- Cooldown tracker: a highly configurable module for tracking all types of cooldowns

FAQ
How do I bring the user interface up ?
You can use the /gex slash command, or you can access the options from the addons tab in the interface panel.
Where did the trinket and the dispels modules go ?
They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently. By default, the trinket cooldown is shown in group 2 and a few other cooldowns in group 1.
What is that additional set of frames that I see ?
Those are the party frames. This is incremental functionality that will help you track not only your enemies but also your friends. If you use your own you can turn these easily off in the general settings. You can also disable only your own frame, but keep the GladiusEx party frames.
Is it possible to have text timers for the auras, cooldowns or the DR icons ?
The timer module has been removed, but this can be achieved with OmniCC or other similar addons.

The class and spec icons are always rendered incorrectly in solo shuffle, not sure about other mode
In reply to felicoz:
That's weird; I've never ever seen that in shuffle. Are you sure it's not BigDebuffs' buggy integration that's causing the issue?
To make sure, type /bd to open BigDebuffs' options, then into Unit Frames > Arena Frames > uncheck "Enabled".
In reply to Vendethiel: i don't have bigDebuffs, but I do have shadow unit frame which is off.
is it possible to replace default party frames with the GladiusEx frames outside of arenas? Useful for M+ and bgs too
maybe i'm doing something very wrong, but the gladius arena frames just don't show up? unchecked the party frames because i use my own, but i don't think that should prevent the arena ones from showing? only seeing blizzard raid frames in skirmishes and solo shuffle, which is what i play mostly lol :')
Anyone has a version with updated CD list? Lots of cooldowns are not showing. (or a guide on how to fix them myself)
EDIT: The page will not let me delete my comment, but I figured it out. The Cooldown Group 2 is the PvP Trinket! :)
Hello! Simple question here: how do I choose which side of the bar the trinket icon appears? I had my party on the left and the enemies on the right. I made some changes to the party settings and copied them to enemies and now the trinket swapped sides. I cannot find this setting in the configuration!

Getting this constantly
If anyone is getting a lua error at Data-Mainline.lua line 190 replace with this:
[GladiusEx:SafeGetSpellName(108271)] = 7, -- Astral Shift
In reply to Sharpedge_Gaming: You're a legend, this works perfectly.
Hello, stupid question, how do I remove the black part of the class icon and make the class icon taking full square ? for both ennemy and paty
by default it seems the class icon and small with black part all around, so harder to see important aura
Any update on the non-appearing Evoker cast bars? Happens on empowered casts.
In reply to Bodify:
I'm still waiting for this fix too!
I tried to use the bug tracker, but wowace seems to be down.
I'm getting this weird bug a lot, seems to be bad interaction between gex and ATT and Arkinventory? I sadly don't understand what the issue is, maybe you/someone can take a look at it:
In reply to MoosGames:
Unsure as it stands. This doesn't really help tell where and how taint spread at all, sadly.
If you're using edit mode, I think it's still a good idea to /reload after changing stuff, because it had an history of spreading taint everywhere.
Is there any way to make the HP bar color a processive gradient? Like green for full, yellow mid, and red low.
everytime i reload the test frames are showing, any way to prevent that? manually clicking "stop testing" everytime doesn't stop it permanently apparently.
EDIT: somehow is not doing it anymore, but i don't know why tho.
In reply to Navallax:
you probably locked them. there's a big window on top of the testframes that they stop disappearing when you lock frames.
Monk's spear isnt there too
Can I manually add a cooldown? I saw that Inbuke is not enabled for HOLY spec (skull bash too)
