G-15 Friends version of Bars

This is an extremely low priority wish list

that would help me and I am sure others.

I use a G-15 keyboard and use the G keys for many of my bindings. What would be perfect would have action page 3 have 3 columns and 4 have 1 column or at least the option to put Action Page 4 next to action page 3. The actually bindings could still be as they currently are for the purpose of functionality, just the visual location of half the buttons change.

Then you can have a visual cue to which G key to press because it now matches what your keyboard looks like, 6 Rows by 3 Columns.

As I said, just a long shot with list

You can actually do that already -- edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua ] and location the action bar section. You can change the value of the "rows =" and "cols = " entries for each bar to change the geometry of it (i.e. "rows = 6" and "cols = 2" would do what you're looking for.

This does adjust the number of rows for a particular bar, however it does not adjust the Unit Panels, mini map and location to the right to compensate for that extra column on the left.

My question is do I need to adjust every single file to compensate, or can I adjust 1 location that they all are relative to?

Yes, you would have to locate the layout files for the parts of the interface that you wish to relocate and adjust them accordingly. Also, make sure you keep a copy somewhere and a note like ( -- Changed -- ) at the end of the line you are changing so that when the next update comes out it isn't fully lost and you can redo it as you wish.

Well this confuses me then, for everything I want to move says it references the NUI Dashboard, yet I can find no actually setting for this. I try and move individual items that us e the reference point and nothing happens.

I was able to move the chat windows, which is something I don't want to move. They are anchored off the bars nor the dashboard.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I would not think I would have to adjust every file in the solo, raid's area to make this work.

Also, adjusting the number of rows, columns of a bar beyond 12 does mess with the key bindings. It gives you a term like click keys or something like that, forget exactly what it said. I does keep the icons that were set however, and they work.

Am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?

File : nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua

Example Section : nUI_DefaultConfig.ChatFrame =

There are also other sections in there that you may or may not need

These have xOfs, yOfs, width, height and even scale that can be changed and tested until they fit to your taste.

That file should be all you need to move things to reflect your new action bar size. The solo/party/raid frames will need to be changed individually if you need those changed but that shouldn't be the case.
