BetterSwingTimer upgrades WoW Forever with customizable melee and ranged swing bars, gradients, test mode, action-bar swipes, movable settings, and minimap controls.
BetterSwingTimer
BetterSwingTimer gives World of Warcraft: Forever a cleaner, more customizable
way to track melee and ranged weapon swings. Replace the default swing display
with clear progress bars that are easy to position and match to your UI.
## Features
- Separate main-hand, off-hand, and ranged swing bars
- Adjustable width, height, and spacing
- Custom gradient, background, and border colors
- Optional remaining-time text
- Movable and lockable swing bars
- Built-in test mode for easy setup outside combat
- Optional cooldown swipes on Attack and Auto Shot action-bar buttons
- Support for /startattack, /cast Auto Shot, and /cast !Auto Shot macros
- Native ability cooldowns always take priority over swing swipes
- Option to hide Blizzard's original swing timer
- Movable minimap button that can be hidden
- Compact, movable settings window
## Getting Started
Type /bst to open the settings window. Enable **Test mode** to preview all
swing bars, adjust their size and colors, and unlock them when you want to move
them. Lock the bars again when your layout is ready.
## Slash Commands
- /bst - Open or close settings
- /bst lock - Lock the swing bars
- /bst unlock - Unlock and move the swing bars
- /bst reset - Restore default settings
- /bst test - Toggle animated test mode
- /bst inspect - Show swing-timer integration information
## Compatibility
BetterSwingTimer is made for World of Warcraft: Forever and uses the game's
native swing events. Hiding Blizzard's swing timer does not change its CVar, so
the original timer returns normally when the addon is disabled.
