From the author

Excerpt from the author's description on CurseForge

Lightweight visual styling for Blizzard's native ability bars — custom borders, fills, effects, and profiles without replacing a single frame.

Better Ability Bars gives your action bars a polished look while staying 100% Blizzard-native. No frame replacements, no taints, no layout changes — use Edit Mode for positioning and Better Ability Bars for everything visual.

Style Themes Jump-start your look with one-click presets: Classic (dark gold), Minimal (corner-only borders, no frame), and Bold (thick border, full effects). Switch to None any time to tune manually.
