No deadspace hotbar?

[Rade]

I'v never used one before but now that I'm playing a caster and finding the need for several additional hotbars I decided to try Mook's 3in1 hotbar with no deadspace...

Problem is I unfortunately decided to try this at the exact moment in time SOE decided to whip out LU17 with the new hotbar features. When I go into the game after installing Mook's hotbar I get errors saying hotbar 1, 2 and 3 are each older versions and it loaded the defaults instead.

Is this hotbar still working after LU17 or since they updated all hotbars will the mods for them need to be updated in turn?

Do I even need a hotbar mod now that SOE has made this hotbar change themselves? My problem with the hotbar is not the size of it (though now being able to resize them is helpful) but rather trying to stack hotbars close to each other and chat windows without having areas of each button not being able to be clicked on the top or bottom portion of the button itself. Since I'v never used Mook's deadspace removal mod I'm unsure if this will fix my problem but I don't believe SOE's new hotbar has fixed my problem either.
