WeakAuras

WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.

Features include:

An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm spell alerts
Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras
Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers
Preset and user-defined animations
Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds
Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time
CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, and prevention of full aura scanning
Powerful customization options, such as animation paths, on-show/on-hide code, and custom triggers, for Lua-savvy users

To open the options window, type "/wa" or "/weakauras"

Note: WeakAuras works better with more media!

SharedMedia for more bar textures.
SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.

For in-depth documentation, see the Usage page.

I just tagged 1.4.6 with some fixes from the community since authors are semiafk. Hopefully they don't mind too much =)

Hi there. I was wondering if you have any plans to allow coloring the border for dynamic groups? As it is right now I can recolor the borders of normal groups, but customization of the border in dynamic groups is more limited for some reason.

Congrats on being featured in WoW Insider, frankly I think it took way too long.

All I can say is :)

There's very little about the deeper functionality of WeakAuras (WeakAuras is the Windows to PowerAuras' Linux? It's entirely the other way around, in my view), but it's a wonderful introduction.

Hey guys I am trying to set up an aura to show me the Escape Artist Icon, when am slowed or immobilized. Is there an easy way to do this rather then make one icon for each specific spell in the game? Can I add multiple checks to one aura or will it only be true if all the triggers are met?

I'm having a problem with progress bars borders. Settings are saved but after a relog/reload the borders dont show up until I edit one of the border settings again. Bars are in a dynamic group.

Personal experience tells the latter is harder...
