Elkano's BuffBars
EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.
Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.
Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.
In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Is there a way to disable a group without having to delete it?
Answered my own question - create another profile without those groups. Duh...
Is there a way to blacklist a buff by like shift-rightclicking or something similar?
That's a really nice idea actually, please make it happen.
Sometimes it's the small, obvious features you missed as a coder...
In latest alpha (r189), ctrl-leftclick should work for that :)
Hello, I've got a question for you. I often switch between windowed and fullscreen mode in wow, which causes the groups to change their location due to change in resolution. The only solution I've found is to create two profiles, one for windowed and one for fullscreen. I was wandering if there's something else I can do to make it easier. I had a similar issue with bartender, but since it offers the option to set different anchor points (I.e bottom, bottomleft etc.) I was able to fix it. Is there a similar functionality in your addon? If not, would you consider adding it? Thank you.
Hi, I can't see any of the tooltips for my buffs. Is there a way to fix this? Debuffs are fine. Thanks :)
They are both handled by pretty much the same code and both are working fine for me.
Only idea I have would be that something is blocking the mouse from interacting with your buff group. So check if you disabled the mouse for that group or, using /framestack , if some other invisible frame is blocking.
Ah, yes, I had an invisible frame on top of it, thanks so much! :)
Is there a way just to display the Roll the Bones buffs for Rogue and then to have the bar hide when out of combat?
There is currently no condition implemented based on combat status, so unless the buff fades on its own after combat, there isn't atm.
Question! Is there a way to make the buffs and debuffs growth to the left and right? I have the bars turned off and just use the icons, so I would love to see the same growth type as what Blizz currently does, but with yours. I like the fact that I can move them where I need them, change the transparency, fonts, etc, but still like just the icons and horizontal growth. I'm just not sure if I'm blind and not seeing the option or if it isn't there. Thanks!
With the current EBB v2 code base, sadly there is not.
2.5.0 - r188 is out as beta, let me know if you find any remaining bugs.
Cheers for updating your AddOn !!!!

Will you be updating this for legion? I've used this mod since it came out and i'd feel lost without it!! Please do!
Even though I have been hardly playing lately, I have no intention to drop support.
So YES, I will be updating.
