Curse

Are you getting any errors?  The only thing that should prevent it from showing is if the Blood Shield setting is disabled.  You could send me any errors or the LUA settings file and I could see if I could find any thing.  The LUA setting file is at <WoW Folder>/WTF/Account/<Account Name>/SavedVariables/CompactRunes.lua.

I added some code to detect the T15 gear in the 0.8.5 alpha.  It will count the number of T15 pieces and at 4+ Soul Reaper should "proc" at 45% instead of 35%.

Can you please verify if it works correctly?  You can find it here:

I will soon be adding options to unlock the other bars and move them.

You can control the size of the rune bars and the rest of the UI scales based on that, by default.  Does that not accomplish what you want?

Thanks.  You can control how dim it is using the OOC Alpha slider in the options.  That controls the transparency out of combat.  Just set it to 1.0.

I'm not positive on the second question.  The sides of those bars should match up with the sides of the runes so that left side should be about where the left side of the left-most rune is.  The right side is about where the right side of the right-most rune is.  Are you asking if it is possible to have it extend the entire way across the rune display so it is as wide as the rune display (incuding the border)?

The width of the Runic Power Bar and Blood Shield Bar are dynamic at the moment.  They are the size of two runes plus the gap between the runes so that it should span the same distance as the rune pairs.

I guess I could add an option that would switch it so it is as wide as the entire rune display.  I've been trying to avoid too many options because it can make it fairly complex for people.

The disease timers are the same size as the rune bars so that is why the bottom two bars are also based on the rune bar width.

You can control the alpha (kind of the brightness) of recharging runes so you could make them dimmer.  That is for all recharging runes.  It might be that DDR made the second recharging rune in a pair even dimmer.  I'd have to add some code to make that possible on my addon in the same way as DDR.

There is a concept of "almost ready" that I added for someone.  It will change the alpha to another value when the rune will be ready in a certain time or less.  You could set the Recharge Alpha very close to 0.0 for now then set the almost ready time to 4 seconds and the almost ready alpha to whatever you like.  It would also be possible to make the almost ready time greater than 4 seconds if you edit the Lua settings file.  That might approximate DDR better.

I'll have to look into it though.  It sounds like you want the runes that have not started recharging to not be visible at all.  It would only apply to the runes on right as runes on the left should always be recharging.
