About Acherus Runes
Description
Acherus is a Death Knight addon providing displays for runes, procs, runic power, and diseases. A great effort has been put in to make all features customizable. Animations are provided to make it very easy to see when things become available and unavailable.
Enjoy!
Usage
Slash Command
To open the configuration type /ac or /acherus, click on the minimap button, or use a Data Broker display that's compatible with launchers.

Translation Request
I currently need translators to help convert the English in the menus into the following languages:
- French
- Korean
- Latin American Spanish
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish
- Traditional Chinese
Go to the localization page if you'd like to translate. It's open to anyone with an account. Curse has a system setup so that phrases can be translated very fast and easily with no manual editing of files. Thanks!
FAQ
Acherus uses tons of memory / cpu!
This is just because it starts with "A" and is loading first in your setup, and getting blamed for all the resources used in shared libraries by all your addons. If you're concerned you can test by installing standalone versions of the libraries, especially Ace3. It's normal though; some addon always gets blamed for the shared libraries. It's not a real problem.
What was AcherusLoader?
AcherusLoader was a folder in older versions that helped the addon load only on Death Knight characters. Newer versions handle this differently. Now, if you forget to manually disable Acherus on a non-DK, it will disable itself. You can delete the old AcherusLoader folder if you still have it.

Morsk:

- Forward-compatible with 4.2 PTR's new CLEU args.

Comments
Really hoping for an update/continued maintenance and features for this once great addon.
Thanks for the great addon! Are you planning an update for 4.3?
When i have acherus runes enabled i can't use the 'Zoom' function of Bartender4 (it hides the borders of the default blizzard icons on the action bars).
I have the show minimap icon disabled, but sometimes it's on the minimap anyway. If i enable than disable the option it is hidden again, but after a reload ui it's back.
- No more AcherusLoader folder; Acherus can handle disabling itself.
- Supports AddonLoader.
- Adjustments for 2-digit timers, fixes overlapping.
- Only show sparks when in bounds of the bar.
- Added proc for Will of the Necropolis.
- Option to disable procs individually.
- Fixed duration of Killing Machine.
- Fixed packaging issues with some libraries.
- Fixed Epidemic. (It's Rnwo's fix from comments here.)
I also added Scarlet Fever since it was requested and discussed in comments, but I'm interested in feedback about whether there's any point in doing it since 4.0.6 tied it to Blood Plague.
