Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:
*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors.
*Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar.
*Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars.
*Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar.
*Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again.
*Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it).
*Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings.
*Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars.
*Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast.
*Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot.
*Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars.
*Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.

Is it possible to set bar position relative to the center of the screen ?
This way when i change resolution (windowed) the bars stay at the correct position.
edit: I know i can center horizontally/vertically, but the coordinates are not relative to the center.
Hello,
My flight timer doesn't work. Do I need another addon for that?
gz
get rid of the classic file, put it under it's own name or something im tired of classic addons overwriting retail stuff
Link leads to Classic download on Twitch desktop.
In reply to Jerricka:
Why the hell is this still a problem? It has been for as long as I can remember. Would be nice to be able to auto-update this addon like every other one in existence.
Swing timer portion of the addon is very messed up.
1) Swing timer doesn't account for on-next-swing abilities like Heroic Strike
2) Swing timer stops midway through when you use Slam
3) Swing timer occasionally just completely borks and stays stuck on the screen forever, requiring a /reload to fix.
On Retail, no cast bars are appearing. Strangely will appear if I click Toggle Bar Lock but as we know that only shows position - clicking again hides and they won't appear again if casting.
Anyone else having this issue. I love this mod and dearly miss it

Just came here to report this as well.
In reply to beugnen:
I've been super sad about it too. The first time it disappeared I couldn't dps because I had used it for so long it was just a huge aid for my timing. Not easy when you have plenty of alts and don't know their timing well enough.
In reply to beugnen:
I think I figured it out. Twitch is updating the addon to the Classic version. If I reinstalled in the Twitch addon, it would work again afterwards. Healbot is experiencing same issue. I'm not sure if it's a Twitch problem or the addon being uploaded wrong? As no other addons are giving me this issue.
In reply to aerix888:
Confirmed, Twitch installed an update for Classic into Retail. Manually deleted both versions and manually downloaded and installed. Working now
On Classic, the swing timer bar doesn't seem to show up if I'm Dual Welding. Any clue why? Would be really nice to have the swing timer for my main hand as a warrior.
Hello,
I've been using quartz for many many years without issues. Recently I made and UI overhaul and I needed my cast bar to fill up from right to left instead of the default left to right. Is there anyway to do that? I couldn't find an option.
If there is a way tat you can point out even through the .lua files please let me know
Thanks

twitch did an update and now i have no cast bars, just the standard wow swing line
just realized that twitch uploaded the classic version to retail
In reply to shilum:
same here.
have to reverse over 30 addons.
Robust; beautiful; intuitive; efficient!
Unlike some other silly mods like Gnosis and ClassicCastBars, this mod works straight out-of-the-box and doesn't gobble huge amounts of computer resources.
Well done to all the people involved in creating this marvellous mod!
In classic when you get pushback right at the end of a cast the bar dissapears while you are still casting instead of adding the pushback and extending the cast bar time.
After last update I dont see cast bars .. :(
In reply to MonokeShadow:
I am having the same problem. Have uninstalled, reinstalled... nothing. I only see the swing bar.... sometimes. I've used this addon for many expansions and this is messing up my game! :D I am so used to seeing it and just casting that I'm missing casts timing now. Please fix! I miss it. I miss it's musk.
