Possess bar support would be nice, for Chess events in KZ or Priest Mind-Controlling.
I think it's a fairly new feature (not sure if from Blizzard) where action bar 1 becomes the pet bar (aka "possessed" bar) when you gain the "Controlled Piece" buff.
Never played a Priest so I can't confirm that.
Right now if I assign actions (attack and spells) to bar 1 (and/or human form on my druid), bar 1 graphics don't change, but when I press key "1", instead of attack, I will gain an application circle on the ground the same way I would if I pick "move" on the pet/possess/mc bar.
Sorry if I managed to confuse someone.
Oh, and I know this is mentioned/promised, but I would REALLY LOVE to see square shaping for buttons and/or main sphere.
I kind of imported different squared shapes from Cycircled, but every time I relog, it gets re-shaped into odd circles.
Thanks for the awesome work!
(p.s. I tried to use LS as my only action bar, and it's worked so well! Now if I can only pray for Square shape...)

p.p.s. being able to specify how many rows or columns of the buttons would be awesome.
btw. are we now able to hide the detached menu button (the one we click to open all child buttons)?

I think the possessed bar might be a shapeshift bar, but I don't really know. I haven't done too much tinkering with it yet. I'll probably do some mind controlling sometime soon to see what's up. Do you have "Hide shapeshift bar" turned on in the "Others" tab? Maybe that's why you can't see the new bar? Square buttons are coming. The reason why you get the odd circle icon is because LS is hard-coded for circle buttons. Once I add square button support, you'll be able to cut the icons as circular, or leave them as square. More info to come when I finish it. I haven't been coding much these past two weeks due to finals and my getting hit with heat exhaustion (which is not fun). I will also let users pick "rows" to display for the menus, but this might not come until after the public release. I haven't decided, and I still need to finish the last few things I want to finish before this thing rolls out the door Probably another 2 months, knowing me, haha. As for hiding the menu button... nope, can't hide that button yet. But with a version that will be coming out soon, you will be able to set the menu to always be open, so it will never close ... essentially being an action button. However, it will have one of the action clicks tied up (middle click, most likely) and the left and right click will still let you do stuff, that way you can have an action bar of 13 buttons (or set the child button count of the menu button to 12 to have your 12 button bar again). I'll also allow users to set the menu up so it opens on mouse over (no need to click), set the delay before it closes, and ... I think that's it for the menu options. Click, hover, always open ...

Did I say Moon is awesome or what? I didn't do anything to the hide shapeshift bar, but I might've had addons that does it (for a while I use both LS for automation and Bartender4 for action bars, and I know Bartender4 allows the option to turn bar1 into possess bar, which might be different from shapshift paging, as there are options to page for BT4. Thanks for the square shape support. Sorry for being impatient. I'm so anxious to see the public release!!

I think LS should already work for this, not positive -- i s hould have checked it out while i was doing the c hess event the other day. Anyway, it's the pet bar that takes over the first action bar in your UI. Hope this gives you an idea Moon, but next time I do chess I'll hide my action bars and activate the pet bar in LS and see if that works -- at least i think LS can do this Or maybe LS just hides the pet bar, I can't remember. it rarely effects me because I don't play a hunter. Although now that I think about it, when i summon the shadowfiend I get an extra pet bar above my action bar 1. Ahh, the difference is because you cannot use any of your spells during the chess event that it takes over this action bar. The teron gorefiend fight in BT does the same thing, when you become a ghost you lose your action bar 1 and it becomes an action bar with like 5 buttons to hit. Some people with custom UIs are unable to access this bar.

The bar that appears above the action bar is called a "Bonus action bar" in the Blizzard code, if I remember correctly. The shadow fiend uses that one... and so does ... um ... other ... stuff I'll check if it's the same bar that mind control gives me. If it is, I'll see what I can do about it.

Just did the Gorefiend fight and it was a SEVERE pain as the bar showed up for a second, then disappeared as soon as the fight began. Wound up having to use CTRL+# to do the fight and without seeing CDs made the fight really difficult.
"Hide shapeshift bar" was not on.

i think the Tonk from Darkmoon Fare is the same. It doesn't let you use any other actions than Tonk actions anyway... and if my memory serves it replaced the main action bar back when I had one -long time, no Tonk-fights or anything similar...

Mind control worked fine what I needed. When the user chooses to hide the action bar, I assumed people wanted to hide the bonus action bar as well (the abilities given from MC and other special events), so I hid both bars. However, unless I'm mistaken, the bonus action bar doesn't come up normally UNLESS you do one of these special functions. So, I changed the code so it won't hide those buttons any longer and the MC works now, with the action bar hidden. So, this means that in the events with Gorefiend and the chess stuff, your bar will appear, but it will be the blizzard buttons that appear (without a background), and since it's temporary, it shouldn't matter much. I'll have that fix in the next version. Until then ... um ... you can choose to show the action bars in the "Other" tab, or you can add this wonderful macro that will show the bars. NOTE: This macro needs to be used once per UI reload, and it should be done BEFORE combat: macro: /script local i; for i = 1, 12 do Lunar.API:HideFrame(getglobal("BonusActionButton" .. i)); endHope that works for ya

Nope, mine doesn't show up as a "bonus bar". It pops up in the pet bar. Just did another "possession quest", bar appeared for a second, then disappeared again. "Hide Pet Action Bar" still left unchecked.

Do you have your action bar set to hide? I suppose we can try a "debug tab super fun time event!" In the debug tab, clear out the debug tooltip code textbox and then turn the check box on. This will enable the debug tooltip with no code inside, but all I need to know if the name of the buttons, and this will do it just fine. Next, go to the "Other" tab and make sure the action bar, pet bar, stance bar, and the bottom bar are shown. It might be best to make sure everything related to the bottom bar is shown, just in case. Next, if you do one of those possession events, the bar SHOULD appear and not disappear. Move your mouse over one of the buttons (in the center of the button is best, so we don't hit it's border or parent by accident) and hold CTRL and ALT to bring up the debug tooltip. It should say the name of the button on the top of the tooltip. Let me know what that name is Hopefully, this will help me track it down better

Has there been any more work on the square buttons? I noticed that in the skins, there are buttons that are square, but the actual icon is still round. It's like the round peg in the square hole theory Do you have plans on making set of true square buttons? Thanks!
