Aura Options

Adds show conditions to the built-in Cooldown Manager.

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that extends the built-in Cooldown Manager with configurable show conditions. Control when each CDM frame is visible based on gameplay state. All settings are exposed through the native Blizzard Settings panel.

Features

Show Conditions

Control when each Cooldown Manager frame is visible with flexible gameplay conditions. Requires Edit Mode visibility set to "Always" for full control.

  • Per-frame or synced: configure each CDM frame independently (Essential Cooldowns, Utility Cooldowns, Tracked Buffs Icons, Tracked Buffs Bars) or sync all four to share the same rules
  • Condition builder: add conditions, toggle AND/OR between them, negate individual conditions and group them with parentheses for precise logic
  • Readable preview: conditions summarized as a plain-text sentence that updates live as you edit
  • Validation warnings: detects mutually exclusive or redundant conditions
  • Copy conditions: copy one frame's conditions to other frames with a single click

Available Conditions

  • Combat: In Combat, After Combat (configurable linger duration in milliseconds)
  • Target: Has Target, Has Hostile Target, Has Friendly Target
  • Focus: Has Focus, Has Hostile Focus, Has Friendly Focus
  • Situation: In Group, In Raid, In Instance
  • Player State: Mounted, Resting, Stealthed, Dead/Ghost, PvP Flagged

Profiles

Create, rename, delete, copy, export and import named profiles. Each character remembers its active profile.

Performance

  • Show conditions: event-driven evaluation batched to one check per frame — zero polling
  • CDM visibility: uses SetAlpha only — no Show/Hide calls on secure frames, no taint risk
  • When disabled: zero per-frame cost

Commands

  • /ao — open the settings panel
  • Also available via Game Menu → Settings → AddOns → Aura Options

All settings take effect immediately without a reload.
