I'm experiencing the exact same problem after 8.2.

Hoping for a fix.

Sadly, since the author (xbeeps) hasn't been active on the site since Sat, Sep, 8 2018 I don't think there's much chance of a fix any time soon, unless someone else is able to post a fix. :(

You can fix this by replacing the file:

Castbars\Castbars.lua

Line No: 574

texture:SetTexture("Spells\\AURA_01");

 For: 

texture:SetTexture("Interface\\CastingBar\\UI-CastingBar-Spark");

I don't believe it's the same texture, but it looks 100x better than a green square.

I also had to change like 568 in Castbars\Castbars.lua

From:

frame.gcd:SetPoint("BOTTOM", frame.statusBar, "TOP", 0, 0);

To

frame.gcd:SetPoint("BOTTOM", frame.statusBar, "TOP", 0, -9);

This fixed the GCD mark from being positioned 50% above the rest of the Castbar.

Not the best fix but I think this is the best we will get..

Thanks to Patrick1164 for the fix. 

How can I look for a custom spark in wow or something that is already in the wow files to get what's fits for me best ?

I will close this issue in a few days thanks anyways. 

Thanks guys

Doesn't work fully in game but;

As texture paths in-game was phased out in favor of textureIDs, it was no longer possible to do any meaningful navigation or filtering using this tool.
To fix that issue, a complete table of all valid textureIDs mapped to their real texture paths, has been supplied with this addon through the "ArtTextureID.lua" file.

I doubt we'll ever get a real fix from the developer but at least it works. 

The original texture number is 165623, as per https://wow.tools/files/#search=&page=1&sort=0&desc=asc 

I've set the value on line 574 to this:
texture:SetTexture("165623");

I've set line 568 to this:

frame.gcd:SetPoint("BOTTOM", frame.statusBar, "TOP", 0, -9);

Not sure it looks right as it did, but to be honest, I'm not sure I ever noticed the GCD spark before.
