Cooldown Manager - Needs more customization

I just saw official word that WeakAuras is done. They’re not making a version for Midnight because there is no point.
This was my biggest fear. This puts a big damper on my excitement for the the expansion.

I am open to using Cooldown Manager, and obviously I have NO CHOICE regardless.
However, EVERY SINGLE THING is a “Square Icon”. Basically just the spell icon from your spell book.

I don’t know how to put into words how frustrating that is coming from a current UI that has cool and unique flavor for each of my class/specs. I have some REALLY neat weakauras that I have built over the years.

Even if it’s not in time for the launch of Midnight, I would REALLY like to hear that there are plans to add more customization, or even let players use custom textures of their choosing, and sounds.
I’m not trying to slam you guys, but a little square icon for every single buff, proc, notification, debuff, etc, is very bland and boring, and also contributes to visual fatigue.

I wish I would link images here so you could see some of my weakauras for examples, but in any case, I really hope you consider expanding on the customization in the future.

Agreed, I’d like to see custom textures, fonts, and sounds.

Hopefully the Media Library addon feature can tie into the default Cooldown Tracker.

It needs debuff tracking. You can’t even see the duration of your dots on the mob you have targeted without looking at it’s target frame.

It doesn’t have that???
My feral and aff lock aren’t going to love trying to squint to read 5 dot icons on nameplates.

[Pawn Stars guy]: Best we can do is square icons, 6 months from now.

No one knows. He’s saying it doesn’t now, and he’s right. There’s no way they ship it without that very basic thing once they’ve removed weakauras and nameplate add-ons

Blizzard needs to offer every single functional aspect of weakauras as part of the default UI. Anything less is a failure.

Yes!! I also use textures and custom textures! I absolutely hate icons. Bars are kind of okay but I REALLY want textures. + I use DynamicCam and I can’t do the off shoulder thing with the default blizz spell alerts because they’re designed for the character at the center.

My UI (No custom textures though in this one. Just the ones in the game)
