Description

Sentinel CDM takes Blizzard's Cooldown Manager and makes it yours. Every frame can be sized, styled, and positioned freely, and a set of optional trackers fills in the gaps the default UI leaves behind. No companion addon required — Sentinel CDM runs on its own.

Containers (Essential / Utility / Auras / Buffs)

Hosts Blizzard's Cooldown Manager inside four independent containers: Essential and Utility for tracked cooldowns, Auras for tracked buffs and procs, and Buffs for tracked buffs. Each one is sized, spaced, and positioned on its own Layout page.

CDM Bars

Choose which spells appear in each container by dragging them from the palette into the slot grid; grid order is in-game order. Spells can be marked Conditional so they only show when you are actually specced into them.

Ability Settings

Controls how the cooldown icons look across all containers: Glows, Proc Overlays, cooldown swipe and edge, cooldown text, charge and stack counts, and desaturation while an ability is unavailable.

Custom Bars

Up to three independent bars for tracking specific abilities/items of your choosing, each with its own contents, layout, appearance, and position — ideal for situational or off-spec tracking you do not want in your main containers.

Ability Bars

Shows an ability's charges as a row of segments, one per charge or stack, for at-a-glance availability. Four layouts (horizontal or vertical, side by side or stacked), full color, texture, and border options, an optional companion icon, free positioning or anchoring to another frame, and a Copy From dropdown to clone look-and-feel between bars.

Duration Bars

Tracks how long a buff has left as a status bar with an optional companion icon. The bar can drain or fill in either orientation with full styling control, and the icon can show live charges or stacks and dim while the spell is unavailable. Separate Duration Text (buff time on the bar) and Ability Cooldown Text (recast/recharge on the icon) can run together. Bars can be made Conditional and previewed before the buff ever fires.

Resources

Covers your primary resource bar (Focus, Energy, Mana, and so on) and, for classes that have one, a Secondary Resource Bar with pips (Combo Points, Chi, and similar). Survival Hunters also get Tip of the Spear stack tracking here.

Cast Bar

Shows your casts with a progress fill, spell name, time remaining, and icon, plus a latency safe-zone and empower-stage pips for Evokers.

Profiles & Import / Export

Per-character or shared setups, with copy and reset. Export produces a text string you can back up or share; importing applies the same configuration elsewhere.

Positioning & Help

Right-click the minimap button (or use the unlock button in options) to open the positioner. Drag any frame into place, or nudge it one pixel at a time with the arrow keys (hold Shift for ten-pixel jumps). An in-game Information section provides usage notes, tips, and a changelog.

Slash commands: /scdm opens options, /scdm glowfix clears a stuck spell-glow.
