A Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) plugin that displays configurable quickslot bars which automatically swap when the player switches their active class specialization (trait line).
Author: Souru
Version: 0.0.2
- Multiple independent quickslot bar windows per trait line (Red / Yellow / Blue)
- Bars swap automatically when you change your active specialization — no manual action required
- Each bar is independently resizable (in quickslot-unit increments) and freely repositionable
- Named layout snapshots: save and restore window geometry across sessions
- Character-scoped bar data (quickslot assignments stay per character)
- Account-scoped layout data (named layouts are shared across characters on the same account)
- German and French client support
All twelve playable classes are supported:
| Class | Red | Yellow | Blue |

After installing an update, reload without restarting the client:

- Specialization detection works by listening for the in-game advancement chat message that appears when you commit a trait line. Bars swap automatically at that point.
- Loading a layout replaces window geometry for the active trait line only and clears all quickslot assignments for those windows — you will need to re-slot your abilities.
- The plugin saves bar data per character and layout data per account.
