SlickCast

See every cast. Shape every bar.

SlickCast is a modern, lightweight castbar replacement for World of Warcraft. It brings Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror timers into one polished, highly customizable system with empowered-spell support, responsive previews, profiles, and clear cast feedback.

One polished castbar system

Replace Blizzard's Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror timer bars with a consistent SlickCast layout. Every bar has independent settings, while Edit Mode lets you preview realistic casting states and position everything before returning to the action.

🎯 Complete cast coverage

• Customize Player, Target, Focus, Pet, and Mirror bars independently.
• Suppress the matching Blizzard castbars and mirror timers for a clean replacement.
• Preview normal, channeled, empowered, interrupted, failed, uninterruptible, and mirror-timer states in Edit Mode.
• Keep protected interrupt coloring accurate through Blizzard's native renderer.

⚡ Feedback when it matters

• Show optional channel tick markers with brief glow flashes as supported ticks pass.
• Add interrupted and failed-cast shake, result text, and slash-flash feedback.
• Display an optional latency safe zone on Player casts.
• Reverse bar growth and keep supported cast-trail effects aligned with the active direction.

Empowered casts at a glance

See empowered spells as colored charge sections with clear stage markers and release feedback. Choose a traditional filling bar or a focused moving marker; Target and Focus empowered casts keep that marker animated even when WoW protects their timing data.

• Choose Fill Bar or Moving Marker progress.
• Match the active cast theme or build a custom three-color Empower Theme.
• Reverse theme colors and adjust stage brightness, marker color, and marker opacity.
• Highlight attained stages cumulatively when the release stage is available.
• Add stage-completion particles with eight distinct styles, adjustable brightness, a custom color, or a balanced mix of the selected theme colors.

Built to match your interface

SlickCast gives each bar the same deep appearance controls without forcing every bar to look alike. Start with a built-in theme or shape the layout from texture to typography.

🎨 Appearance and layout

• Choose built-in cast themes or customize start, middle, and end gradient colors.
• Select bar textures, horizontal or vertical texture tiling, fonts, colors, labels, timers, borders, opacity, icon placement, and fade timing.
• Configure cast trails, empty-bar color, frame and border color, bar dimensions, offsets, and anchors.
• Size spell icons independently, match them to bar height, and adjust their X/Y offsets. Turn off Reserve Icon Space for a full-width bar with a detached icon.
• Copy settings between bars or apply quick layout templates.

💾 Profiles that travel

• Save and load account-wide profiles.
• Import and export profile strings for sharing or backup.
• Keep each character's active live layout separate while reusing shared profiles when wanted.

Make it yours

• Tune every supported bar independently or copy a finished setup to another bar.
• Use built-in themes and layouts as starting points, then refine colors, textures, fonts, dimensions, anchors, icons, and effects.
• Toggle Edit Mode to preview all bars, test representative cast states, and drag bars into place.
• Right-click an Edit Mode bar to return it to the center before saving a new position.
• Save the finished setup as a profile or export it as a shareable string.
