Cursor Cooldown Reloaded
Overview
Cursor Cooldown Reloaded is a highly customizable World of Warcraft addon that displays cooldown indicators — including the Global Cooldown (GCD), cast bars, swing timers, and spell cooldowns — around your cursor. All indicators render as circular rings (donut-style) with fully configurable colors, sizes, thickness, and textures.
Originally created by bakahar, Finghin, and Sancty, and revived for modern WoW by Kallye / AcidBomb.
