Upgrade Notice
Users upgrading from versions prior to 0.6.6 will lose any aura blacklist settings. A change was made to aura identification to resolve conflicts with skills such as Sacred Shield. Please re-blacklist any auras you aren't interested in after upgrading.
About
SexyCooldowns is a logarithmic cooldown bar. What's that, you say? Well, most timer bars you're used to are linear. That is, the distance between 0 seconds and 10 seconds is the same as the distance between 50 seconds and 60 seconds. A logarithmic cooldown bar is somewhat different - it represents cooldowns on a compressed timeline, so that cooldowns that are closer to being ready are represented as more active on the bar. This lets you represent a large amount of data on a single bar, and have it remain useful.
In short, SexyCooldown is a single consolidated timer bar for all your spell, pet's spell, item, and proc cooldowns, as well as buffs, debuffs, and totem timers. It's very flexible, and can be customized to fit into your UI as best you see fit.
Features
- Spawn as many bars as you want, and show the specific information you want on each.
- Supports spell and talent cooldowns, explicit and internal item cooldowns, buffs on you, debuffs on you, and debuffs on your target or focus.
- Very highly configurable look and feel. Build bars that will fit into any UI.
- Bars may be oriented horizontally or vertically, and move in either direction.
- Extensible - can support virtually any kind of timer. Currently works as a cooldown, buff, and debuff timer, but the possibilities are endless.
Demo
Here you can see that I have set up three separate bars, one for my cooldowns at the bottom, one for short buffs on me (<45 seconds) above my unit frame, and one for my debuffs on my target above the target unit frame.

I've been trying to post comments to fix all the bugs I've found since 4.0.1
So far I've gotten it working pretty well.

Posted Jan 13, 2011Is there a way to enable right-clicking the icons so that the spells are blacklisted?
Got some spells that I don't want to show up... even if it means to manually integrate them into the .lua files!

Posted Jan 17, 2011lines 342 and 343:
else
self.icon:Cancel()
line 932:
-- Sometimes this may not do anything if it's not a valid aura, but hey, we can try.
function cooldownPrototype:Cancel()
if self.name then
CancelUnitBuff("player", self.name)
end
end
Consequently, if you do want just be able to right click the spell to blacklist it, remove the lines:
if IsModifierKeyDown() then
AND
end
from around
self.icon:Blacklist()
Also in the prototype.lua file (they will be lines 340 and 342 after you make the modifications I said above).

Posted Dec 30, 2010Personally, I think Sexy is a much cleaner way to go for the UI. However, if you can't make the changes I did, Sexy isn't much help since Cata.

Posted Dec 28, 2010Made changes to spells.lua as you mentioned and my spells are now showing up on SexyCooldown perfectly with the quick testing I did.
Haven't made changes to the RaidDebuffs.lua file yet.
For those that aren't sure how to change the lua file, I've put some directions below to make it easy.
The lua files are located where you installed WoW.
In the World of Warcraft directory, go into Interface\Addons\SexyCooldown\Modules.
In the Modules folder, you'll see the lua files.
To be safe, create a new folder in the Modules folder, called Original.
Copy and paste the file you are going to change, eg. spells.lua into the Original folder.
That way if you totally mess the file up, you can always copy the original file back over, so no need to worry if you end up making a mistake.
Once you've put a copy into the Original folder, open the lua file you want to change with Notepad (Notepad comes on all Windows systems).
Make the changes as given by Spinto below, save the file, and you're all set.
As a tip, you can use Ctrl+F to find words/phrases in Notepad.
Eg. I used Ctrl+F to find the phrase "cacheSpellsForBook" where the change in spells.lua needed to be made.
For those that may be wondering, the numbers shown in RaidDebuffs.lua relate to spell ids. If you look up a spell on wowhead, the web address will show "spell=###" with ### being the id of the spell.
So if you search "www.wowhead.com/spell=772" it should come up with a Rend ability.
Given author isn't doing anything with this addon, looks like we'll need to make the changes ourselves :)

And it will no longer come up as "out of date."
