ert note color change for rotations / timing in rotations

Currently progressing on Remnant, we use a rotation for the cooldowns to be used on Malevolence dispels.

I really like the way cooldowns with timers grey out in the ert note after their timer has ran out.
Rotations do not seem to have that, which makes it hard to know what the upcoming cooldowns are.
I could do this by using many timers by making a different timer for each individual Malevolence but then the note would get massive.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either grey out the previous cooldowns, or make the upcoming cooldowns a different color.
Could also consider adding the timing menu into the rotation entry, something like:

Having timings / offsets can be useful to rotations too.

Thanks for the request.

First of all i do not manipulate the ERT note while in combat. I only push the compiled messages to ERT once. I have no idea if they support "coloring" of rotations or if they support rotations at all like i put them in at the moment. The syntax of "" comes from the buds WeakAura since a lot of ppl seem to use it to display cooldowns. So i do not have any chance of changing the colors in the ert note while in combat.

For the approach with timings for rotations this has a few problems. First you can't have a negative offset for a rotation entry since you don't know when the events actually happens. It could only be a positive offset (delay) which is already present in the rotation configuration. You can't control it currently for cooldowns since the goal was to keep the cooldown action simple. You could work around that by using the advanced settings and change the delay in there.

Thanks for the quick response.

After trying a couple things I ended up just making 8 timers. In the ERT note I deleted the empty rows and titles to get it to show the way I wanted.

I'll just have to delete those lines again any time I generate a new note, but that is not a big deal. An option to not create a title/empty rows, or group up timers could be nice to make my job easier.

Leaving out empty rows by timer is already possible. I currently do not post process the message tho. I could make an option to simply remove all empty lines so you could condense the note a little.
