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

@Elkano
Do you intend on releasing a TBC version? I have edited my own personal copy and got it working, but am hoping there will be an official release soon.

Best buff addon
In reply to OldGrizzlyGamer:
Yes, I do intend to keep it working for all three game flavors.
I created a whitelist, but now I can't add anything to it really, it's much smaller than it used to be and I'm not sure why, only showing 18 total buffs.... what do?
edit: tried resetting the profile and it still did not allow me to access the full range of buffs to track.
In reply to Dan_Hazard:
It will only show spells that you either already have on a white-/blacklist or that you have seen so far this session. Always has been that way. 🙈
Sorry - been out for a few years. How can I filter auras vs. non-auras? I just don't know what terminology to use.
In reply to SoMuchLasagna:
I think I called them timeless buffs and there should be an option to whitelist (only show those) or blacklist (don't show) them within a bar group.
In reply to Elkano:
I thought I tried timeless as a
label, I didn’t see an option for those in the bar, but I’ll check again when I get home.
In reply to SoMuchLasagna:
You're right, I'm dumb. I was so caught up in trying to do it by timer, I didn't even see the dropdown. Thanks.
I'm having a problem just clicking off buffs when in combat?? Is there anyway to fix this?
In reply to Psyriph:
Sadly for EBB there is currently none (since WoW 4.x).
The frames needed to do that can't be moved in combat and thus I'd have to remove filtering and sorting and have Blizzard's code handle the frames.
I always wanted to at least add that as an alternative but since I never needed it myself, I never came around to doing it besides a prototype :/
Can't see any bargroup anymore on screen, they also disappeared from the config window so I can't adjust /create new groups anymore.
I received following 2 LUA-Errors:

In reply to ishirra:
I'm also unable to see them. I got them to show once somehow and it was successfully creating new groups when I clicked the button but they weren't updating properly when deleting them and I haven't been able to get the window to show anything since.
Tried to configure this beloved addon today, but got a message from "LUA" ;) :

so is this addon abandoned ?
> Last Released File: 2 days ago
yeah, looks abandoned to me 😏
In reply to Elkano:
Not sure why but version 103 alpha has been listed as the latest version for ages :(
Literally just found this comment so checked the version manually!
But so happy to see an update!
I think the TOC might also have to be
## Interface: 90001
To stop it showing out of date.
In reply to ElectronicPunk:
good catch with the TOC 😅
regarding 193, seems to be a bug in the Twitch client due to 196 being marked for retail and classic 🤔
For me, the client does show 196 for classic and 193 for retail as well... 😕
will poke around a bit, so OW can fix that...
Would it be possible to get Spec-profiles? Would be really useful for folks like me who use different layouts for healing compared to DPS/Tanking.
