Action Bar Addon That works well with Druid forms.

Was wondering if there are any suggestions for an actionbar addon that works well with druid forms? I downloaded the addon Bongos but am having trouble setting it up. Was wondering if there was a more user friendly Actionbar addon I could use?

Bartender - very easy to configure
Bongos - never really tried this one..
Discord Action Bars - the most complex. you can configure just about anything, but may seem overwhelming to new users.

A good version of bongos is this one: http://addons.us.to/addon/bongos

A good video can be found here:

 

The point "scripts" is the important one for shapeshifting. You can configure it to change a bar (bar 1 for example) to another bar (bar 6 for example) when buff X happens (Cat Form for example). In my example, you would "hide" bar 6, so that is only visible (in position of bar 1) when you are in Cat Form. The same can be done for Bear Form, too (using another bar of course, for example 7) and also for Prowl (Ravage and Pounce are only useable while stealthed anyway).

Advantage over blizzards UI: You can shapeshift without any delay (and without the use of macros), the moving bar animation of stock Blizzard UI is eliminated.

btw, Supermacro doesn't work well with Bongos. But I don't feel the need for it anymore, because Bongos has the same "show tooltip"-functionality that Supermacro has.

 

Bartender is another solid addition, but it is compareable in difficulty and I had problems with using it for Prowl.

Oh and as a last note: Use only the English client with bongos/bartender. My German client was not able to work with Prowl bar switching :(

Im using bongos.You can setup the action bars you want to use.Im using the same one for basic spells,bear,cat,stealth.Theres an option somewhere in the bongos menu to play with these.If i remember correctly(im at work now ) ive added 3 uses for the same action bar.Bear 1-6.Cat 1-5.Stealth 1-4.Those were the values i used.Basically wherever value 1 its the base actionbar you want to use in every form.And the other value is for the rest of the hidden bongos actionbars you arent using.I hope i didnt confuse you too much lol.
