    Hey Ayantir,

    I'm running out of keybindings. And this is why I'd like you to add a button to the main menu bar to open superstar.
    You can use the library LibMainMenu-2.0 to add a button, like FCOItemSaver, Votan Settings Menu, Potion Maker and other already use it.

    Example:

    Somwhere at the start of your addon
    Lua Code:
    1. --Create the libMainMenu 2.0 object
    2. local  LMM2 = LibStub("LibMainMenu-2.0")
    3. LMM2:Init()

    Somewhere in your addon's setings (if LAM 2.0 is used e.g.) or at a callback function for a chat slash command:
    Lua Code:
    1. local descriptor    = "Your addon name"
    2.             local callbackFnc   = function(buttonData)
    3.                 --What should happen if you press the button? Example: Show/Hide SuperStar window
    4.             end
    5.  
    6.             -- Add to main menu
    7.             local categoryLayoutInfo =
    8.             {
    9.                 --Binding must be registered like normal with function ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_YOURADDON_MAIN_MENU_BUTTON", "Hide/Show Superstar")
    10.                 binding = "YOURADDON_MAIN_MENU_BUTTON",
    11.                 categoryName = SI_BINDING_NAME_YOURADDON_MAIN_MENU_BUTTON,
    12.                 callback = callbackFnc,
    13.                 visible = function(buttonData)
    14.                     --Assumed that a setting is handling the visibility of the button at the main menu
    15.                     retun settings.showMainMenuButton
    16.                 end,
    17.                 --Specify your used graphics for the button here
    18.                 normal    = "esoui/art/..._up.dds",
    19.                 pressed   = "esoui/art/..._down.dds",
    20.                 highlight = "esoui/art/..._over.dds",
    21.                 disabled  = "esoui/art/..._disabled.dds",
    22.             }
    23.             LMM2:AddMenuItem(descriptor, categoryLayoutInfo)
