What is the #1 addon you are missing most right now.

Yeah, but there are a couple of things about the default UI that I just absolutely hate enough that if I couldn't get around them I wouldn't play the game. The big one is the default bar and the almost as big one is having access to class-specific spells/auras/stances in a pop-up menu button (the autobar class bar).

It's fine in the betas to be mucking about with the default UI, but I can't be productive with the default UI.

That, on the other hand, I've never seen the appeal of. I LIKE having separate bags. It's how I organize stuff. unequipped equipment in bag 5, quest items in bag 4, junk in the backpack and bag 2, misc overflow in bag 3. Normally I only open the backpack and maybe bag 2.

Fo9r a bar and All-In-One bags look in the McRun thread - I think Cogwheel wrote the whole macro-addon system to work in the alpha...

/run and /script is banned too, so no.

This last patch disabled the /run, /script, and /dump commands. Again, they would like you to test THEIR addons first.

Ah... not in the beta (mebbe if they offer - not really a dev in any way so I figure it's more important for those that can be helpful to get in there). Thanx for the info!

[AlleyKat]

lets make some addons via "/run"

lol /run not working ^(

Which is all very fine and well - but when you've replaced most of Blizz's interface with custom work, you put yourself in a "you don't know what you don't know" situation. That's my point. Not that it's good to use the default, but that it's good to get back in touch with the default every once in a while, to see if there are addons you're using that you CAN do without. It's not practical to do so on raid night, but beta's a nice opportunity.

All-in-ones will do that for you, automatically, except you can have more than five-subgroups. However, it's not for everyone, and it lacks the solid feeling of "this is in this bag". I'm like that with Windows 7 - libraries bug me, I want to work in a folder-based world.

Oh absolutely. And I do that myself at times by disabling everything but Dominos and running around on a lowbie 70-79 toon. But even then, I can't use blizzards own bars for more than a few minutes. I won't be able to do instances in the beta until they enable addons, for example. I can level a worgen though, the starting levels don't need a bar manager.

And when I am testing my own addon, I load ONLY that addon. Then I load my full set. If it works fine in both cases, I'm ready to upload.

oUF. I simply can't play with my unitframes in the top left of the screen and all this horrible artwork around it.

Second would be rActionbarstyler. Clean up that shiz.

Third is probably aBags. </3 I miss my pretty bags.

Oh and fourth is alleymap... Fullscreen map is too big and small map is too small.
