Description
QuickHide
A cleaner screen, one click away. QuickHide hides Blizzard's micro menu and bag bar, and optionally the built-in damage meter and other addons' minimap buttons. Click the minimap button, press a key, or type /qhide, and they're all back.
Works on Retail and WoW Forever.
Features
- One switch for everything. A single toggle hides or shows every element at once.
- Pick a style per element:
- Hide: gone until you flip the switch.
- Fade: invisible, but fades in when you mouse over it.
- Ignore: QuickHide leaves it alone.
- Choose what to hide:
- Micro menu (character, spellbook, talents, and the rest)
- Bag bar
- Blizzard's damage meter
- Other addons' minimap buttons (LibDBIcon buttons and most addons' own minimap buttons)
- Show them anyway when it makes sense:
- Out of combat
- While resting
- While holding Shift, Ctrl or Alt
- Bags only: while an item is on your cursor, so you can drop it into a bag
- Never miss an alert. While the micro menu is hidden, the minimap button glows gold when a micro button wants your attention, and its tooltip tells you which one and why.
- Free bag slots at a glance in the tooltip.
- LibDataBroker support for Titan Panel, ChocolateBar and similar bars: shows Hidden · 42 free, turning orange when you're low on space and red when your bags are full.
- Plays nicely with the default UI. Everything comes back in Edit Mode, and QuickHide never shows a bar Blizzard has hidden itself (vehicles, pet battles, gamepad mode).

Good to know
- Other fader addons: if another addon also fades the micro menu or bags (MiniFader, for example), turn that part off in one of them so they don't fight over the same bar.
- Minimap button bags: buttons already collected by a button-bag addon stay with that addon.
- Damage meter: Blizzard's own visibility setting for the meter always wins. If the meter is set to In combat and QuickHide's Out of combat option is on, the meter will never show.
- A minimap button isn't being hidden? Leave a comment with the addon's name and I'll add it.
