What sort of bar mods?
I need big buttons, the standard ones are too tiny in any configuration. 
I don't have the dexterity or eyesight to see or hit them.
I just could not get a decent layout with window sizes or fullscreen.
One addon that may not be the best I just got and works is
MoveAnything
A steep learning curve but it allows action bars resize and position, 
turn off the gryphons
bag resizing. Bank resize, bank bag resize. Guild resize - not needed.
The bags don't autosort though, position is fixed on all characters.
Not really a problem since the bag market has probably collapsed and I 
can standardise on decent but not huge bags.
Once you mod the bank or guild bank close and reopen , otherwise opening 
the net tab and seeing it empty is a bit of a heart stopper :-)

I managed to collapse an entire 6 guildbank tabs for one character, plus 
bank bags and on-character down to just on-character and a few of the 
basic bank slots. It does mats, gear and single stack items would take 
more. I know I could run a single bag addon but that would be later if ever.

That is without the reagent tab, not much use for selling.
A few of my most used addons are broken.

Some things I really like, others I am not liking much   at all
I haven't even started on the 90s yet, apart from checking their bags.
