Using TellMeWhen as a buff reminder?

Guides UI and Macro
1

Just a quick question. I’m terribly forgetful when it comes to buffs since I rarely play a class with castable buffs. Therefore I’d like to use an addon to remind myself to cast things like Lightning Shield or Battle Shout. Instead of downloading a separate addon like Buffwatch can I use TMW as a reminder?

My basic idea is to have TMW display an icon if I’m not buffed. (If I rez and haven’t used Battle Shout there will be a big ol’ Battle Shout icon front and center.) I’m used to using TMW to track buffs and buff uptime, but how do I set it up where instead of an icon appearing when I’m buffed, an icon disappears when I have said buff?

There are multiple options when creating icons. One of them is “Buff/Debuff”. The one right below it is “Missing Buff/Debuff”.

Alternatively you can just make the normal Buff/Debuff but move the opacity bar to Hidden on Present and 100% on Absent.
