I've been going backwards and forwards on this mentally for frankly months. Done some experimentation on it too but nothing worth merging or looking at.

Basically I miss having the below layout.

I hate that Blizzard have made so many damn changes that as far as I can tell others are still having issues with. I really want to completely rip out Blizzards action bar code and not use it any more. I still obviously have all the old assets in the git history so can easily bring those back. Those assets plus some custom code would be a load of development work but I think it'd be worth it.

Action buttons are secure as all hell and touching them is blasphemy apparently. I opened an issue on Zorkers Roth UI repository asking for permission to possibly port in rActionBars which I could use to create secure button frames. But I initially had some conflicts with getting it to load. I still feel that this is potentially the best bet for solving this problem and bring back the correct action bars.

I seen this picture of three bars stacked when previewing the mod in wowup.io. And it seems its not a option? Its why i installed it. Im disappointed but like your style brother.
