Good News
Hey there, i just started to work on a new version of CooldownButtons, i dont have an ETA yet, but the basics are allready done! For more Infos you can check the support thread in wowace forum.
About
Q: Why did i wrote this addon?
A: I wrote CooldownButtons after i was annoyed from always being asked "Is your Rebirth ready?" And having no space for the Rebirth-Spell on my Action Bars to track the Cooldown there.
Q: Okay, and why aren't you using one of the X other Cooldown tracking Addons?
A: Couz they fail! I dont like to have Bars for my Cooldowns, and i dont know any other Addon that tracks Cooldowns without Bars and not on my Actionbars.

fennia Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:37:17This addon works like a charm for me! Keep on working. This is one, or maybe, the best "show-me-all-my-cooldowns" addon, i ever had. :D ;)

DoTimer does this.

whosthere Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:42:12I'm not native speaker for english, so I need your kindness.
First, Thank you and your nice addon. but I have a small problem. When a cooldown for one skill finishes, All cooldown buttons are always re-arranged. It cause cooldownbuttons-missing-for-sight(or confusing). So this 're-arrange' function must be option(can be chosen by user).
What do you think about my suggestion? Thanks.

neonman3 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:45:29No, I wasn't using the -nolib release. I tested lots of releases (including -nolib), as well as CooldownButtons-2.1.13.zip. All of them had the same problem.

Netrox Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:40:22hi neonman3, are you using the no-lib release? :P i think yes, so i'll add "ButtonFacade" to Optional Deps list for next update.
Thanks for the info :)

neonman3 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:59:09I can't get CooldownButtons to use the ButtonFacade buttons. Buffalo and bartender is working just fine with ButtonFacade, but for some reason CooldownButtons isn't. Any ideas on what could be wrong? (Using the latest version of both addons).
Sadly I don't have any real info on the problem, there isn't any errors or anything being generated.
Edit: This also happens if I disable all other addons but buttonfacade and cooldownbuttons on a new character. local LBF = LibStub("LibButtonFacade", true) is returning nil.
Edit2: Ok, problem solved. Can't believe I didn't check this sooner. I just added "ButtonFacade" to the "## OptionalDeps:" list in CooldownButtons.toc and now it's working.

sun Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:31:00awesome addon, i hate those bars :) i think you should add a Minimum timelimit button or better a configurable filter for Save and Hide because as a DK once i use all my rune CDB just shows all my spellbook as CDButton :P which is quite a bit too much, i can filter all the CD abilities but not the basic abilities which results in that due to Rune CD.
