Disable Cooldown Manager Helper

DisableCDManagerHelper automatically turns off Blizzard’s built-in Cooldown Manager whenever you log in to a character or reload your interface with /reload.

Created to help when a UI pack re-enables Blizzard’s Cooldown Manager on login or UI reload. Instead of manually unchecking the setting each time, DisableCDManagerHelper switches it off during startup.

It is useful if you prefer a cleaner interface or already use another addon to display your cooldowns.

Features

Lets you manually enable the Cooldown Manager during a session. It will be disabled again at your next login or /reload. Designed for WoW Forever and Retail. Example Your UI pack enables Blizzard’s Cooldown Manager when you log in, leaving unwanted cooldown displays on your screen. With DisableCDManagerHelper enabled, it switches the setting off during startup.

The addon checks during login and once more when you first enter the world. A UI pack or another addon that enables the Cooldown Manager later in the session can still turn it back on.
