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.

I keep getting this error, using latest version, doesn't seem to happen often, any idea why?:
Samwise Icon is still shown for some bars - particularly trade skill related
This is the main reason I have disabled Quartz. I do not understand why the Samwise icon is displaying for ANY Profession or CRAFTING action. I've gone back to Dominos default cast bar because it properly shows atlast the profession spellid icon per cast. I cannot stand seeing a blank box/samewise icon for every bag I tailor.
If you can fix this, and properly show trade skill/other icons, I will be very pleased as this is the best cast bar addon - but the fact Samwise icon is showing up for 100% of my non-spells is just obnoxious
Can you please fix the Aimed Shot and Multi Shot timers for hunters its been broken since release and there's been numerous issue requests submitted thank you
In reply to elronn_frostmourne:
I don't have a Hunter on Classic, and thus cannot do anything about this.
Thank you. I will edit the .lua file as instructed.
Fixed flight.lua file: See Wildcard_25's reply below
@Nevcairiel if you get the chance to make the InFlight fixes incorporated into the next release that would be super, super appreciated, cheers :) Please see Issues ticket #257 where the two of us have developed an updated flight.lua that re-enables error-free InFlight functionality.

Fixed and updated file uploaded to Issue #257
Yes. Quartz supported a couple of flight addons. However, the only one that still works is InFlight Taxi Timer and Quartz's support for it is outdated. The patched file in Issue #257 restores Quartz's support for Inflight.
Problems for classic:
- If your casting is pushed back by a hit when it's within 0.1-0.3 s of the cast finishing, the bar disappears even though you're actually still casting. Quartz appears to consider the spell 'complete' even though it isn't, because the push-back came in towards the very end of the cast.
- Samwise Icon is still shown for some bars - particularly trade skill related like Smelt Copper, despite me having 'Hide Samwise Icon' checked.
- Hidden Icons are just blank icons, as opposed to no icon at all. It should be just the bar.
- Some profession icons wrong. Making bandages, for example, shows a strange purple rune icon instead of the icon for the appropriate bandage.
- Flight map timers not working? Does this require another addon?
- Using some abilities that piggyback off your auto attacks, like Heroic Strike, cause the Swing Timer to disappear until your next non-ability auto attack.
In reply to Forge_User_64720881:
Nearly all of these are being caused by the bad design of the Classic game client, and since i'm not playing Classic, I cannot really fix them.
Classic doesn't have API for enemy cast bars. You'll need to disable target cast bars. This addon's target cast bar module will need a re-write but the author seems uninterested in classic.
I'd like to second the plea for a target castbar in classic.
Nugcast says in its description "On classic using LibClassicCasterino for enemy castbar", so this could be a way for it to be done.
I would prefer to use Quartz because it also has latency, mirror, swing timer, tradeskill merge, so am hoping target castbar is added.

Any chance to get target castbars working. I know people say it isnt in classic but thats not true. On Kui Nameplates I am able to see target castbars and it even shows when I interrupt them successfully so there is a way to get enemy castbars working.
But with the nameplate range being only 20 yards it can be annoying as most times you need to interrupt a ranged mob they are further than 20 yards away and having to get in close to see the castbar on nameplates is incredibly annoying
