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

The most recent development version of EBB is available directly from the WoWAce SVN via http://www.wowace.com/projects/elkbuffbars/files/
For example my warrior uses EBB to track target debuffs:
x) I only want to see my own Rend (_very_ important for arms)
x) I also only want to see my Deep Wounds, not 5 bars from other warriors
x) Sunder Armor, ThunderClap, DemoShout should be displayed regardless if i or another warrior applied / refreshed it
Would there be a way to add a "show only if self-applied" checkbox for each buff/debuff instead of the current general setting for whole bar-groups?
Pigmonkey Said: "A quick fix for the Self Cast Buffs:
1. Open ElkBuffBars.lua in Notepad
2. Find the line that contains "isMine = UnitAura". Note that there will be some code before and after this segment in quotes
3. After this line, add:
if isMine == "player" then
isMine = true
else
isMine = false
end
Save and reload your UI. This should work."
If you need some visual help as to how to apply this code you can view my edited file here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v166/Trailslayer/Ebbfix.jpg
I hope this helps you guys get by until the author can fix this.

Anyone else having this problem? Trying to raid is pretty tough with a stack of debuffs on your target that goes to the top of the screen. I'd love to hotfix it but I can't seem to put the code in on my own... I've tried a few locations related to that barset but nothing has worked so far.
1. Open ElkBuffBars.lua in Notepad
2. Find the line that contains "isMine = UnitAura". Note that there will be some code before and after this segment in quotes
3. After this line, add:
if isMine == "player" then
isMine = true
else
isMine = false
end
Save and reload your UI. This should work.
but I want to use the Mimimalistic setup. How would I go about doing that? I cant find an option to do so.
However i struggle to find the function to let the addon notify me when buffs on me is about to expire (like flashing screen, sending me a text or play a sound). If the function isn't there would you consider implementing it in the future? thanks :-)
With those few features it will be the ultimate buffs addon :)
