In the 4.0 patch, Blizzard introduced their own (very nice) spell overlays. These happened after specific talents or abilities became usable and put a nice graphic on your screen and make their associated buttons glow.
For example, if a Mage got Fingers of Frost then their Deep Freeze and Ice Lance buttons would get this cute little golden glow around them.
This plugin for Power Auras Classic adds that functionality. You can assign "actions", which are essentially spells, macros or items to specific auras. When the aura in question is shown, the associated actions will glow on your action bars. And when the aura is hidden, the glows would disappear.
The AddOn was designed to assist in replicating what a lot of players have been asking for; customizable spell alerts. While Power Auras already filled most of this niche with the epic graphics, it didn't make buttons look all pretty. Now it does through this plugin.
Actions can be one of three things, and any aura can have as many actions as it so desires.

Could you also give me a rough idea on how many buttons you have visible on screen at any given time in your arms spec? The addon is noticeably more optimized if you've got fewer visible buttons. If I'm still unable to reproduce it I'll re-add the option that allows you to disable the spell-to-macro glows that the default UI gives, since I'm fairly certain that'd be the cause of the problem you're experiencing. Update: I did reproduce a minor CPU usage spike, it didn't noticeably affect my frame rate but I'll see what I can do about it. If I do fix it then I'll probably release it later this week in time for 4.2. I uploaded a beta quality release just now, it's probably being verified or something (it's not appearing in the other files tab yet), if it's still not up in a few hours I'll zip it myself and put a link to it here. It might fix your problem, but I'm not holding my breath on it.

Here's my bar setup for arms, this might appear as a lot, but that's just how us warriors have to be . No doubt it could be cleaned up a bit though.
Edit: And yes, that's the addon.

After further testing of the issue with the beta version. It seems that this reduced the issue a bit.
It also seems that the problem occurs not when TfB procs, but when I use my macro to change stances and Overpower. Not quite sure who's side this issue would be on now. Hope this helps. |

I'll toy with another performance improvement today that could use more memory but reduce CPU usage by a significant margin when dealing with large updates. Update: Managed to trim some fat off the addon, from what I can tell. Going to see if there's an easy way to reduce how much time is spent processing buttons, as that's always been the killer. Also added support for the 60 extra buttons the RazerNaga addon has Putting out another beta later, it's got a few more changes (highly experimental stuff, works fine from my limited testing though). In the meantime, enjoy this lovely quote from the PTR. "How do you make Whirlwind keep spinning for a long time" Update: Pushed a new beta out, this should optimize the amount of updates that are processed when something big happens (like a stance change), also changed how often buttons are updated. And there's a Button Blacklist feature in the configuration now which has an Optimize button that will tune the addon to ignore buttons that aren't used by your settings, if you want to try that out. Net result is it could be worse, should be better - especially in combination with the blacklist.

Frost Disease Problem
I have auras set up to show when diseases are not active.
I have buttons set up to flash Outbreak, Icy Touch, Howling Blast, and Chains of Ice when Frost Fever falls off, and Outbreak and Plague Strike when Blood Plague falls off. The problem is this: when I use Chains of Ice or Howling Blast, it turns off the flash for Outbreak and Plague Strike, even though Blood Plague is not on the target. The auras from PAC work fine, however for this particular aura, I prefer to use a blank text aura, so that all I see is the button flash, and really would rather not clutter my screen with more auras. I am using the most recent versions of PAC and Buttons. |

Re: Frost Disease Problem
Can you try changing the aura settings so that they display a custom texture? (Just use a blank entry for that field, it'll give the same effect as not showing). Also, are you using any bar mods like Bartender? And was/is this issue in a prior version? (4.1.0a works just fine in patch 4.2, downgrading to that might fix the issue - if it does then I can easily isolate the problem change and fix it). |

No Timer shown?
I'm currently not able to show the Timer within the specified button, although I enabled a Timer for the Aura. Tried a lot of different settings, but without success.
Are there any things I should take care of? PS: Glow does work fine, that's not the problem. Just the timer will not be shown.

Re: Re: No Timer shown?
Yes, tried with active and without active Timer. Tried Aura with Text-output and Icon. Currently I'm using Bartender 4 with ButtonFacade. Could try Dominos or the Standardbuttons if you like. The PA-Timer is visible, but not the timer within the button. Also tried transparent Background, but this does make no difference. I will quickly check without ButtonFacade/Bartender. Edit: Strange: Disabled ButtonFacade without success. Dominos does not work also. Glow works, but no timer. With the Standard-UI there is no glow (but this doesn't matter from my end). The interesting thing ist: While wie PA-Window is oben, the Dummy-Timer on the button will be shown correctly. Means, Test-Mode will clearly show your Timer on Bartender4-Button. But the "real" timer while the Action is on CD and the window is closed will not be shown. Please note my export. Maybe something is wrong with this, but I have no clue, what: Version:4.22; icon:Ability_Warlock_ShadowFlame; buffname:Schattenflamme; bufftype:7; duration:5; mine:true; inVehicle:0; textaura:true; ismounted:0; timer.enabled:true Edit 2: Disabled all Addons except Bartender und PowerAuras without any change.

Sorry, it was my fault. Please excuse any work you might have had with this matter.
Checked this matter again with http://www.wowhead.com/spell=32392 "Shadow Embrace". It's a Warlock-Debuff on the target stacking 3 times. Both, the timer AND the Stacks will be shown on a button of my choice. I Used "Debuff"-Setting in PowaAuras. Trying this with http://www.wowhead.com/spell=47897 "Shadowflame" with "Action useable" or "my spell cooldown" (where ist the difference, by the way?) seems not working. Although Shadowflame is a dot/debuff on the target, I would like to see the cooldown (12 seconds) in the timer on the button. Therefore I choosed action useable. Before, I only used the Glow after this 12 seconds, means glowing for a few seconds after the spell is ready again. I mistakenly added the timer to all of such spells. But this does not work, I have to reverse the Cooldown-Check in order to get a correct working timer. Now it works. Facepalm The only thing I could say that it would be nice to have ist, a timer counting down the CD AND a glow after the timer has been elapsed. But...hey... as long as there is no number counting down, the spell is ready. So that's not a thing which must be realized. But the reason for my original request and the reason why I have done this incorrectly. Thanks again for this very very usefull addon to PowerAuras.
