When you first login with this AddOn you will see a black transparent rectangle with a blue bar labeled 'Default', called the encounter pane, in the center of your screen. Shift+Click on it to move it. From left to right you will see:

Menu Icon: Opens the configuration dialog
Folder Icon: Opens a drop down menu to activate encounters
Lock Icon: Toggles frame anchors
Windows Icon: Opens a drop down menu to show interface windows

Also, if you ever hide the pane and can't get it to show, type /dxe for commands. There is also a minimap icon, which can open the configuration dialog.

Thank you so much for the update just now! As a tank I choose to only track certain timers and the timers I chose on several fights weren't working lol. Horridon Triple Puncture not showing was a pain! Keep up the good work, been using DXE since the beginning and glad to see it is back!

Thanks,

Sidney

Any news on If DXE is going to be updated? Or is it in motion of being updated? Such a great addon to let die.

I hate to raid without DXE! BW and DBM is just annoying and nowhere near configurable as DXE.

I'd like to see a MoP update aswell!

Any chance for a true MoP update? I'd really love to keep using this addon and would be a bit upset if I was forced to use something else.

I posted a zipfile with some spellid changes & updated the lua where I found it was causing errors for DS/FL & BH at http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1194594-What-add-on-is-this-!

The changes work for me in LFR for DS but not sure for FL or BH

In an effort to hopefully stop all the private messages I'm posting here. I'm not raiding and haven't been since shortly after the start of Cataclysm. I did some of the stubbing out of encounters in the first raid tier in Cataclysm and nothing since then. Harleschorsch appears to have done most of the work on the addon since then. I have no ideas what his plans are. I'm really not in a position to work on this anymore.
