Any posts/links to a guide on creating actionbars?

Im Fresh back to wow for wrath, and id like to use as few addons as possible, and do/make as much as possible with RDX. Im well on my way with all the new and current OOB's but im having bar issues. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

If you take a look at any of the OOBE's that Sigg or myself have uploaded they all contain action bars. Well I believe that Sigg's contain action bars. Ai UI and Novo UI do contain action bars. If you look at those they should help you with how to create them.

Ive been tinkering with the Cognac UI and ive figured out how to "edit" a barset.

Im just kinda not so good with raw creation lol

Well here is a basic how to guide to make an action bar then. This is off the top of my head so bear with me.

1. Create an ArtFrameType object and name it.
2. Edit the ArtFrameType object and add the arction bar feature.
3. Edit the action bar feature to display which buttons it is to use. RDX won't allow you to use button numbers more then once. Whenever I create action bars I usually just start off by using 1 then 10 and then 20 and so forth. That all depends on how many buttons you wont on the action bar though. As I usually just use 8 buttons per action bar I start with the next 10th digit as to not forget where I left off and the buttons are never trying to use the same ones from a previous action bar.
4. Edit how long or how many buttons you want on the action bar.
5. Currently you can NOT change the size of action bars through the feature editor but you can get around that with a simple scale of the window after creation with the layout feature and then change the window scale from there. Also select if you want the bar horizontal or vertical.
6. Add a texture to it if you want and a backdrop/border.
7. Make a new Window object and name it accordingly to the actionbar you are creating.
8. Edit the window to make it use an art frame and then select the art frame you just created for the action bar.
9. Open the window and it should be there up and going for you!
