## Overview
Twintop's Resource Bar (TRB) is a fully customizable resource bar addon that supports all 13 classes and 40 specializations in World of Warcraft. Whether you're tracking Rage, Mana, Energy, Insanity, or any other resource, TRB provides a unified interface with threshold markers, secondary resource tracking, health monitoring, and major cooldown timers.
The addon is designed to give you the information you need at a glance, with visual and audio cues to help you make split-second decisions during combat.
---
## Customization
TRB is built with customization at its core. Nearly every aspect of the addon can be tailored to fit your UI and playstyle.
### Bar Visibility
Every bar can be shown or hidden independently with granular, mix-and-match visibility conditions:
- Combat state: In Combat, In Vehicle
- Mount state: Is Mounted (Any), Ground Mount, Skyriding, Steady Flight
- Target state: Friendly Target, Hostile Target
- Group state: In Group, In Raid Group
- Instance state: In Instance, In Dungeon, In Raid Instance, In Delve, In Battleground, In Arena
- PvP state: PvP Flagged
- Resource and health thresholds (percentage or raw value)
- Per-bar opacity and fade-out configuration
- Hidden bars maintain their layout height so other bars don't shift position
### Size and Position
- Adjustable width and height for primary and secondary resource bars
- Pixel-precise positioning with horizontal and vertical offsets
- Anchor bars to other bars for automatic relative positioning, or position each bar independently
- Position bars via Edit Mode or classic X/Y offset settings
### Colors
- Separate color settings for bar fill, border, and background
- Indicator Color System: state-based color changes that can target any combination of bars and elements (fill, border, background) with configurable priority ordering
- Optional gradient color transitions for bar fills and casting overlays
- Per-threshold colors: under resource threshold, over resource threshold, unusable, out of range -- each overridable per-threshold with static or per-state colors
- Per-threshold visibility overrides (e.g., hide when unusable)
- Individual node coloring for secondary resources
- Node border overlap option for multi-node bars (Combo Points, Runes, etc.)
- Global color settings that apply across all specializations (e.g., Health Bar colors)
### Textures and Fonts
- Full LibSharedMedia integration for custom textures and fonts
- Independent texture settings for primary bar, secondary nodes, and custom bars (Stagger, Mana, Defensives)
- Configurable font face, size, color, outline, and shadow for all text elements
### Audio Notifications
- Customizable sound cues triggered by resource thresholds or proc events
- Per-threshold audio cues that play when a threshold becomes usable
- Secondary resource audio cues (Combo Points, Holy Power, Soul Shards, Chi, Arcane Charges, Maelstrom Weapon) that fire independently of bar visibility, triggering only during combat
- LibSharedMedia support for custom sounds
- Configurable audio output channel
### Bar Text
TRB features a powerful bar text system that lets you display exactly the information you want, where you want it. Create multiple text entries with independent positioning, fonts, and colors. Bar text entries use shared font settings by default; per-entry overrides are available for full control.
Global Bar Text entries can be configured in the Global Options "Bar Text" tab and shared across all specializations. Each specialization has an opt-in toggle to prepend global entries before its own.
Use variables like `$resource`, `$comboPoints`, `$haste`, `$gcd`, and `$inCombatTime` to display live data, or `#casting` to show spell icons. Bar text also supports conditional logic with Boolean operators for dynamic displays.
For multi-node bars (Combo Points, Runes, Soul Shards, etc.), bar text can be anchored to the bar group as a whole or to individual nodes.
The bar text editor includes a searchable variable browser with descriptions and icons, allowing you to find and insert variables directly at the cursor position. Full undo/redo support is available via standard Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z (or Ctrl+Y) keyboard shortcuts.
For complete documentation on available variables and advanced formatting, check out the [Bar Text Customization Wiki](https://github.com/Twintop/TwintopInsanityBar/wiki/Bar-Text-Customization).
### Import and Export
Share your configuration with others or back up your settings:
- Export individual sections (colors, thresholds, fonts, audio) or entire spec configurations
- Import configurations from other players
- Compressed export strings using Blizzard's `C_EncodingUtil` with Deflate compression for smaller sizes (legacy import strings remain compatible)
### Options Window
- Dedicated movable options window accessible via `/trb` or the minimap button
- Toggle the minimap button with `/trb minimap show` and `/trb minimap hide`
- Access and modify any class specialization's settings regardless of your current class
- Lazy-loaded settings panels to reduce memory usage
- Options organized across multiple focused tabs for easier navigation
### Global Settings
- Apply common settings across all classes and specializations from the "Global Options" screen
- Changes are immediately reflected across all specializations
- Includes Health Bar colors, and more
- Per-bar smooth animation settings instead of a single global toggle
- Optional abbreviated number formatting (e.g., 10.0K, 1.5M) for large numbers across all bars

## Features
### Edit Mode Integration
Full integration with WoW's native Edit Mode system, allowing you to position and manage the resource bar alongside other UI elements:
- **Per-Layout Settings** - Edit Mode configuration is saved separately for each HUD layout, so you can have different positions and settings for each
- **Free Position Mode** - Place the bar anywhere on screen with drag-and-drop positioning while in Edit Mode
- **Per-Bar Edit Mode Control** - Any bar anchored to the screen can be independently controlled by Edit Mode, including anchoring to the Cooldown Manager
- **Bar-to-Bar Anchoring** - Anchor bars to other bars for automatic relative positioning instead of using manual X/Y offsets from the Primary Resource Bar
- **Anchor to Cooldown Manager** - Optionally anchor any screen-anchored bar above or below Blizzard's Cooldown Manager Essential Abilities frame
- **Anchor to Any Frame** - Anchor bars to any named frame in addition to the Cooldown Manager
- **Match Cooldown Manager Width** - When anchored to the Cooldown Manager, optionally match its width for a cohesive look
- **Vertical Offset** - Fine-tune vertical spacing when anchored to the Cooldown Manager
- **Reset Edit Mode Data** - Clear all stored Edit Mode layout data from the "Reset Defaults" tab in Global Options
### Primary Resource Bar
Every spec gets a primary resource bar that tracks your main resource (Mana, Rage, Energy, Focus, Runic Power, Fury, Insanity, Astral Power, or Maelstrom). The bar includes:
- **Threshold lines** showing the cost of your abilities, color-coded by availability. Thresholds are managed via a sortable, searchable table with a detail panel for per-threshold configuration including icon display (visibility, position, size, border width), color overrides, visibility overrides, and audio cues. A Threshold Shared Settings tab provides defaults for threshold colors, line dimensions, and icon settings across all thresholds for a specialization.
- **Predictive cast resource overlay** for some specs, showing expected resource changes during your current cast as an overlay on the bar or via bar text
- **Maximum display customization** allows the bar to fill to a lower value than your maximum resource; useful for specs like Assassination Rogue with threshold lines and very high maximum resource pools
- **Overcapping resource alert** change the bar border and resource text color when almost full on resources for specs with fast auto-regennerating resources (i.e. Rogues) and those with builder/spender playstyles (i.e. Shadow)
### Secondary Resource Nodes
Many specs have a secondary resource displayed as individual nodes above or below the primary bar:
- **Arcane Charges** (Arcane Mage)
- **Bone Shield** (Blood Death Knight) - up to 12 nodes, disabled by default
- **Chi** (Windwalker Monk)
- **Combo Points** (Feral Druid, Assassination/Outlaw/Subtlety Rogue)
- **Ebon Might** (Augmentation Evoker) - separate bar tracking remaining duration
- **Essence** (Devastation/Preservation/Augmentation Evoker) - displayed with timer-based regeneration progress
- **Holy Power** (Holy/Protection/Retribution Paladin)
- **Icicles** (Frost Mage) - up to 5 stacks
- **Holy Words** (Holy Priest) - individually toggleable and reorderable cooldown nodes for Holy Word: Serenity, Sanctify, and Chastise with real-time cooldown progress and CDR tracking
- **Lightweaver** (Holy Priest) - per-stack nodes with duration timer, disabled by default
- **Maelstrom Weapon** (Enhancement Shaman) - 5 or 10 stacks with a dedicated color for the 5th stack
- **Power Words** (Discipline Priest) - cooldown nodes for Power Word: Radiance with real-time cooldown progress
- **Runes** (Blood/Frost/Unholy Death Knight) - 6 individual runes with cooldown timers
- **Soul Fragments** (Vengeance/Devourer Demon Hunter)
- **Soul Shards** (Affliction/Demonology/Destruction Warlock) - Destruction displays partial fragments
- **Tip of the Spear** (Survival Hunter) - up to 3 stacks with duration timer
- **Whirlwind Charges** (Fury Warrior) - up to 4 charges with separate colors for 1-charge and 2-charge states, optional 0-charge background color, and cooldown remaining
### Utility Resource Bars
Some specs have utility bars that track non-combat or situational abilities as their own bar group, independent of the primary and secondary resource bars. These are disabled by default.
- **Angelic Feather** (Priest) - charges and cooldown
More utility resource bars are coming soon!
### Health Bar
A dedicated health bar is available for all specs, providing an at-a-glance view of your current health with customizable color thresholds. An optional absorb shield overlay displays your current absorb amount on the health bar with four display modes:
- **Overlay (from left)** - renders the absorb amount as a semi-transparent overlay on top of the health bar, filling from the left edge
- **Appended** - extends the absorb shield visually past the end of your current health fill, clipped to the bar's right edge
- **Appended (Overflow)** - same as Appended, but allows the overlay to extend past the bar's right edge when the absorb amount exceeds maximum health
- **Overlay (from right / inset)** - fills leftward from the end of your current health, overlapping the health bar from right to left
The absorb overlay has its own configurable texture and color, and the current absorb amount is available as a bar text variable (`$absorb`).
An optional incoming heals overlay displays predicted incoming healing on the health bar, with the value available as a bar text variable (`$incomingHeal`).
### Druid Shapeshifting
Switch between Astral Power, Energy + Combo Points, Rage, and Mana bars to match your current Druid shapeshift form -- including unique bar text and threshold lines. Combo Points can be displayed in all shapeshift forms with per-specialization visibility control.
### Void Metamorphosis and Collapsing Star Bar
Devourer Demon Hunter have a bar that tracks both Void Metamorphosis and Collapsing Star, based on current buffs, in addition to a Fury bar.
### Secondary Mana Bar
Some DPS specs that may need to off-heal in a pinch have a secondary mana bar available (disabled by default):
- Balance Druid
- Elemental Shaman
- Shadow Priest
### Stagger Bar (Brewmaster Monk)
Brewmaster Monks get a dedicated Stagger bar that displays current stagger damage as a percentage of maximum health. The bar includes configurable thresholds for Medium, Heavy, and Extremely Heavy stagger levels, with color transitions as stagger severity increases. The maximum stagger percentage displayed by the bar can be set above 100% of maximum health. Stagger levels and colors are set to Blizzard's defaults but can be freely customized to suit your preferences and needs.
### Defensives Bar (Protection Warrior)
Protection Warriors have a specialized Defensives bar that tracks the remaining duration of key defensive abilities. Each Defensive bar can be enabled or disabled independently and reordered.
- **Ignore Pain (Time)** -- duration remaining
- **Ignore Pain (Absorb)** -- absorb stack count (0–100)
- **Shield Block** -- duration remaining and available charges
### Major Cooldown Tracking
Many specs can track important buff status and timers via color changes and directly in bar text variables:
| Spec | Tracked Cooldowns |
| ------ | ------------------- |
| Havoc/Vengeance/Devourer Demon Hunter | (Void) Metamorphosis |
