Castbar casttime text display & empty bar customization & combopoints

[moved from wrong place to post this]

I tried to find an option or a function in the module LUAs that would allow me to calm the castbar as the remaining casttime jitters around too much. It should either align by a left-side indent to make the seconds look more stable or maybe just use only 1 decimal instead of 2. I wonder what would be the most convenient solution here as the castbar is difficult to watch right now. Any thought how to smoothen the time-remaining text?

A different thing is the empty bar. Possibly I misunderstand the feature altogether. I stumbled upon it by trying to include both hp-percent based health bar coloring AND a very visible reaction indicator to identify enemy players easily. I wanted to add an empty bar and color it by reaction, however I only manage to color texttags accordingly, the bar always remains black and I cannot change some of its properties (e.g. alpha, class color) from the menu. Any advice?
My current workaround is to use tags to color all the text in the bars by reaction, which is ok I guess.

As a third thing, I was unable to use the cpoints tag to display combopoints. LUA error:

Thank you for the work. Overall, these unitframes are the best I have ever seen in WoW, and also the most customizable ones. Great stuff.

I second this. I would also personally like to have only one decimal instead of two on the cast time remaining. The second decimal is whirring past my eyes at such a speed that it's not really readable and just makes the whole thing look more confusing. One decimal, on the other hand, is quite followable and thus useful information or, atleast, that's how it is for me.

Perhaps using a font that has constant character size and spacing would make it stand still, even with two decimals? Something like notepad and many programming IDEs use for this exact reason. It makes everything align properly and stand still when changes are made.
