Would you consider changing the icon for transmute crystals to the system default of 3-4 crystals in a pile rather than the huge single one that is the current icon? I think the pile looks a lot better myself.

Hi Badger,

Thanks so much for jumping on this so quickly! Really appreciate the PvP visibility tweak.

That's cause I have a painfully detail-oriented brain that's always looking for shortcuts (and some selfishly-motivated interest in UX design)

Here's a few more now that I've set up the bars of my dreams (once again, I share these free of expectations and appreciate any time you give it at any point in the future, I also know I've committed some word count crimes in this post):

New update:

1. BarSteward settings have disappeared from my add-on settings window, here's the error code:
Pre-update general usage:

2. So the bar-level "Show in X scene" settings don't seem to be working as expected. As an example, I've set up a "wallet" bar which shows various currencies. I had it set to "Show in Inventory/Bank/Mail", all together as well as individually. The bar stays on my screen when I'm not in those scenes and hides when I am in them, whether the setting is on or not (this seems to be the case for every bar that is not set to "Show everywhere"). The widgets are all of the ones in the 'Currency' category.

My workaround has been to assign keybinds to the bars I don't want to be persistent, but there's a bit of a delay between the keybind press and bar showing or hiding, and sometimes seem to not work entirely.

QoL feature ideas:

3. Time Until Reset
The idea here is to have a widget that just shows time until reset with optional (weekly reset) following. There are a bunch of widgets that already cover this, essentially, since reset time for various activities is the same, so I recognise this maybe this has limited value - I've just added one of the existing timers to my clocks bar with the icon hidden. Totes up to you.

4. 'Crime' mode detection
So I've set up a 'crime' bar which includes:
- bounty timer
- bounty amount
- fence transactions
- laundry transactions

Everything is set to auto-hide so I only see it when a value changes or a bounty is active. This works, somewhat. The behaviour I'm trying to create is that the bar is hidden when I'm not busy thieving, or in this case specifically, when I don't have any stolen items in my inventory or an active bounty. But the fence/launder transactions are persistent once it's at anything but 0 transactions used.

So perhaps an easier way to approach this could be to again have a bar-level setting that checks for any of these:
a. thieves guild/DB daily
b. stolen items in inventory
c. active bounty
If only one was to be implemented, they all have their drawbacks and don't cover all bases. a - people (ahem, me) often have quests just sat in their log with no intention of completing them in the foreseeable future. b - not relevant for people working on DB. c - not helpful for high sneak characters.

I also didn't suggest 'is sneaking' because sneaking is useful outside of those contexts as well.


5. Slash commands! As an alternative to keybinds, would you consider letting users optionally set up slash commands to show/hide bars?

I personally prefer this method to keybinds as my memory is crap and it's easier for me to remember words or acronyms over random key combinations (plus the ZOS keybind limit). How I imagine it working is that along with specifying a name for the bar, users could specify a slash command (see per-guild custom slash commands in rChat - but I plead ignorance if this kind of behaviour is an entirely different best).

If this is possible, I imagine it'd be extra awesome if this could actually enable or disable a bar for performance reasons (as far as I understand, bars with e.g. auto-hidden widgets on are still processing and running). I don't think this would conflict with those bars we want to show up automatically in certain contexts as they'd be hidden outside of those contexts anyway and there'd be no need to manually activate them.

Minor QoL tweaks so it may become the one bar to rule them all:

6. The Daily Crafting Writs widget, icon view
I use something similar but love the idea of switching to BarSteward and further customising it with timers and such.

The one thing I enjoy about that one is that Master Writ status is also indicated - via different colours (and iirc separate colour coding if you have e.g. daily and waster writ active). So some kind of Master Writ quest status indicator functionality added to the existing widget would be awesome (I'm just forever on a quest to trim down my list of add-ons and somehow end up with 10 more every week).


----------

Question for my own understanding: I saw some references that hint that 'timers' may cause performance issues in e.g. PvP. So obviously I imagine anything like research timers, time until reset counts as timers - do clocks count as well?

Thanks many! Hope the way to the bottom of this post wasn't too painful.

Hey, thanks for creating this - it's quickly becoming one of my favourite add-ons and (thankfully) replacing many scattered, inconsistent display bars from other addons. A couple questions:

1. When I have background display enabled (horizontal bars), there seems to be an issue with some of the widget icons having no padding when they're the first widget on the bar. What this results in is that they're aligned with the very edge of the bar background. Is there a way I'm missing to adjust this?

2. If not, could a global option setting be added to adjust padding of the bar? A bit like the adjustable text padding, except this would apply to the all the widgets in relation to the bar frame itself (hope this makes sense).

3. Is there a way to make a bar display only in PvP? I know certain widgets have this option, but my 'PvP bar has some widgets that do not. If not, could this be added or can all widgets get the 'show in pvp only' option?

Some other QoL bits for your consideration:

4. It's be great to be able to globally adjust appearance of all of the bars (particularly background and frame as well as scaling) with per-bar override options.

5. It'd be awesome to be able to globally and per-bar adjust font styling (e.g. thick shadow, outline, etc) for better visibility when backgrounds are disabled.

Thank you for working on this! Do you accept in-game donations?

Fair enough. Thanks for looking into it anyways.

Well works! Since the buff is never more than 30 mins can you have a clock option for MM:SS?

Speeds seem to work now.

Continuous Attack doesn't seem to detect (this one is 10 minutes max so best time format would be MM:SS).

3.1.9 new options...

Enlightenment looks great!

TY for color options. I'll check this out more tomorrow.

End of campaign reward tier is showing red "requires RewardTracker" I use "Rewards Tracker", could it be that it is looking for the wrong addon name?

Speed seems to quit working. This happened in the version prior but I wasn't sure if it was a fluke. Will test more later. Just doing some initial testing tonight before hitting the sack.

"Fortified Ayleid Health Bonus" isn't detecting the 10% health bonus.

I'll check out the rest of the PVP items in the next couple of days. Very cool stuff!

Ok two more requests. Sorry.. I'm needy.

Continuous Attack while in PVP
Ayleid Well (while in PVP)

I love that you created the option to show the player location only when in PVP. Could you do the opposite for current zone? This way it won't show cyrodiil.

Again, awesome job on this addon!
