About Cooldowns
A World of Warcraft add-on that displays numeric cooldown counters on buttons and other icons with cooldowns.
*** Having Problems? ***
Before posting a problem report, please make sure you are using the most recent release and try resetting all Cooldowns settings using the Defaults button in the Interface Configuration window. If your settings got messed up somehow during the recent updates, setting them to defaults may solve the problem. If that doesn't help, and you still don't see cooldown text, try adjusting the pixel width setting to a smaller number (default should be 27). If that doesn't help, post a problem report and make sure to include which other addons you run and any special configuration changes you make so I can try to replicate the problem. Also, if you run an older version because newer ones are not working for you, let me know. Otherwise, until scientists invent the teleporter and I can port to your computer, there isn't much else I can do for you. ;)
*** NEW FEATURES IN 4.2 ****
- Users can now set the minimum pixel width for cooldown text display. Cooldown counters will not appear on buttons or other cooldown icons that have a width smaller than the number chosen (except for the quest watch buttons which always show cooldown text). The default is 27 which is between the size of the standard player buff icon and the standard unit frame debuff icon. The standard action button width is 36 pixels. Scaling a cooldown icon using another addon until it is smaller than the selected minimum width will cause the cooldown text to stop displaying on that icon.
- Now checks higher up the frame hierarchy for a named frame for filtering. Should allow filtering for addons with buttons that had nameless immediate parent frames.
*** NEW FEATURE IN 4.1 – FILTERING ***
Too many cooldown texts all over the place now? What happened? I made Cooldowns work with any visible cooldown in any addon (bigger than width of 27 pixels). But now there is also… Filtering! Check out the Filtering tab in the Cooldowns configuration panel. You will see a list of all the UI frames that Cooldowns is aware of and you can uncheck the ones that you don’t want to see cooldown text on. Don’t want to see cooldown text on Bartender4 bar 6? Uncheck BT4Bar6. Don’t want to see text on WeakAuras icons? Uncheck WeakAurasFrame.
*** NEW FEATURES IN 4.0 ***
- Can now configure the minimum cooldown time for cooldown text to appear. Used to be hard-coded to 1.5 seconds. (thanks OptimusSupernova)
- Better support for other addons including TellMeWhen.
*** NEW FEATURES IN 3.0 ***
- Can now select whether cooldown numbers flash the alternate color or display it as solid as the cooldown nears zero.
- Can now select fonts in the addon options panel from a dropdown list containing all known in-game font names.
- Text file in the addon folder contains list of known in-game fonts.
- Cooldown counters now displayed on the spell button flyout frame (e.g. priest chakra).
Configure colors, fonts, and other options through the Cooldowns interface options panel.
Please see the readme.txt file for a tutorial on how to configure fonts in Cooldowns.
* 4.2.3
- Fixed problem caused when rebooting computer while long cooldown is running

Glad to hear it.
I ended up using the default setting and then I lowered my font to 20 and the number of pixels to 17 and it worked. Thanks for your help.
Weirdest thing, this addon worked swell but now since the update it's doing a brief .25 or .5 second lag spike everytime i'm in combat switching targets. I confirmed it was this addon by disabling all my addons and slowly enabling one at a time. I don't get it, it worked perfectly before.
That's interesting. I've been tanking heroics to test (lots of target switching) and haven't seen this problem. Maybe it's this addon having a problem with another. What other addons do you run?
I have some problems with this addon after the update.
The problem is that it doesnt work. the filtering is registering my bars from bartender but there are no numbers in the bar.
Anyone knows what the problem is or how to fix it? have tried to reinstall the addon with no succes
Are you scaling your bartender bars? If so, they might be scaled smaller than Cooldowns minimum. Try version 4.2. You can now set the minimum size to be what you want. If you scale down your bars, set the number smaller.
Doesn't seem to have filtering options for auras (buffs/debuffs) in shadowed unit frames. Even with no boxes ticked in filtering, I still have numbers that are fairly big over my small buff icons in suf.
Thanks for this bug report. The weird sized text was definitely a bug and it's been fixed in version 4.2. I also put in better filtering so that ou can now filter SUF frames.
awesome. Both things are working flawlessly, thanks a lot.
Cooldowns seems not to be working with my addons at the moment. I believe tehre is a conflict with TidyPlates and possibly TankPlates. For the moment, the addon does absolutely nothing.
Worked ok for me with tidy plates, and I assume I was running tank plates too because I didn't see a separate addon for tank plates. I tanked 2 instances with the addons, and everything seemed to work. Do you change the default settings for tidy plates? If so, what do you do?
I'll check out these addons.
It doesn't work for me, either. I even turned it off and turned it back on and nothing happened. It's driving me nuts because Blizzard's in-game cooldown timer is hard for me to see >.<
addagai29: Are you running other addons as well? Let me know so I can test you set up.
I am using SpartanUI (which uses Bartender4 for the action bars) and I'm having a bit of a scaling issue with the numbers once the CD gets below 2sec (once it starts to show tenths of a sec). My SpartanUI scale is at 1.0 and if the CD is in double digits its fine but when it gets below 2sec then the size of the number becomes very tiny with the decimal.
