BetterSwingTimer changelog

v0.1.10

  • Add independent Main-Hand and Off-Hand visibility controls for normal play, unlocked previews, and test mode, preserving saved melee preferences.
  • Align Display controls in a two-column grid with Main-Hand and Off-Hand together, and Ranged and Range Check below them.
  • Add text color and opacity controls for the selected bar or all bars with Modify all, including mixed-color display and cancel restoration.

v0.1.9

  • Add a separate range-check toggle for both range displays, keeping the main Display layout compact.

v0.1.7

  • Fix top borders disappearing from swing bars and the range strip at scaled UI sizes.

v0.1.6

  • Configure swing bars individually or together, with independent size, colors, gradient, and positions.
  • Add a separate range indicator with its own size, border color, and test-mode preview.
  • Add a Configure Texts panel with a shared font picker and individual or combined font-size controls for swing and range text.
  • Improve the options layout and make the bar selector's editing scope clear.

v0.1.5

  • Show equipped weapon bars on initial login without requiring a UI reload.

v0.1.4

  • Reuse Blizzard's swing progress and countdown updates instead of running a separate timer loop during normal play.
  • Update range indicators and action-bar swipes from events instead of polling.
  • Automatically enable Blizzard's swing timers and hide their original visuals.
  • Remove the separate Hide Blizzard option.
  • Preserve Blizzard-owned visibility and registration state to avoid tainting native weapon-speed checks. Native bars must be set to Always or In Combat in Edit Mode; Hidden bars do not supply swing updates.

v0.1.3

  • Show target range below the ranged bar, including between swings.
  • Add a timing marker half a second before a ranged swing ends.

v0.1.2

  • Add Always show bars to keep equipped weapon bars visible between swings.
  • Show bars only for equipped main-hand, off-hand, and ranged weapons, without gaps for missing weapons.
  • Expand the bar labels to Main Hand, Off Hand, and Ranged.
  • Remove the experimental ranged timing marker.

v0.1.0

  • Initial release with native swing timers, options, test mode, minimap button, and optional action-bar cooldown swipes.
