This is a rune frame replacement addon. The addon brings together the most critical information that you need to time your abilities into one location. Also, the addon emphasizes areas that need your immediate attention by using bright, fast-moving bars. Finally, the addon puts indicators of events that are happening soon on the same time scale so that you see the exact order in which the events will happen.
A primary feature of the addon is that it shows the 2.5-second grace period after a rune becomes available when it should be used in order to avoid wasting rune production. The addon also shows the global cooldown (GCD) on the same scale, so you can tell exactly when you can use your next abilities. Finally, the addon has optional target disease bars that can tell you exactly when your diseases will wear off relative to your runes and GCD.
Rune Display
In this addon, there are 6 colored vertical bars that grow upward. Each colored bar represents a rune, just like you've learned to expect from other similar addons. When the bar is completely filled to the top of the frame, the rune is ready for use. As a colored bar nears the top, you'll see a brighter bar appear, moving upward. This bright bar represents the 2.5 second grace period in which you should use the corresponding rune. If you use the rune before the bright bar completely slides off the top of the frame, then you are using your runes optimally and you are well on your way to maximizing your DPS or threat.
In case some folks considering this addon don't know what the rune grace period is, let me give a brief explanation. For every death knight, a particular rune becomes available for use at the time when both of these conditions are satisfied:

Reale, I sent you a PM so that we can figure out what's causing the GCD to disappear for you. Note that the mod GCD display requires that you have at least one non-combat pet (not necessarily summoned).
Vog, I added more detail to the mod description that should help answer your questions. |

I've read about the grace time, but I can't quite wrap my head around it.
-The white is obvious, it's the global cooldown. -I assume the height of the white line indicates the 2.5 second grace period? So the optimal time to use it would be just before that period is about to end? -But then the bar lights up as well, theres like a light bar moving within the darker bar? So how does this addon indicate the best time to use the rune? |

Great Mod
Love the mod, very well done. Only issue I see is the GCD (white marks) are dissappearing sometimes.
Without GCD marks: (Compression mangled pic a bit, looks normal in game)
