Cooling2

Main

This addon will consists of 15 movable icons that will popup and show any items or spells that are on cooldown. Cooldowns are always ordered by their ending time. If several items and spells have the same ending time only one icon is shown for them. Also Scrolling/Floating combat text messages can be shown.

This addon is mainly aimed for (keyboard) players that don't want to flood their UI with hundreds of action icons, but still want to track abilities that are on cooldown.

In addition user can form icon groups and edit rules what cooldowns should be seen in those groups.

IMPORTANT: This is Cooling 2 (beta) - This add-on is meant for users that have time and patience to read manual (and sometimes maybe peek the .lua itself) in order to get most out of it. If you wish for something that works out of the box get Cooling (original) instead.

IMPORTANT: Development and support of this addon is discontinued since I no longer play WoW.

Be warned that giving nonnumerical value for options alpha, scale, min and max will spawn lua error. This might be fixed in future by providing better settings interface.
