⚡Update v4.4⚡

Fix: API & Flow Optimization. Icon Sieze Bug.

✨ New Feature: Dual Threshold Logic:
We have decoupled the icon visibility from the glow effects to give you absolute control over your combat Flow.

💎 Smart Icon Resizing: You can now freely adjust the icon size via the options menu. The entire frame and its textures adapt instantly, maintaining high-fidelity quality and pixel-perfect alignment.

⚡Optimized CPU usage⚡

✨ "New intense, stable electric-blue glow effect." ✨

Stack position correction: they are now in the center.

Performance Focused: Built with Ultra-Low CPU usage, the addon only processes data when your own buffs change, ignoring world and raid noise.

Zero Stuttering: Optimized animation handling ensures that glow effects are completely stopped and disabled when not visible, saving GPU and CPU cycles.

Static Layout Engine: All UI elements (fonts, positions, and anchors) are cached and only updated when settings change. During combat, the addon only updates the text string, avoiding expensive "re-layout" operations that cause micro-stuttering.

Smart Texture Caching: Uses a cached texture system to prevent redundant calls to the WoW spell database. The addon only requests a new icon if the spell ID itself is modified in the settings.

✨ Glow Effect:

Contour Glow: An electric-blue contour ✨ surrounds the icon, providing a subtle yet powerful visual edge. This glow enhances visibility and makes the Maelstrom icon stand out even more, giving a crisp, polished, and lively look without being distracting.

Electrifying Color Alert: Upon reaching 10 stacks, the icon triggers a high-intensity electrifying color effect, giving you a clear visual signal that you've reached maximum Maelstrom potential.

These enhancements make it easier to track your Maelstrom stacks at a glance, improving visibility and gameplay responsiveness.
