Description

WideTradeSkillsReloaded began as a refinement of WideTradeSkillsPlus (v1.0.2) by StormtrooperTK421, originally created to make the “double-wide” tradeskill window actually use its extra space by extending the recipe list.

With the release of TBC Anniversary 2.5.5, however, Blizzard’s internal TradeSkillFrame implementation changed significantly. The original codebase (and earlier refinements of it) could no longer be maintained in a stable or clean way.

As a result, this project evolved into a full rewrite:

The frame layout is now rebuilt directly on top of the modern 2.5.5 UI system
Legacy hooks and fragile texture manipulations have been removed
Only the core goal remains: a clean, fully functional, truly double-wide tradeskill interface

Some features present in earlier forks of WideTradeSkillsPlus have been intentionally dropped or simplified in favour of robustness, clarity, and long-term maintainability on current clients.

In that sense, WideTradeSkillsReloaded is now effectively a new addon, continuing the spirit of the original project while adapting it to the modern TBC Anniversary client.

Tested and developed for TBC Anniversary 2.5.5.

Changelog

v2.0.1 – 2026-02-27

Fixed Mid-List Texture Glitch: Specifically targeted and hidden TradeSkillHorizontalBarLeft and TradeSkillHorizontalBarRight to remove the horizontal line cutting through the recipe list.
Removed Redundant Masking: Excised the buggy WTSBottomMask logic that was attempting to cover textures rather than disabling them.
Improved Layout Alignment: Refined the vertical anchoring of the TradeSkillListScrollFrame to ensure a seamless transition between the list and the bottom border.
Enhanced Compatibility: Optimized the ApplyWideTradeSkill function to better handle frame updates during active crafting sessions.
