Hello, I am a player who just used your addon. It helped me a lot as I could not use my old bufftime addon due to DF prepatch. There are some good features from the old addon so I would like to introduce it to you. And I really hope you could add them in your bufftimer! I am new to github so spare me for the mistakes I might make below.

The old addon I used was called Icebuff, which worked for years without update until now. It showed the timeless buffs as N/A, and other buffs with detailed times in format of hh:mm:ss.

The colors were also applied. For buffs more than 10mins, they are green, 1min to 10min yellow, less than 1min red.

I have attached the original file of Icebuff and a screenshot of mine to display how it worked. I really hope you could add them as I am just not capable of editing codes.

Here are the codes of Icebuff, as I cannot drag the lua file.

@uthersh Thanks for the suggestions! No promises, but I will see what I can do.

@sandervspl Thanks for the reply! I would look forward to it!

Actually the codes in the third and fourth blocks are those control the colors. I guess they would be helpful.

what would be interesting is:

• cache the duration of the buff on application
• no text if permanent buff (e.g. mounting)
• if above 66%, green
• if above 33% yellow
• if below 33% red

don't really need a N/A text since that clutters unnecessarily and its always going to be green

• an option that toggles this feature altogether since I personally don't look at buffs that often

Added the option for colors in 609baea. It will work like this:

• If the buff duration is more than 10 minutes or longer, it will be green
• If the buff duration is between 1 minute and 10 minutes, it will be yellow
• If the buff duration is shorter than 1 minute, it will be red

Colors are disabled by default. You'll need to enable it in the interface options.

For now there are no plans to add the N/A text.

Sorry it took so long!
