Just curious... Why do you still have the 3x12 array of dominos or bartender buttons there in the middle?
The true beauty of LunarSphere is that it allows us to hide all these buttons and have them only appear when needed. And LunarSphere allows us to forever say goodbye to those empty placeholder buttons.
Before I switched to LS, I always fretted about how to configure my bars. I used Dominos. I play a Rogue and Warrior, and now a DeathKnight. So, stances are always an issue with me. The warrior was especially troublesome for me. Some skills are unique to a stance, while others may be active in 2 stances but not 3, while others skills are available in all three warrior stances.
So using Dominos, I spent hours trying to figure out which buttons should go where, how to properly handle these buttons that appear in multiple stances and yet retain some meaning to their order and appearance on the screen at the same time. The problem was due to the fact that Dominos (and the default wow bars) bound the particular slot on the bar to a a single key, regardless of what stance you were in. Whatever... I digress! It was a pain for me. I hated messing with all that. All I'm trying to say is, LunarSphere solved all these problems by making the bars show up exactly when I want, with the correct spells associated with my stance, with individual keybdindings that were stance-exclusive.
It is the best damn bar addon out there, period! And no, I'm not a paid endorser. I'm just a true believer and a recent convert to LS. the only reason I still have Dominos installed is for the little "Vehicle" bar in WotLK. Everything else is hidden. As soon as LS provides full and proper support for the vehicle action bar, it will be the only bar addon that I will have installed.

I was inspired by vexi. I found one that had just the Orbs and had to use Bartender to add the bars to it. Out of Combat In combat One suggestion, Try to find and install the Diablo font. It would make your health and mana orbs look a whole lot better. I don't know... is the Diablo font part of the ClearFont2 package? If so, that will do the trick for you ;-) Fun stuff though. I love seeing what other people do to their UI's. It's always inspiring to me.

Just curious... Why do you still have the 3x12 array of dominos or bartender buttons there in the middle? I was actually using only LS for awhile... then it became time to level, and there's one thing Bartender can do LS can't... drag 'n drop quest items, etc, because I HATE having my bags open to use a quest item, and I certainly wasn't re-configuring my LS bars every 3 minutes. ... And, well.... it's the new "OOOO SHINY!" look of the month. (I get bored easily)

there's one thing Bartender can do LS can't... drag 'n drop quest items, etc, because I HATE having my bags open to use a quest item, and I certainly wasn't re-configuring my LS bars every 3 minutes. So, bartender will fill up several buttons for you automatically with quest items? Or you just want to drag and drop your items onto the buttons without needing to turn on button edit mode? Someone requested a long time ago that I add the ability to let people drag and drop spells and items onto the LS buttons, without the need to turn on button edit mode, so I added this feature in the Debug section, under "Force drag-and-drop assignment." If this is on, you can drag stuff to the buttons and it will assign the action like a normal action button, while outside of combat. And, as always, if the sphere is in button edit mode, you don't need to click the button you want to edit to bring up the button settings window, you can always drag-and-drop stuff as well =)

So I just picked up Lunar Sphere last night, and I spent hours upon hours steamlining my UI. I freaking love this addon sooooo much. In comparison to what I had before... (getting this motivated me to redo everything) I only wish I had found it sooner

OMG! I didn't know about the force drag and drop either! I still have the right hand vertical bar just so I have a place to use quest items...... Indeed Moongaze you roped me in again too.
/me rushes off to get rid of the last of the stock UI bars.

I also did not know about that debug option for dragging items! I've been using autobar for my quest items. It sort of handles quest items and tries to create a dynamic list of quest items, but it currently doesn't know all the WotLK items. AutoBar lets me create a custom buttom and has settings that let me drag items to it. It works, but I've still got this one little button on my screen that I don't want. Now that you've mentioned this hidden feature of LunarSphere, say goodbye to autobar!
note: Since I'm not really debugging anything, nor am I having any bothersome issues with LS, I never even looked in that debug tab.

The debug tab has two purposes:
1) Debug junk
2) Temp location for random stuff that doesn't have a home yet. Sadly, those 4-5 features that are in the debug tab have been alone and very much neglected, since I haven't moved they out of there. Heh.

Sadly, those 4-5 features that are in the debug tab have been alone and very much neglected, since I haven't moved they out of there. Heh. I enabled the drag and drop feature and it worked great! I would like make a suggestion for if and when you do formally ad this to LunarSphere. Can you support the inverse case of dragging a spell, item etc out of a button to remove it? Also, can you make it so that it remembers the key binding? In my day to day WoW experiences, there's always a need for a few buttons that can be easily changed to suit the situation at hand. I'm referring to items such as Skyguard Bombs, Yarzil's Mutton, Wrangling Rope, when doing dailies. However, when I drop into a raid, I don't need to worry about these items. Instead, I need quick and easy access to my targeting macro, any conjured mage food, warlock healing stones etc. I always use the same keys for these sort of flex-items. In my case, I use F5 through F8. So, it would be nice to be able to quickly and easily drag items into (you already got that part covered!) and out of a button. Additionally,even if a button is temporarily empty, such as the case when I'm doing neither questing nor raiding and I want the area to be clean and tidy, then it would be ideal if it could remember the keys that were bound to these buttons. Then, whenever I do drag an item into one of these buttons, it automatically has the F5-F8 keybinding there on the item. This would be so sweet if you could work something like this out. It would make LunerSphere extremely flexible for on-the-fly configuration as the situation warrants.

UI and LS with edit on so you can see all the little menus. LOVE this addon. Most of those buttons have hidden right/left/middle function or keybindings. This addons helps me keep my UI night and clean as well as manage repairing, reagents, etc. It's just awesome!

wow zenithan.... I almost felt like I was looking at a screenshot of my ui with a few differences. LS handles my bags and menu items (achievements, lfg, social, etc.) and my x-perl is arranged a little different.
