Elkano's BuffBars
EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.
Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.
Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.
In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Posted Oct 22, 2016In order to be able to cancel buffs in combat, you need secure action buttons, which in turn can't be relocated in combat. As a result, as sad as it is, EBB isn't able to cancel in fight since Cataclysm.
There is a way to create a buff display capable of in fight canceling, however you'll have limited sorting and filtering capabilities.
I do have an EBB v3 code base on my disk that does support this kind of groups since at least MoP (and other stuff like raid buffs that have been removed in Legion or a transition to Ace3 that now also happend for the v2 code base :/ ) but I never finished turning it into a full addon (stuff like e.g. options are missing). And due to working full-time by now, I don't know if/when I'll finish working on it.
If it's only a single buff you intend to cancel in fight, you can still use a simple macro to do so-

Posted Oct 7, 2016Is there a way for the min/max time filter to use the current time left instead of the max buff duration? i.e. for moving a buff from a group of "long" buffs to a group of "short" buffs when its time starts running out.
And what about hiding the default blizzard (de)buffs on target frame, in addition to the current option for your own (de)buffs?
Just some minor issues, love the addon.

Posted Oct 8, 2016In simple terms, EBB updates the groups only in response to UNIT_AURA events using static aura data, i.e. values that aren't dependent on time.
Since no such event fires at a given time left value, adding support for this would require some larger code reworks; not likely to happen anytime soon.
Hiding the auras on unit frames is something I haven't looked into so far since I'm not using the default frames.

Posted Sep 22, 2016Besides the focus trick you already figured out, there's currently no explicit support for this.

Posted Sep 14, 2016Any way to skin the icons with Masque? Would love for it to match the rest of my UI.

Posted Sep 15, 2016There is no explicit support on my end, e.g. any code, so I don't think so.
And since I don't use Masque myself, I doubt that will change any time soon.

Posted Sep 7, 2016For some reason, nomatter what I do, for some odd reason my bar I keep trying to set up just snaps to a certain position, over and over. If move my anchor anywhere near the space it snaps to that certain location and it cannot be moved near it in any place I'd like it or it auto jumps to this one location
Can't figureout what is wrong here but its been like this for months now

Posted Sep 7, 2016It should only snap to other groups so maybe you've got an empty group sitting there?

Posted Aug 26, 2016Is it possible to somehow just automatically show ALL buff and debuff without filtering? Currently no new buffs show up unless after their first occurence I go 'Group settings' tab, filter, white list, and check all new unchecked name. Even thought below "self buffs' dropdown I have 'dont filter', it still uses the whitelist (it should just display all so maybe its a bug). In legion beta it was annoying to go there ocassionally and check all newly appeared unchecked buff and debuff (same with live wow).

Posted Aug 27, 2016The white list filter will only apply if there is any buff checked. It will limit the display to exactly these buffs so showing new ones would hinder its purpose.
But if you uncheck all buffs, the filter is disabled and they should all show in the group including new ones.
Self cast buffs is a different filter that will limit the list to those buffs you either did (whitelist mode) or did not (blacklist mode) cast yourself.

Posted Aug 27, 2016Thanks, I will uncheck all. But then the "dont'filter" dropdown setting is useless,I tought its for to enable applying the whitelist or just ignore filtering (showing all)
