Description

GreyOnCooldown is a simple addon that has the objective of show the action bar icons desaturated when they are on cooldown.

*Fully compatible with ClassicUIDominos, Tukui, Bartender4, ConsolePort  and other LibActionButton-1.0 addons!

 Features

* GreyOnCooldown use hooks and timers to efficiently desaturate the action bar icons whose spells/items are in cooldown.

* This addon is simple and does not require setup, but it includes a easy little configuration panel where you can configure some things if you want, for now:

  • Enable/Disable addon with a simple checkbox
  • Enable/disable the desaturation of unusable actions (enabled by default). This allows to desaturate unusable actions (such as unlearned talents) regardless of their cooldown status.
  • Enable/disable the desaturation of pet action buttons (enabled by default). This allows to desaturate the pet action buttons (from the pet action bar) when they are on cooldown/unusable.
  • Set the minimum duration of the cooldown to be desaturated (only classic versions, not in retail). This allows filter a short cooldowns spells (e.g. the global cooldown). It is recommended not to set values less than 1.51 to prevent desaturation of all icons by the global cooldown. The default value for classic/tbc/wotlk/cata/mop is 2.01 to prevent desaturation when slow wands are fired.
  • Profiles: By default a global profile is used, but you can configure toon-specific and realm-specific profiles
