MiliUI Cooldown Manager

Takes over Blizzard's built-in Cooldown Manager and reworks its layout, appearance and text. You adjust every setting directly on a live preview, and changes apply right away.

Builds on Blizzard's built-in Cooldown Manager. It takes over the layout, appearance and text, and adds custom groups, resource bars and a cast bar. Spell data still comes from Blizzard. This addon only controls where things go and how they look.

Opening the settings: type /mcdm, or click the minimap button.

Layout
Essential, Utility, Tracked Buffs and Tracked Bars each have their own settings. You can set icons per row, spacing, growth direction and icon size, and the second row can use a different size. Any bar can be anchored to another one, for example a resource bar sitting on top of Essential. When several elements share the same side, they stack outward in order instead of overlapping.

Settings window
Each bar has its own page, and a preview sits at the top of that page. You work directly on the preview: drag to reorder, middle-click to remove, and left-click to open the detailed settings for a single spell. Every option applies immediately, so you never need to /reload.

Appearance
You can change the borders, icon zoom and cooldown swipe color, plus the font and position of the countdown, charge and stack text. Set a global theme first, then override it on individual bars.

Custom groups
You can add your own icon groups or bar groups and drag spells into them from Blizzard's list. You can also enter an ID to track an aura (buff or debuff), a spell cooldown or an item cooldown, such as a trinket or potion. Icon groups can be made clickable, so clicking an icon casts the spell or uses the item, just like an action bar.

Alerts

  • The proc glow's style and color can be changed.
  • Icons can glow briefly when a cooldown becomes ready.
  • The border changes color when the aura enters its pandemic window.
  • Each spell can have its own sound for cooldown ready, aura gained and aura lost, chosen from over 100 built-in sounds.
  • Icons can show their keybind in a corner.

Resource bars
Shows the right resource for your specialization. Rage, Energy, Mana and similar resources are continuous bars. Combo Points, Holy Power, Runes and similar resources are segmented. Class mechanics such as Stagger, Ignore Pain and Whirlwind stacks get dedicated bars. Bar colors can change based on conditional rules. You can also add your own rows to track a spell's charges or an aura's stacks.

Cast bar
A player cast bar with channel tick marks and latency display. Empowered spells change color at each stage.

Visibility conditions
Each bar has its own conditions, such as fading out when you have no target or hiding while mounted.

Edit Mode
Open Blizzard's Edit Mode to drag any bar into place. Grid snapping is supported, and bars align with other frames in the MiliUI package.

Profiles
Profiles can switch automatically by specialization. You can also export them as a string to share, or import someone else's.

Switching from Ayije_CDM
The two addons can't run together. If both are enabled, a window appears at login. It can convert your existing settings into a new profile, without overwriting any current profile, and then disable the old addon.
