Description

CleanCooldownManager

A simple & minimalist add-on for World of Warcraft that tweaks the look of Blizzard’s built-in Cooldown Manager until Blizzard implements these changes themselves.

  • Zero padding
  • No borders/Black borders
  • Minimalist, no overhead

About

CleanCooldownManager focusses purely on aesthetics and cleanliness of the built-in cooldown UI. It does not add new features, change gameplay, or alter configuration options.
It simply refines the look of the existing cooldown manager.

Installation

  1. Download or clone the repository.
  2. Copy the CleanCooldownManager folder into your WoW Interface/AddOns/ directory.
  3. Enable the add-on in the Add-Ons list (in-game).
  4. Reload UI (e.g., /reload) or restart the game client.

Usage

No configuration is required for the visual cleanup. Once the addon is enabled the cooldown visuals will be adjusted automatically. You may need to scooch your bars closer to each other if you want them touching.
