I don't believe it's possible for the same reason an EM or decursive aren't possible. Unless I am mistaken, dynamic windows cannot created in combat. Although, now that I think about it, I don't see why they can't be hid/revealed, assuming they are not created/removed.

Speaking of the minimap, what map mod is that? I recently switched over to using Simple Minimap for the square map, but the minimap icons are still in the positions they would normally be in if the map was a circle.

there is a mod called DetachedMiniButtons available on curse gaming that allows you to move minimap buttons wherever. Visor2 will also allow moving of basically any frame you can imagine, but it is way more complicated.

Has anyone found a viable replacement for ItemRack, preferably Ace2'd? Using the search function, I came up with ClosetGnome, but I didn't like it at all. Any alternatives out there?

Outfitter works great. I switched over to it from ItemRack and have been very happy with it.

What's the cause to stop using ItemRack? Coded well enough that it still works without a patch in 6 months.

Personally, I found that the transition to and from my mount trinket was very unreliable. Maybe 20% of the time when was mounted my trinket wasn't equipped, and when I was unmounted (and typically in the middle of a fight) my trinket WAS equipped. I got tired of having to constantly check to make sure my damage trinkets were equipped all the time.

I have had this issue quite infrequently with Outfitter - maybe on the order of once a week versus a number of times daily with ItemRack.

Okay, fair enough. Some of the more creative stuff I don't really use that often. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bad "this mod's out of date!" reason to drop it.

Being able to alt over character sheet slots the way itemrack handles it is pretty invaluable to me. outfitter is good, but really it's just preference.

ClosetGnome is just too damn annoying in the way it handles set editing. You can't actually edit a set, you have to redefine it every time.

That would work, but beware clicking in that general transparent area!

You could also just make sweet love to minimapbuttonbag.

Shift+ Click the set name on the fubar tooltip opens that set for adjustment and editing.

I think I'm almost looking more for a suggestion of a mod rather then a particular one. I'm looking for a quest tracking mod, one that works almost like the default blizzard one because I'd really like it to just dispear or be less intrusive when I'm not questing, but also pop up with objectives etc when I start working on a quest. I tried nQuestlog out yesterday and it seemed okay but I had to do to much work with it to get displays(some quests would pop up on their own others wouldn't and I had to manually tab them open in the display).

That wouldn't, by any chance, consolidate all of the icons into 1 would it?

Unless I'm misreading, since you like the Blizzard UI, you can turn on automatic quest tracking which will (without manually telling to track particular quests) start tracking the quest once you achieve part of one of the objective. I believe it also stops tracking after either 5(?) mins of not doing anything else towards the quest objectives or completing the quest.
