My Action Bars Went Bongos!

by Angelo on November 14th, 2007

I’m quite proud to say that before patch 2.3 came out, I never used any other user interface (UI) except the default one. It served me very well, that is until patch 2.3. Before the patch, I had exactly the amount of action bars to put all the buttons I needed. But as you know, the patch gave mages a new spell called Ritual of Refreshment which allows us to supply a whole raid group with an item that acts like food and water at the same time.

I normally don’t read about UI’s since I never found the need for them but now I seriously needed more action buttons. I came across Bongos! Apparently it’s been around for a while now since there already is a Bongos 2. It’s a nice UI that allows me to customize the placement and size of my the action bars while adding more buttons. I now have way more buttons than I currently need. But with Wrath of the Lich King coming, that will mean more spells and abilities. That mean with Bongos I don’t need to worry about where to put those new spells when the time comes.

Above is a screen shot of the way my action bars look with Bongos 2. I’m happy with the buttons but I have to admit I need more practice trying to make it look cleaner. It’s kinda messy now.

Also, if you’re familiar with Bongos, I need your help. I can’t find the - and = buttons. That’s my blink and cone of cold. They still work but I can’t find them. Please help. Thanks

    I’ve never used Bongos before but I may start. It sounds pretty sweet!

    I just use CTmod. It has almost everything you need and its all in one menu. I hate having 35 little icons around my mini map. Between CTmod, Auctioneer, Titan Panel, and Monkeyquest, there isnt anything else I need. Oh…Equipmentcompare and moveablebags are a godsend.

    actually I got the hang of using Bongos already. Pretty easy when you figure it out. I still need to rearrange all my buttons though so they look cleaner. I like how you can customize the size of the buttons and even the rows and columns though!

    I downloaded and starting using Bongos on my Pally. I don’t know why I didn’t use it before. I still can’t get over how easy it is to setup and use.

    Yeah I would imagine how much easier Bongos would make a hybrid’s job easier with so many spells to account for. Bongos should make a healers job easier especially with all those down-ranked heals they use at times.
