I have just started Forever, and I have played a lot on retail. On retail I have a bunch of addons, on Forever I thought I'd try out Ellesmere. I like it, at least it seems I will as soon as Blizzard fixes their loadstate bug.
However, one functional item from addons I use in retail is not built into Ellesmere, and it kinda looks like a showstopper for me personally.
Specifically, I have a UI that is almost entirely hidden. Action bars is never visible, not even in combat, unless I hold down ctrl, shift and alt simultaneously. Obviously I don't use my action bars as click-bars, I only show them if I need to reference stuff. The bars also show up when dragging stuff around, like placing a new skill.
In retail I solved this using Dink's Immersive UI addon, which lets me add custom show/hide filters on the action bars. I would like for Ellesmere to have this as well, in addition to all the stuff already there. It could be as simple as a conditions prefix, added before whatever the Ellesmere addon already customizes.
The specific filter I have been using in retail:
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift] show; [cursor] show; hide
This shows the action bar if I hold down ctrl+shift+alt, or if I have a draggable action on the cursor, otherwise it stays hidden.
I would like to suggest adding a "custom" checkbox, which lets me put in a conditions prefix, which will be placed before the conditions string that Ellesmere builds, so I could type in this:
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift] show
I would then set the rest of the checkboxes to never, or similar, and the full string, the custom one + a semicolon + the generated one would be built and installed on the bar frames by the addon.
I know it's a long shot asking for this, but I won't get it if I don't ask :)
