Description
SlickCast
SlickCast is a modern, lightweight castbar replacement built as a rewrite and revival of the classic AzCastBar addon. It provides clean, customizable castbars for Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror timers while preserving the familiar AzCastBar feel and updating it for current World of Warcraft.
Features
- Modern Castbar Replacement: Replaces Blizzard’s default Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror timer bars with clean SlickCast bars.
- Full Bar Coverage: Supports Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror castbars with independent settings for each.
- Blizzard Bar Suppression: Hides default Blizzard castbars and mirror timers so SlickCast can fully replace them.
- Edit Mode: Preview, move, and position bars using test bars without needing to cast.
- Deep Customization: Adjust textures, fonts, colors, labels, timers, backgrounds, borders, icon placement, alpha, fade timing, spark display, and reverse growth.
- Player Safe Zone: Optional latency safe-zone display for player casts.
- Profiles & Layout Tools: Save profiles, copy settings between bars, and apply quick layout templates.
- Smarter Interrupt Coloring: Uses Blizzard’s native renderer to color protected interrupt data without exposing the underlying value.
- Lightweight & Standalone: No required dependencies.

About
SlickCast is based on and inspired by AzCastBar by Aezay, which is no longer maintained. SlickCast preserves the familiar AzCastBar-style castbar experience while streamlining and modernizing it for today’s World of Warcraft.
SlickCast was previously released as SweetCast and now uses fresh SlickCast settings and profiles.
