Proc-induced button glowing in default UI?

Guides UI and Macro
1
Hi all,

I've recently been pruning as many addons as I can from my UI but now I'm left with a problem;
Some of my hotkeys used to illuminate/glow when there was an associated proc (ex: tidal waves buff --> glowing healing surge/wave) but now they do not.. I recall this is (or was?) a toggle available in the interface panel but I can no longer find it. Does anyone know if this is still in game, or if there are any addon-free workarounds to get this back into my interface?

Would really appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks

To be clear, they would do this BEFORE I had installed the addons that I'm now in the process of removing (via the default UI).

Try the displaySpellActivationOverlays CVar:
/run SetCVar("displaySpellActivationOverlays",1)

/run SetCVar("displaySpellActivationOverlays",1)


Thanks for your response, just copypasted that in but doesn't seem to be the fix unless I have to relog or something..?

Update: reloaded, relogged, restarted, still no work. Still unresolved and hoping for additional solutions.

Grab AdvancedInterfaceOptions and browser through the CVar Browser. That was the only thing that jumped out at me as being plausible.

Thanks for another response. Just looking through; quite a long list of options.. Any idea what this proc-based button glow is formally called? I can't remember for the life of me

Update: Just went through the entire list (took all 32mins of that time and some prior) and the only thing in there even close was displaySpellActivationOverlays ...but that's for the overlays in the middle of the screen rather than a button glow overlay for the associated spell/ability :(
Still unresolved.

It's called multiple things in multiple places even within the calling chain Blizzard uses to invoke it.

I posted a thread to this forum at one point detailing the inconsistencies in that, but searching this forum for things gives me gas (Blizzard - please work on improving the search functions here, mkay?).

Oof.. I feel like it used to be labelled in the interface as a checkbox with "Enable Button Glow" or something like that... But no such thing seems to exist any more?
