About
SexyCooldowns is a logarithmic cooldown bar. What's that, you say? Well, most timer bars you're used to are linear. That is, the distance between 0 seconds and 10 seconds is the same as the distance between 50 seconds and 60 seconds. A logarithmic cooldown bar is somewhat different - it represents cooldowns on a compressed timeline, so that cooldowns that are closer to being ready are represented as more active on the bar. This lets you represent a large amount of data on a single bar, and have it remain useful.
In short, SexyCooldown is a single consolidated timer bar for all your spell, pet's spell, item, and proc cooldowns, as well as buffs, debuffs, and totem timers. It's very flexible, and can be customized to fit into your UI as best you see fit.
Features
- Spawn as many bars as you want, and show the specific information you want on each.
- Supports spell and talent cooldowns, explicit and internal item cooldowns, buffs on you, debuffs on you, and debuffs on your target or focus.
- Very highly configurable look and feel. Build bars that will fit into any UI.
- Bars may be oriented horizontally or vertically, and move in either direction.
- Extensible - can support virtually any kind of timer. Currently works as a cooldown, buff, and debuff timer, but the possibilities are endless.
Demo
Here you can see that I have set up three separate bars, one for my cooldowns at the bottom, one for short buffs on me (<45 seconds) above my unit frame, and one for my debuffs on my target above the target unit frame.

Posted Oct 8, 2009Obfu: The first problem is a bug that I'll fix. For the second, the bar should become click-through once you lock it.
ayst: I'm working on tracking that one down. Do you know what action causes it?
Kazragore: The latest build has an "Inactivy Opacity" setting. Set it to 0 to cause it to disappear when there are no cooldowns.
honorix: You can right-click an icon to blacklist it from the bar. If you accidentally blacklist an item, you can remove it from the blacklist in the options.

Posted Oct 8, 2009Tried it out to replace ForteXorcist, since it's quite large and I only use the cooldown bar. It was easy to configure, and at first seemed an ideal replacement. I discovered 2 things that led me back to FX. 1. I could not get SexyCooldown to track my on use trinkets. They form a key part of my cooldown stacking strategies. 2. The bar is not click-through. This really restricts the placement options, and since this information is very important I like to have it near the centre of my screen.

Posted Oct 7, 2009Is it possible that the bar only show when you use any cd's and disappear when no cd's are on?

Posted Oct 7, 2009I love the flexible option, but I don't need to see things like hearthstone cd on it, makes it very filled and crowded. Will there be filtering?

Posted Oct 6, 2009most cooldown bars that I know of is logarithmic (such as ForteXorcist), but I'm gonna give this a try anyway.
