I have the same issue as well... It is hard to disable addons as it happens in a raid usually...

I know some action bar mods such as dominos have an 'encounter' module or additional handler for the PowerBarAlt frame.

Just gotta go through your addons and find out which it is.

Edit: I think the issue is mainly with sharedmedia fonts. I tried with a font that was included with another addon and it worked fine.

A lot of the time when fonts aren't sticking it's due to an addon that holds a font simply not being available.

Thanks for following up!

You may have another addon handling the blizzard power bar. Try seeing if the issue persists with no addons enabled other than spb.

Any chance I could see a screenshot?

I can't get one at the moment, but i do have a ton of addons lol. I checked all the main ones like bartender, grid, dbm, etc and couldn't find anything for that bar. I also use hideblizzard and there isn't even an option for that bar. It has to be a secondary setting of some small addon. That could take a while haha.

Edit: after reading some stuff apparently spartanui handles that bar. I'll browse the settings tomorrow and see how that goes.

This addon is not intended to show your current power level. It is used for displaying the UnitPowerBarAlt information. This is blizzards informational display used for various boss encounters such as the Stone Guards within MV or the game timers you see while enjoying the darkmoon fair.

Oh ok, absolutely my fail... I thought that it also works with the own powerbar.

It seems you are correct. I assume the color came out white? Instead of going by name and directly looking for an unlocalized name, I'll do a check for texture:

Lua Code:

local path = "Interface\\UNITPOWERBARALT\\"
local blizzColors = {
    [path.."StoneGuardAmethyst_Horizontal_Fill"] = {
        r = 0.50,
        g = 0.45,
        b = 0.75,
    },
    [path.."StoneGuardCobalt_Horizontal_Fill"] = {
        r = 0.35,
        g = 0.66,
        b = 0.78,
    },
    [path.."StoneGuardJade_Horizontal_Fill"] = {
        r = 0.48,
        g = 0.75,
        b = 0.47,
    },
    [path.."StoneGuardJasper_Horizontal_Fill"] = {
        r = 0.72,
        g = 0.48,
        b = 0.48,
    }
}

Also, to make it easy on users, I'll be keeping it 'blizzard' coloring and not have to worry about particular bosses and custom coloring.

Yeah it was white, I had to go back to using my modifed mod instead. Glad I tested your new version in LFR first before doing heroic
