• Per-spec enable/disable: show the bar only on selected specializations.
• Texture picker with live preview (supports LibSharedMedia if available).
• Border: on/off with adjustable edge size.
• Background color with opacity (color picker).
• Text display formats:
  • Current / Max (xx%)
  • Current / Max
  • Percent only
  • Current only
• Opacity (alpha) control.
• Precise positioning (X/Y) with sliders and numeric inputs.
• Scrollable Settings panel (fits all options neatly).

Compatibility

Game: Retail (modern builds).

Resource types: Uses Blizzard’s API (UnitPower, UnitPowerMax, UnitPowerType), so it adapts to your class/spec automatically.

Dependencies

None required.

Optional: LibSharedMedia-3.0 (if present, SkyBar’s texture picker will list your LSM statusbar textures).

Performance & Safety

Very small footprint; updates only on relevant power events.

No automation or gameplay alteration; ToS-friendly.

No tracking, telemetry, or external network calls.

Localization

English UI. If you’d like to contribute translations, feel free to provide strings (labels are short and easy to translate).

Troubleshooting

Bar not visible?

Check Per-spec toggles (enabled for your current spec).

Ensure Alpha is not set too low and Text is on if you expect numbers.

Texture looks clipped at the corners?

Border is drawn above the bar; fill/background are inset to avoid bleed. Try a different texture if you prefer a flatter look.

Settings panel too long?

The panel is scrollable; use your mouse wheel or the scrollbar.

Known Limitations

The border uses the default tooltip edge; custom border artwork is not included by default.

Text size and font are fixed to the game’s standard small highlight font (by design for consistency).
