Time is from OmniCC
AlphaButtons
Turns your action bars into a cooldown tracker by switching the alpha of action buttons that are on cooldown.



Configuration
If you open core.lua in a text-editor you will be able to change the alpha and disable fading on the bars of your choosing.
There should be enough information in the file on how to change it.



Supported addons
Bartender4
Dominos
Geist
rActionBarStyler
and any other that reuse the default buttons



Not supported and reasons
Macaroon
Already has the feature to fade out on cooldowns. Just ask the author for the opposite.



Credits

To skhm for coming up with the original idea with his addon CoolerMaster

Bumped toc as no errors were reported.

Macaroon already has an option to lower the Alpha / Transparency whenever an item or spell is on cooldown but not the other way around.
I think would be better to ask the author to put it into their addon instead of me trying to hack away (not even sure where I'd start) the code that does the so-called fading.

Added to 0.4, test it please.

Edit: I'll take the lack of comments that it is working as intended. Not that it is a bad thing.

I seem to have "failed" a bit in 0.2 where I uploaded a version and forgot to rename a function. I'm just uploading a new one as 0.3 but it doesn't have any changes other than correcting my mistake.

Do you have the latest version of Dominos?

Could you upload or send me a mail with your version of Dominos and your config file for it and I'll gladly take a look. You can find your config in
World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\******\SavedVariables\Dominos.lua

I have PMed you my email ashopedies

I seem to be getting one error on log in with dominos:

Quote:
[2009/11/26 13:07:42-3587-x1]: AlphaButtons-0.2\core.lua:32: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
AlphaButtons-0.2\core.lua:84: in function <Interface\AddOns\AlphaButtons\core.lua:72>
Out of curiosity I activated nMainbar together with AlphaButtons, this doesn't get me any errors (which isn't really surprising, considered how close to the default blizzard action bars nMainbar is).

Hmm this seems promising
