- About Bongos3
I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender3
Bongos3 is a main action bar replacement designed be both powerful, yet lightweight and easy to use.

Common Issues/FAQ
Again, check the wiki!. I'll post things here as people find them.
Is there a converter for settings between older versions of Bongos and Bongos3?
There will be no converter for settings from Bongos2 to Bongos3. The two addons are different enough in design that it would not be possible.
I cannot do anything during Teron Gorefiend, the Kara Chess Event, or when mind controlling an enemy!
Make sure you have whatever bar you've marked as being the possess bar as being shown. If no action bar is checked as being the possess bar, it will default to being the pet bar.
Where did the minimap bar go?
Bongos3 does not include a minimap bar. Try Bongos Cornucopia for it and a bunch of other things. The reason I did this was to try and focus the main package more on things related to breaking up the main bar.
Why is there no option for cooldown count?
Bongos does not include cooldown count. Try OmniCC. A long time ago, Bongos did actually include cooldown count. It was removed when I developed OmniCC simply because OmniCC has the ability to work on absolutely anything.
I cannot get my bar to change when I press shift+<number> or mousewheel!
You need to setup manual paging. Please refer to the wiki for more details.

wouterrr saidThese bars look excellent, but keybinding is aweful to say the least.
How do you guys keybind stuff while playing with bongos bars?
My old bindings still stand but I am afraid to move the spells cause I can't see which key I just bound, it's just fucking terrible.

Sonicandtails saidI'm aware you don't support it anymore, but I hope you can help me out with this problem anyways. Once I startup, the addon does not use my size settings (Spacing and such) but uses location settings. I have to go in to the Bongos configuration and (Clicking Set on the profile does no good since it says "Invalid Profile") save a copy and Set that one to get my settings back. Once I reboot or reload UI, Bongos does the same thing again, except I can click the first profile again and click Set. This is kind of obnoxious and I can't figure out what's causing the issue. Any help would be great!

Sonicandtails saidI created a quick fix for this. Say your character name is NAME. Create a second profile with the same settings as your normal one. For instance, profiles "NAME - (server)" and "NAME".
Then, using Autoexec_bat from here...
http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=2024
Set it up to autoexec on startup with the following commands...
"/autoexec add /bongos set NAME"
"/autoexec add /bongos set NAME - (server)"
That will fix the layout instantly on startup by swapping to the one you are currently not using (Both really being the same), fixing the sizing issue and any other settings not maintaining for some reason.

Darqish saidI love Bongos except for one thing. Whenever I make a new bar, this thick purply fading line shows up as well and it is attached to the newly created bar. If I delete the bar, the line is still there and only vanishes if I make another new bar.. to which it attaches itself to now. It's very distracting since I would like bars on the side of my screen. How do I kill it!?

johnzo saidPlease Help. I play on 2 computers, 1 @ home, 1 @ work. I run bongos3 on both pc's. It seems that everytime I switch between computers, my bars get all mixed up. So I basically have to re-config all bars twice a day during the week.I have tried saving profiles and such to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Crashman saidI think this has something to do with there being two different key binding config files (one on each computer). I had a similar issue last year when I used to play at work. I don't think this is specifically bongos related, I think this could happen with any addon that uses key bindings.
Anyway, the way I fixed my issue was to copy my WTF folder from one computer to the other. Keep in mind that if you do it that way, it will also copy settings for all your other addons. Alternatively you could probably dig through the WTF folder and find the one file that is specifically for key bindings.

Zenja saidI've been loving bongos, might try dominos once I figure out what I'd be losing if I switch.
Question:
(I did read the wiki, got paging working - I think)
When I drag some buttons over to a new bar (for warrior stance pages), it duplicates them and makes 3 button icons for that one that I dragged over.
I saw other people posting this, but didn't see a solution.

Tuller saidThere's no option to edit the buff window.
Also, I'm considering making a major update and porting over Dominos changes (button reuse, etc). No promises, though.

Tubben saidUnfortunally Dominos is by far not that flexible and powerfull like Bongos.
I for myself will use Bongos till it's broken, and then i have to look for an new Bar addon.
There is no way to complain that Bongos3 is no longer supported, but i can do some QQ :-)
Tuller, Bongos3 is by far the best BarAddon WoW ever had. Its very sad for me that you wont support it any longer.
