Description
CDM Dark Mode is a lightweight addon designed to improve the visibility and aesthetics of your action bars.
By default, WoW "grays out" your icons when they are on cooldown and uses a faint spiral to show the remaining time. CDM Dark Mode changes this behavior to give you a clearer, sharper look.
Key Features:
-
High Contrast Cooldowns: Replaces the default faint spiral with a dark, high-contrast swipe. This makes it much easier to see exactly when an ability will be ready out of the corner of your eye.
-
Vibrant Icons: Removes the "desaturation" (gray filter) from abilities on cooldown. Your icons stay colorful and distinct at all times, relying on the dark swipe to indicate cooldown status instead.
-
Extremely Lightweight: No heavy configuration menus or bloat. It does exactly what it says and nothing else.
How to Use: The addon works immediately upon installation with a default darkness setting of 98% (almost pure black). You can adjust the opacity using simple chat commands:
-
/cdmdm <number>— Sets the darkness of the swipe (0 to 100).
Examples:
-
/cdmdm 98— Sets darkness to 98% (Default, very high contrast). -
/cdmdm 50— Sets darkness to 50% (Semi-transparent). -
/cdmdm 0— Invisible swipe.
(Note: After changing the setting, cast a spell to see the visual update immediately.)
