ArcUI v3.5.3 Changelog

New Features

Secondary Resource Bars

• 4 display styles for Combo Points, Runes, Soul Shards, Holy Power, Chi, Arcane Charges, Essence, and more:
  • Continuous — Single fill bar with optional At Max color and threshold coloring
  • Segmented — Colored segments per point with configurable gaps and up to 3 color ranges
  • Fragmented — Independent bars per point with their own background, border, fill direction, and cooldown text — great for Runes and Essence
  • Icons — Individual icons per point with Row or Freeform layout
• Full vertical orientation support across all styles with correct tick marks and reverse fill
• Animacharged Combo Point highlighting in all display styles
• Active Count Colors (opt-in) for Segmented, Fragmented, and Icons — up to 3 conditions that recolor active segments based on current count (e.g. "at 3+ combo points turn yellow, at max turn green")
• Spec-aware default colors — Rune colors match your DK spec; Essence defaults to Evoker emerald
• Druid Combo Points — all Druid specs can now track Combo Points (pair with Show in Forms → Cat Form)
• Maelstrom Weapon — Enhancement Shamans can track Maelstrom Weapon stacks as a secondary resource
• Soul Fragments (Vengeance) — properly tracks Soul Cleave fragment count
• Soul Fragments (Devourer) — tracks Devourer hero spec fragments with dynamic max based on Soul Glutton talent
• Auto Charging Color — optional toggle that automatically dims each segment's ready color for the charging state, so charging colors stay in sync when you change your palette
• Cooldown Text Offsets — X/Y offset sliders for cooldown text on Fragmented segments and Icons
• Cooldown Text Size — adjustable font size for Icons cooldown text (previously fixed at 12px)
• Freeform Index Labels — icons in Freeform layout show numbered labels (1, 2, 3…) while the options panel is open for easier arrangement
• Druid Form Visibility — show or hide resource bars per shapeshift form (Cat, Bear, Moonkin, Travel, Tree)

22 Visibility Conditions — Now Across All Bar Types

• 7 new conditions added to CDM Groups: No Target, Has Target, Not Casting, While Casting, Stealthed, Flying, Swimming
• All event-driven with no polling overhead
• "Hide When..." multiselect now available on Tracking Bars, Cooldown Bars, Charge Bars, Duration Bars, and Resource Bars — replacing the old "Hide Out of Combat" toggle
• Old settings auto-migrate to the new system
• 2-column layout to fit the expanded condition list

Custom Bars

• 3 distinct bar modes — Timer, Toggle, and Stack — selectable when creating or editing any bar
  • Timer (purple): Countdown bar that expires after a set duration
  • Toggle (cyan): Stays active until cancelled
  • Stack (blue): Tracks generators and spenders with a fill bar
• 3 separate "New Bar" buttons — New Timer, New Toggle, and New Stack — each pre-configures the right settings
• Active bars summary now counts all 3 types separately
• Collapsible sections for Trigger & Duration and Cancel Settings keep the options panel clean
• 5 trigger types for Stack generators and spenders — Spell Cast, Aura Gained, Aura Lost, Glow Show, and Glow Hide
• Mix and match trigger types — use Spell Cast generators with Aura Lost spenders, etc.
• Generator and spender icons now show trigger type badges (A+, A-, G+, G-)

Bug Fixes

• Talent icons no longer drift after talent swaps — mutually exclusive icons (e.g. Halo/Void Torrent) stay where you put them
• Talent picker correctly identifies your active hero tree — non-chosen subtree nodes no longer show as active
• Choice talent nodes highlight only the chosen option — unchosen pick appears dimmed
• "No Desaturation" icons no longer flash gray on GCD or loot
• Proc and ready glows no longer get stuck when BigWigs is installed
• Fragmented segment fill no longer overflows border
• Switching display styles no longer hides the bar — background and borders properly restore
• Freeform icons can be dragged again — fixed an issue where dragging would snap icons back to their saved position
• Sliders no longer freeze when dragging — color pickers and other controls that need a panel refresh still update correctly
• Essence icon no longer shows a green square in the setup panel
• Extra tick mark at the bar edge removed — percent and custom tick modes no longer place a divider at the very end of the bar

Improvements

• Smooth Fill toggle now visible on Cooldown, Charge, and Timer bars
• Zero-CPU deactivation for spec/talent-hidden bars — all update scripts are cleared when bars are inactive
• Talent conditions UI unified across all options panels with a consistent layout
• Aura-based stack triggers are fully event-driven with zero CPU when idle
• Toggle mode no longer requires manually enabling "Unlimited Duration"
• Timer bar headers show mode-colored labels for quick identification
• Options panel reorganized — Style, gap, and layout settings moved to Fill; Color section is now strictly color-related
• Gradient toggle on its own row; direction dropdown renamed to "Gradient Direction"
