XP Bar Enhanced uses one manifest. The client interface build is resolved to a product flavor, and that flavor activates the supported feature set.

Features

• Multiple Bar Styles — None (Blizzard default), Classic, Flat, Vertical, Circular, Minimap Ring, Terminal, and Orb
• Quest XP Overlay — See pending and completed quest XP directly on the bar
• Session Tracking — Track XP gained, time played, levels gained, and XP/hour rate
• Session Breakdown & Rate Smoothing — Session stats include quest XP vs other XP totals, with a rolling recent XP/hour rate for faster responsiveness
• Statistics Window & Session Charts — Detailed breakdown of your leveling progress, with an XP/hour histogram and a quest-vs-other split chart
• Profile System — Create, rename, delete, and switch between named settings profiles; Blizzard-style dropdown with inline actions and a global shared profile option
• Bar Size Presets — Scale the Flat and Vertical bars to Small, Default, Large, or Huge without distorting text or overlays
• Reputation, Companion, Housing, Honor, and Profession Tracking — The secondary bar can track watched faction progress (including Delve companion flavor), Housing Favor, Honor (PvP) levels, or a profession's skill
• Secondary Source Selector — Choose Reputation, Housing Favor, Honor, or Profession as the secondary bar source (with a first/second/auto profession selector)
• Main Bar at Max Level — Optionally repurpose the main bar to display the selected secondary source once you reach max level
