; Alt-drag pulls one button free

What you can place

• Spells and items, with cooldowns and item counts
• Macros
• Character & info launchers: Character, Talents, Professions, Quest log, Collections, Group finder, Adventure guide, Achievements, Guild, Housing, Game menu, and more
• Backpack, listed under Items

Themes and scale

• Four themes: Default, Elevated, Glass Lip, and No Plate
• Button scale from 50% to 200%
• Optional separate scale and theme for Character & info launchers

Layouts

• Saved layouts are shared across your account; each character picks its own, similar to Edit Mode
• New characters start on a Blank layout
• New Layout, Rename, and Delete from the Layout dropdown
• Share copies an LB1! string; Import pastes one from a friend

Spellbook controls

• A parchment ribbon at the top of the LooseButtons tab holds Lock, Edit, Clear all, and Help
• Lock stops moving, snapping, and deleting until you unlock
• Edit opens Quick Keybind
• Help covers placing, snapping, dragging, and removing

Keybinds

• Bind any placed button with Quick Keybind
• Bindings also appear under Key Bindings > AddOns

Getting Started

1. Install LooseButtons and log in.
2. Open your spellbook and click the LooseButtons icon on the category row.
3. Drag a spell, item, or launcher onto the screen.
4. Drop it next to another button to snap them together.
5. Click Lock when everything is where you want it.

Removing buttons: Alt-right-click removes one button, Shift-right-click removes its group, and Clear all removes everything.

Commands

• /lb or /loose: open Quick Keybind
• /lb help: open Help
• /lb reset: remove every button right away (no confirmation)

Good to Know

• In combat: placed spells, items, and macros work as normal, and launcher keybinds still work. Clicking a launcher that opens a window is blocked in combat by the game. Moving and placing buttons is out of combat only.
• Spells you don't have remain in a shared layout but are hidden on characters that lack them.
• Game version: if the game is newer than the addon, enable Load out of date AddOns on the character select AddOns screen.
• Not for Classic Era or other Classic clients.
• Forever beta: the beta client can fail to reload saved addon settings after a full restart. /reload keeps them. This is a known client issue.
