Need Good Looking / Using Bars Addon.. that uses low memory

[Enti]

Currently I've been using Trinity bars for over a year, they're great. Completely customizable in every way I want them to be. Size, shape, angle, number of buttons, transitions, the way keybindings done w/ them also. Only problem is Trinity is using a hell of alot of memory now for some reason and literally bringing down my fps by 20-30. (I've tested it several times w/ just trinity on & off, difference is 20-30 fps every time)

So, I'm in need of a good bars addon that is as good as trinity.. but doesn't make my computer seem like crap

Trinity is great, isn't it? If you are a configuration junkie you could try InfiniBar or FlexBar with hopes that they wouldn't hog as much memory. I think Bongos would probably be as bad as Trinity in that regard.

Yeah I love trinity.. just don't know why it's hogging up so much.. never used to.
plus it's annoying me by not letting my put macros / spells onto my bars.. empty buttons and can't put anything in them. /grr.

I don't know about the memory useage. Are you using Fu_PerformanceFu or something similar that tells you just how much each mod is using?

I've had that problem with the empty buttons as well. I found that I could make it work by using Button Edit to change the button type to macro or whatever. I don't know why sometimes it prevents you from dropping in a spell or macro. You might check the Trinity forum at WoWInterface.

Yeah I'm using performance fu, it's telling me how much it uses.. and it's about 10x all my other addons on the memory usage with increasing rate all the time..

I posted about it, hoping for response support I'll let you know on how to fix that if I get the answer

Have you tried Bartender, can't really say how much resources it uses, because I don't like to use resource monitors because I think they use up too many resources by constantly monitoring resources

When I first started with trinity bars I couldn't drop in spells or macros into the bars either. I noticed the little green icon at the top of the macro/spellbook frame. This is to toggle binding directly. If you click that to disable macro/spell binding it should allow you to drag and drop the macros and spells into the buttons. That is the only thing I ran into that sounds like what you're going through. I haven't checked exactly how much memory trinity is using, but I will say it's not the top 3 of my addons. Questhelper is #1 on mem usage(15mb), then MobInfo2(8mb), and third is informant(3.5mb). I haven't done to much crazy stuff with trinity such as binding directly. I pretty much just have 5 custom bars made and everything is dropped into those bars. Maybe you're using more functionality then I am.

On a side note about trinity bars. I have 1 through = my main, then shift 1 through = my alts. I bind on my main shift 1 through = to empty bars, but trinity doesn't cath the input to prevent the keypress. I have to go into bindings and set them to an empty action bar in blizzs ui so that it catches the keypress. I.e. 4 is frost shock on main, and shft 4 is frost shock on alt. I hit shft+4. Main and alts frost shock. I bind shft4 to an empty blizz action bar as opposed to trinity bar.. shift+4 only alt frost shocks. This wouldn't be that much of an issue as once the bindings are in it all works, but the kicker is the bindings reset everytime I login, therefore making it so I have to bind the keys. I keep meaning to add them manual to the bindings-cahce.wtf file.

Have you tried Bartender...

It's what I use, and I love it. I haven't tried any of the other mentioned bar add-ons... there's never been a need. Bartender doesn't seem to be much of resource hog.
