General

Vertical Buff Icons

Toggle vertical growth for Buffs, overriding BCDM's horizontal mode, used for FHT. Pretty much all it does, and all it's supposed to do.

Trinket to CDM

• Adds BCDM TrinketBar to Essentials for NHT (Left or Right), and essentials\utility for FHT (For instance if you have 8 essentials and set limit to 9, 1 trinket will go essentials, if you have 2 the second trinket anchors to utility)
• Blacklist trinkets you don't need to track.

Positioning Tweaks

Minimap & Aura Positions

• Moves Minimap /w Datapanels and Auras top right instead of bottom right & top left.
• Also moves ElvUI Right Chat Panel to bottom right, if the anchoring function below is enabled.

Details! Chat Backdrop

• Anchors Details! to ElvUI Right Chat.
• To make it bigger, make Details! bigger and hit the "Reapply" button.
• To move it, /emove -> Move ElvUI Right Chat and it should follow. If you recently imported the profile you may have to reload first.

Fixes\QoL

• Import Private settings
• Import CVars
  • Sets Sound_NumChannels to 32 and turns of Weather Density.
  • Toggle on "Auto-set" to set NumChannels every login, something keeps resetting it, maybe BW.
    • Supposedly it helps with FPS, not having that many sound channels ready, I guess it depends on your sound settings, the more sound that's on the more channels you need? 🤷
• Set UI Scale
  • Just a button for those that are too lazy or can't find where you have to type in UI Scale after installation when stuff looks weird. It may say 0.53 in /ec -> General but you have to re-enter it and hit ENTER to make sure it's set. Only need to do it once.

Buff Bar Skinning & Anchoring

• Skins buff bars, caches the position.
• Grow up or down, change font, texture, the uzh

BCDM + ElvUI

• Anchor BCDM frames to ElvUI Player\Target UFs
• Frames dynamically adjust as cooldown icons appear/disappear
• Change stuff to your liking
• Dynamic CastBar: Anchor BCDM Castbar to Secondary Power Bar when present, otherwise default to Power Bar. Buff Icons move with it when it's enabled.

"When utility icons gets longer than essential icons, the frames move!?" Yes.

• Utility Threshold = How many extra utility icons trigger movement
• Overflow Offset = Pixels(ish) to move each frame when triggered Example: 6 Essential + 9 Utility = +3 extra, frames move. Figure it out

Special Bars and Icons

Bars

• Move a tracked buff bar to somewhere else on the screen, like go to /CDM -> put say "Shield Block" on a Tracked Bar -> Enable a Special Bar and select it from the dropdown -> do w\e tf you want.
  • Anchor to w\e frame, inherit width may be a lil buggy with some other AddOns that refresh on events like BCDM_CastBar.

Icons

• Same thing as bars, change up the text or border if you want, add glow, anchor it, all the stuffings.

Classbar Mode

• Enable ElvUI Classbar for chosen specs.
• Anchor them dynamically where a Power Bar or Secondary Power Bar would've been, the Castbar will then anchor on top if it automatically, depending on where the bar is and if something is above that one again.

Charge Bars

• Add the spec you want to have a charge bar for, or add them all up to you.
• Select which slot you want the classbar to anchor.
  • For instance: You play Shadow Priest, you use BCDM Power Bar and that's it. Then it will make sense to put the Class Bar in the Secondary Power slot, which will anchor above the Power Bar.
    • But, say you play Frost Mage, but don't care about seing mana as a power bar. You could then set it to Power Slot and just have a higher frame strata to cover it, should have a solid backdrop if you decide to do that. Same goes for Classbar.
• Add spell with the spellID (find in spellbook -> hover -> number in bottom corner)
• Change up the slot if needed, if you added all specs you should look this over
  
  • NB: This will only enabled the bars for your current ElvUI profile, so if you're on NHT and then go FHT their not there so, ye.
