Cast/Status Bar Tweaks

Thanks for your work on this great UI. There are a few requests I have for cast bars and/or frames in descending order of importance to me.

  1. A toggle for the glossy cast/status bar texture! I've turned gloss off for unit frames but my cast bar is right above my player frame, so it's mismatched. Currently, I just delete the contents of the statusbar-glass.tga texture after every update. Not the hardest thing to do, but annoying if I forget and a bad user experience.
  2. A way to change the background color of cast/status bars and, if possible, frames. I could've sworn this was a thing, but I can't find it in the options. Ideally, this would support transparency as that's the main thing I'm looking for.
  3. An option to differentiate between uninterruptible player spells and enemy spells. Currently, the color applies to both types which could be handy in something like PvP, but I never need to know when one of my spells is uninterruptible in PvE. I'd rather have all casts be the same color according to their type. For other targets' cast bars, using the uninterruptible color is absolutely necessary.

I understand some of these features may replicate functionality of other addons (especially player frame addons), but the first one would create consistency within LS UI itself in regards to whether there's gloss or not. Besides, I love LS UI and I don't want to use those other addons!

Truth be told, I need to rework the whole castbar element. I want all of my castbars and individual status bars to look like Blizz castbar or breath and fatigue bars. Although fancy animated textures aren't really an option because I have to support resizing and whatnot. I've been wanting to do that since the DF release, however, I simply had no time to do that. I mean I still have no proper support for Evokers, it's really bad...

The past few years have been a complete mess for me. I'm also dealing with cancer atm, had 2 surgeries in February, and I started chemo earlier this week. Hence my super late replies and general inactivity when it comes to addon development.

And thanks for you interest in the addon.
