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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

I started fiddling around with options, and everything was going great until I clicked "stop testing" and the test frames remained on screen, so, naturally i reloaded my ui and they finally disappeared, only to never load again when i went to test them again. Is anyone else encountering this issue where the test frames refuse to load ? I'm not really sure how to adjust options when I can't see what's being customized. PLEASE HELP!
In reply to nykspree8: update: i think this is somehow related to enabling the castbar inside the frames. Can someone please look into this?
I've enabled the Alerts function and tried to add a few spells to the "Casts" alerts, but as soon as I enter the spell name it disappears. Is the Alerts function working?
For some reason DR's don't always work properly..Shows DRs are off, while a player is definitely still on DR
I have to /reloadui everytime I enter an arena because only one party frame shows up, not both (in 3v3)
It is working for TWW now. it's an amazing addon.

Is the addon broken in the current build or is it me?
In reply to Ysteriamw: It's not just you. It's broken.
I'm getting the following error:
30x GladiusEx/templates.xml:91 Couldn't find inherited node: AutoCastShineTemplate
In reply to ryulinho:
Please try 2.9.1
When I log into any of my characters, I get 3 or 4 error messages in my chatbox: "Libcooldowntracker bad spell ID", etc.
It's coming from Gladiusex, and it happens on all of my alts. Not a very big issue, but just posting it here.
Here is quick TWW pre-patch hotfix until owner releases proper patch.
