Description
SweetCast

- Full Bar Coverage: Supports Player, Target, Mirror, Focus, and Pet castbars with independent settings for each.
- Blizzard Bar Suppression: Hides default Blizzard castbars and mirror timers so SweetCast 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.
