Action Bar Button Glow Manager adds customisable animated glows to your action bar buttons based on spell casts.
Configure any number of rules through the in-game UI (/bbgmconfig). Each rule lets you choose which action bar addon you're using (ElvUI, Bartender4, Dominos, or Blizzard default), which button to glow, what colour the glow should be, which spell IDs trigger it, which spell IDs cancel it, and how long it lasts. An optional delay lets you set the glow to appear a set number of seconds after the trigger cast — useful for tracking buff windows and cooldown timing.
Features:
- Supports ElvUI, Bartender4, Dominos, and Blizzard default action bars
- Fully in-game config UI — no file editing required
- Per-rule colour picker with live preview
- Trigger and cancel spell ID lists (comma-separated)
- Optional glow delay and auto-expiry duration
- Spec-specific rules — each rule can be locked to a specific specialisation or set to any spec
- Rules persist between sessions via saved variables
- Lightweight — event-driven with no performance impact out of combat
Commands:
/bbgm config— open the config panel/bbgm— print current rule and glow status to chat
Examples:
Hunter nature's aly buff tracking - Creates a glow around button 2 for 14 seconds if any of the spells in the "Trigger SPell IDs" is cast by the player
The glow will be cancelled when spell ID in "Cancel Spell IDs" field is cast
Wild Thrash CD reminder - creates a glow around button 5 on bar 14 8 seconds after ability in the "Trigger Spell IDs" is cast. Ability 1264359 cooldown is 8 seconds, so it glows when the CD is up essentially acting as a reminder.
