CMC Tracker Rotation Highlight

The problem this addon solves

Cooldown Manager Centered lets you create additional cooldown bars and custom trackers, but those extra tracker icons do not inherit Rotation Helper-style “next ability” highlighting the way core views do.
If you rely on custom tracker layouts for your rotation flow, that creates a visibility gap: your most important custom icons are on screen, but they are not receiving the same recommendation cue.

What this addon does

CMC Tracker Rotation Highlight is a standalone companion addon that extends Rotation Helper-style next-cast highlighting to custom trackers created in Cooldown Manager Centered.

It gives your tracker setup the same decision cue you expect from Assisted Combat highlights, without modifying the main addon’s source files.

Why this approach

This project was built to fix that exact gap while staying update-safe:

• No edits to Cooldown Manager Centered core files
• Loads as a dependency-aware companion addon
• Survives main addon updates far better than direct code edits
• Hooks runtime tracker frames and applies highlight behavior dynamically

Key features

• Adds next-ability highlight behavior to CMC custom trackers
• Designed for additional tracker layouts and dynamic tracker counts
• Safe compatibility strategy with fallback visuals if advanced animation APIs are unavailable
• In-game controls plus slash commands
• Optional sync with CMC’s own Rotation Highlight toggle

In-game controls

• Enable or disable the companion highlight
• Toggle whether it follows CMC’s Rotation Highlight setting
• Quick access button to open CMC settings
• Slash support:
  • /cmctrh status
  • /cmctrh on
  • /cmctrh off
  • /cmctrh toggle
  • /cmctrh cmctoggle on
  • /cmctrh cmctoggle off
  • /cmctrh settings

Requirements

• Requires Cooldown Manager Centered to run
• Uses Blizzard Assisted Combat/Rotation suggestion signals where available

Notes

• This addon focuses specifically on custom tracker highlight behavior.
• Visual style may vary slightly by client support level (with a graceful fallback effect when needed).
• Built to solve the practical workflow issue: “my extra/custom trackers should support rotation-helper highlight too.”
