BarMaster

Build pixel-perfect status bars and icons for any spell in your spellbook. BarMaster reads directly from WoW's Cooldown Manager to create highly customizable displays for cooldowns, durations, stacks, charges, and class resources — with full combat compatibility in WoW Midnight.

Customization

Every display is deeply configurable:

Bar style: Modern (flat) or Classic (gradient), with gloss/shade/fade overlays
Colors: Full RGBA control for fill, background, and borders
Text: Dynamic duration, cooldown, stack, and charge labels with font size, outline, color, and positioning
Size & position: Pixel-perfect width, height, and anchor point controls
Orientation: Horizontal or vertical, normal or reverse fill
Effects: Proc glows (pixel glow, autocast, Blizzard spell alert), spark animations, blink
Visibility: Auto-hide when idle, per-instance-type toggles (dungeon, raid, arena, BG, world, solo)

Snap & Positioning

Drag-and-drop positioning with intelligent edge/center snapping. Organize displays into snap groups that move together. Full integration with Blizzard's HUD Edit Mode — BarMaster unlocks automatically when you enter Edit Mode.

Profiles

Per-spec profiles with automatic switching on spec change
Sub-profiles for different situations (AoE, single target, M+, etc.)
Talent loadout mapping — auto-switch profiles when you change loadouts
Import/Export — share profiles via copy-paste (base64 encoded)

WoW Midnight Compatibility

Built from the ground up to handle Midnight's secret value system. Duration, stack, and charge displays work correctly in combat using ThresholdDecoder, DurationObject detection, pcall-guarded reads, and direct CDM frame integration.
