##MidnightUI v12.0.0.13 - Cooldown Manger Updates and Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

Movable Frame System

• Fixed nudge arrows not hiding for cooldown frames: Essential Cooldowns, Utility Cooldowns, and Tracked Buffs nudge arrows now properly hide after 0.3 seconds when the mouse leaves the frame
  • Root cause: Arrows were attached to the main frame instead of the movableHighlightFrame, causing OnEnter/OnLeave events to not fire properly
  • Solution: Aligned cooldown frame implementation with other modules (ActionBars, BrokerBar) by passing the visible highlight frame to CreateNudgeArrows()
• Fixed timer conflicts in nudge arrow auto-hide: Added proper timer cancellation before creating new timers to prevent multiple conflicting hide operations
• Added nudge arrows to Resource Bars: Primary and Secondary Resource Bars now display nudge arrow controls in move mode, matching functionality of other movable frames

Technical Changes

• Cooldown frames now pass frame.movableHighlightFrame to Movable:CreateNudgeArrows() instead of the main frame
• Arrow references stored on both highlight frame and main frame for compatibility with Movable module's frame iteration
• Enhanced timer cleanup in arrow OnLeave handlers to prevent race conditions

MidnightUI v12.0.0.12 - Cooldown Manager Skinning and Integration

##MidnightUI v12.0.0.12 - Cooldown Manager Skinning and Integration

New Feature: Cooldown Manager Skinning & Integration

Overview

Full support for World of Warcraft 12.0's native Cooldown Manager with extensive customization and integration options.

Features

🎨 Visual Customization

• Icon Borders: Thin, customizable 2-pixel borders around each cooldown icon
• Background Control: Toggle background visibility for each cooldown frame independently
• Frame Borders: Optional borders around entire viewer frames (Essential, Utility, Buff Icon, Buff Bar)
• Improved Icon Display: Texture coordinate cropping reduces rounded corner appearance (10% crop)
• Real-time Color Updates: Border and background colors update instantly without /reload

🔗 Frame Grouping & Attachment

• Flexible Grouping System: Attach cooldown frames to each other in any configuration
  • Essential Cooldowns serves as the primary anchor
  • Utility, Buff Icon, and Buff Bar viewers can attach to Essential or each other
  • Each frame has independent attachment settings (position, offset X/Y)
• Resource Bar Integration:
  • Attach Primary and Secondary resource bars to Essential Cooldowns
  • Bars can be positioned TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, or RIGHT relative to Essential Cooldowns
  • Essential Cooldowns position controlled via WoW's Edit Mode - everything else follows

📏 Width Matching

• Smart Resizing: Automatically match resource bar widths to Essential Cooldowns width
• Primary Bar: Optional width matching for main resource bar (Mana, Energy, Rage, etc.)
• Secondary Bar: Optional width matching for secondary resource bar (Holy Power, Chi, Runes, etc.)
  • Segments automatically redistribute across new width (fixes spacing issues)
  • Database values update to persist through reloads

🔧 Technical Improvements

• Automatic Detection: Scans for Cooldown Manager frames on login (immediate, 1s, 3s delays)
• Persistent Styling: 2-second ticker maintains icon appearance without manual intervention
• Edit Mode Integration: Position maintained when entering/exiting WoW's Edit Mode
• Manual Rescan: Built-in rescan button for troubleshooting (rarely needed)

Settings Location

/midnightui → Cooldown Manager

Supported Frames

• ✅ Essential Cooldowns (EssentialCooldownViewer)
• ✅ Utility Cooldowns (UtilityCooldownViewer)
• ✅ Buff Icon Cooldowns (BuffIconCooldownViewer)
• ✅ Buff Bar Cooldowns (BuffBarCooldownViewer)

Known Limitations

• Icon corners retain slight rounding due to WoW's built-in icon design
• Edit Mode may briefly show incorrect position before auto-correction applies

Usage Tips

1. Position Essential Cooldowns using WoW's Edit Mode (ESC → Edit Mode)
2. Enable frame grouping to attach other cooldown frames
3. Enable resource bar attachment to create seamless UI integration
4. Use width matching for perfectly aligned resource bars
5. Adjust spacing with X/Y offset controls for each attachment
