EB64,

I've uploaded, as an add-on, the semi-transparent version of the Magma II mainbar, suitable for either the regular or NFP version (or both, if you like, of course). As soon as it's approved, you should find it in the add-on's section. I decided that, instead of modifying the whole of Shae Onyx for this request, that an add-on was the better course of action.

I hope it's what you were looking for.

I think I can manage to do a semi-transparent mainbar add-on for you that's a simple graphics replacement, if you like.

How do you feel about deep purple and black chrome?

Maybe call it Amethyst instead of Onyx... since it's transparent and purple.

LOL Actually, the new design is called "Nightshade". It should be done some time this week.

Hey, I have an odd issue... in the main bar area of Shae Onyx, I have the default bar 0, and bars 1-3 lined up over the skin background. Bars 0-2 are fine, but each time I log in bar 3 appears behind the skin instead of in front of it. I have the bars set up like so...

111111111111 333333333333
000000000000 222222222222

I can fix it each time by unlocking the UI elements and dragging it back on top, but if there is some way to stop it from happening anymore I'd like to fix it.

TBH, I've no idea why it does that. I've had it happen with every skin I've ever downloaded and used that has room to cover more bars. I've tried everything from redocking and undocking, unchecking and rechecking always show...

We can't change the layer order the elements reside in, and we can't change anything about the movable bars. Because of this, I've reached the conclusion that it's a server side issue of some sort that causes it to hide behind all elements when the bar loses "focus" (when it isn't the last thing used). It's the only bar that seems to do this.

I arrived at a point where I just put bar 4 there and rekeymap everything. I did this with the first ui I downloaded. *shrugs* Hopefully Frosty knows this happens and can figure something out.

Perhaps when Book 10 comes out and there's more we can do with the elements, I can figure out what causes it...

That's what I ended up doing as well - at first I thought it was something to do with the skin in that area, but I tried other bars in that area and they didn't get hidden, so I just swapped it with 4.

Is there a way to control where docked bars (besides bar 0) appear? Can bars be rearranged, such as making two rows of 6 buttons each, instead of one row with 12?

Khanon

No, not at this stage of things, anyway. Bars dock and are grouped by amounts/shapes via elements we don't have any control over at this time. When/if those abilities are ever put in, that will make for a greater variety of bars for all authors to create. It's one of the many things we're hoping for in the near future.
