you could do without clique now, and just use grid plus repeater regions. Or better yet, make your own grid by using clickbars... which are already built into ISBoxer.

Isn't that a bit much? Why not just click the grid cell?
Is it? Given your computer resource limits, personally, I would prefer to do the clickbars vs the memory load the addons will do, when the ability to do the same thing is already being used by ISBoxer.
And I think the time towards making the clickbars is very comparable to the time to locate the addons, download them, put them in the folder, restart WoW, and then spend more time configuring them.
But yes. I mean to say make a clickbar for each one of your toons. Hell, make it "Grid-shaped" if you want, even with the grid colors...
I personally like the addon more than Click Bars.
But like that you can do close to the same, without needing an addon, which means in just about any game.
The addons aren't hard to find or install, once you've used an addon or two that process is simplistic.
Either:
a) Vuhdo
b) Healbot
c) Grid + GridCustomLayouts + Clique
An alphabetical sort, or a copy paste of someone's CustomLayout doesn't take too long.
For me, making the ClickBars would take much longer, but the practice in using a useful IS Boxer feature would be good.
The IS Boxer ClickBar would eventually be exactly as you want it to appear, rather than exactly the same as someone else configured their addons to appear.
I like that the addon (Grid, Healbot, Vuhdo) can show relative health levels.
As in 75% of the Grid is one color, representing a 75% loss in health.
I like that you can show buffs or debuffs on the Grid frame.
I could be wrong here, but I'm not sure you can have the ClickBar change color (as a percentage of the bar, proportional to damage taken by the character).
Both are good tools.
You could easily configure the ClickBar to heal based on where you click it.
You could easily configure it to be a specials or Battle Rez tool, and manage BR across the entire team fairly easily.
A ClickBar is a graphical clicked upon trigger for mapped keys, which are far stronger than a healing addon at running say round-robin effects.
How would I go about making a ClickBar that shows any combination of my five toons (one per account) in column one.
And the rest of the raid (up to 35 other players) in the remaining columns.
In such a way, that the ordering is the same for every character on the team?
Is there a way for a ClickBar to change color based on the health of the unit it represents.
Could I go "Green" when at full health, "Yellow" when between 50-75% health, "Orange" when between 25-50% health, and "Red" when under 25% health?
Or even display proportional coloring (as the Addons do), showing the relative health of the unit the bar represents?
Sorry Ualaa. I think perhaps, my point got lost at some time. I didnt mean to imply clickbars were better. Just thought he could accomplish nearly the same thing solely for the sake of his resource issues with a lower performance system. Especially given that hes about capped out at what he can do.
Im not anti-Grid. I used it. I like it. But then again, my computer systems tech is much improved from the previous posts.
anyway, that was the point.
