HideCDM is a lightweight, zero-configuration utility addon designed for players who use custom trackers like TellMeWhen (TMW) or other addons, but don't want Blizzard's default Cooldown Manager cluttering up their screen.

-The Problem

If you completely disable the default Cooldown Manager in the game options, it stops scanning auras and tracking combat events in the background. This can break or cripple third-party addons that rely on that backend data to function properly. However, if you leave it on, you end up with redundant, overlapping icons on your screen.

-The Solution

HideCDM fixes this by keeping the default Cooldown Manager fully active, but forcing its opacity to 0%.

Instead of using the standard :Hide() command (which can cause Lua errors when other addons try to hook into the frames), this addon safely locks the alpha of the following frames to zero:

Essential Cooldowns

Utility Cooldowns

Tracked Buffs (Icons)

Tracked Buffs (Bars)

Perfect for TellMeWhen (TMW) Users

By keeping the default frames running silently in the background, TellMeWhen can still seamlessly utilize the game's native tracking data. You get the 100% accuracy of Blizzard's Cooldown Manager, but you only ever see your clean, customized TMW icons.

Features

Zero Configuration: No menus, no options. Just install it and it works.

Combat-Safe: Overwrites the default alpha functions so the default frames will never flicker or reappear when you enter combat or trigger a cooldown.

Extremely Lightweight: Literally just a few lines of code. It uses virtually zero memory and has zero impact on your framerate.
