Quartz
Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:
*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors.
*Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar.
*Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars.
*Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar.
*Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again.
*Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it).
*Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings.
*Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars.
*Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast.
*Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot.
*Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars.
*Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.
Use /quartz to bring up the configuration menu.
Good, but don't know how to move the duration bars
Nymbia,
Just wanted to take a minute away from answering our comments to let you know that Quartz is awesome.
There are a few items that tend to freak it out, such as picking up the bottles of port in the Hinterlands and the oddly named box here or there. The bar still shows that you are "opening" the object- but an error is thrown.
Otherwise, every thing is just dandy. This is one of the must have AddOns, sincerely hope to see it in WotLK, too.
Thank you,
Nikk
Edit: Spelling
I newly tried this addon and it seems to be great so far.
I just have a little detail problem with it. I selected for the blizzard default casting bar to be turned of but said bar still shows up. Any idea?
i cant seem to get quartz to show if my focus target is drinking/eating. is it possible? i enabled show buffs on focus target and all that stuff
On the bottom i can move my cast bar but my targets debuffs are affixiated to the topright corner of the bar, is there anyway i can just move the buffs not the cast bar?
Is there a way to differentiate between characters through your WTF? Currently however I set Quartz up on a single character mirrors to all the rest. But many of my characters use different UIs based on their roles...
I understand if it is not possible, but should it be possible, I would much like to know how.
I can't figure out how to move the bars at all. This is my favourite cast bar addon and it would be great to get a simple shift-click drag option or something along those lines. Cheers.
To move the bars, open the Quartz window by writing /quartz in the chatbox.
Then, get into the category that you wanna move.
Player for your castbar, Target for the target'castbar, etc.
Then unmark the option LOCK.
This will make the castbar appear on your window. Move it wherever you like to.
Then mark the option LOCK.
This will make the castbar disappear from your window.
Done ^^
thanks, been wondering this for the longest also
-To the developers:
Thanks for making this mod.
I have a feature request below:
You can Check "Depletion" on some of the bars, why don't all the bars have this, in perticular, why can't I have my Swing bar start full, then get smaller.
Here is the updated version for WoWAce...

I love this addon, but i would love it even more if they updated the Dual Wield Swing timer because i play a rogue.....so yea, plz fix it so that Swing Timer works with Dual Wield
I'm having a problem moving the different bars on the screen. The way my UI is currently setup the default position for quartz sits right in the middle of my actionbars. I messed around with the addon but it seems as though some parts of the quartz addon r stuck together. Things like the castbar,swingtimer, and buff/debuff bar seem to be stuck together. Just looking for someway to move the bars with more ease. Thanks.
Same for me, it seems it has something to do with the latest patch (2.4.3). I hope this is fixed soon.
BTW this is a great addon.
Thx
