Stryk's Emote Wheel

A World of Warcraft addon that gives you a draggable 12-slice radial emote menu, triggered by a small interactive button you can place anywhere on screen.

Features

Radial wheel — 12 emote slices arranged in a clock-face layout, activated on hover
Customisable slots — assign any of 145+ WoW emotes to any slot via the Settings panel
13 colour themes — 12 expansion palettes (Classic through Midnight) plus Class Color, which automatically applies your character's class color on login
13 hub icons — choose any icon, including Class Icon which uses your character's class icon automatically
Adjustable wheel size — slider from 60 to 140 (default 95)
Hold-to-drag — hold left-click on the trigger or open wheel for 0.3s to enter drag mode; position is saved across sessions
Key binding — assign any key or modifier+key combo to open the wheel; holding opens it, releasing fires the highlighted emote
Controller binding — assign any gamepad button (face buttons, LB, LT, LS, RS, RT, and modifier combos) to open the wheel; holding opens it, releasing fires
Snap to Cursor — when enabled, the wheel snaps to your cursor position on open; mouse direction or analog stick angle selects a slice; releasing fires the emote and snaps back
Blocked-state protection — the wheel cannot be opened while dead, in ghost form, or during a boss encounter; the trigger icon desaturates as a visual indicator
Hide on fullscreen map — trigger, wheel, and Settings panel all hide when the world map opens
Scrollable dropdowns — emote picker, theme list, and icon picker all cap at 5 visible rows with mousewheel scroll and a themed scrollbar
Persistent settings — all choices saved to StryksEmoteWheelDB and restored on login
