The duration of the CC ability is displayed as a cooldown timer on top of your character.

Shows how the mod works with a CooldownCount-type mod installed (in this case, OmniCC).

LoseControl only displays the icon of the CC debuff with the longest duration remaining.

LoseControl in demo mode showing party, target, and focus icons.

LoseControl Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

LoseControl makes it easy to see the duration of crowd control spells by displaying them in a dedicated icon onscreen.

Features:
* Displays duration of all CC spells and abilities. Also supports silence, disarm, root, snare, and immunity effects, and a few PvE debuffs as well.
* Can display icons for player, party, focus, target, and arena enemy frames.
* Icons can be moved, resized, and made transparent.
* Compatible with CooldownCount/OmniCC

You can see a quick demonstration video here.
Note that the LoseControl icon is in the middle of the screen. The rogue does a Sap->Cheap Shot->Kidney Shot combo, and then I trinket.

New in 3.32:
Fixed bug on startup when updating settings from older version.
Fixed possible bug with tracking options on non-English clients.
Immunity tracking no longer tracks self.

Known issues:
Psychic Horror disarm effect is disabled to prevent conflict with the horrify effect.
Perl and XPerl support doesn't work with 3D portraits (strata issues?).
Unlocking frames does not show arena enemy frames if they are anchored to Blizzard frames (because they don't exist unless you're in an arena).

To Do:
Optional priority for different types of CC.
Options profiles.
Button skinning.
Improve OmniCC support to work with all strata levels.

Fixed bug on startup when updating settings from older version.
Fixed possible bug with tracking options on non-English clients.
Immunity tracking no longer tracks self.

3.31:
Fixed bug on startup when settings file doesn't exist.

Updated for patch 3.3 compatibility.
Graceful upgrade from 3.22 (settings won't reset).
Removed Improved Fire Nova Totem spell ID.
Changed Target and Focus portrait frame references to match Blizzard's.
Added immunity effect tracking (Bladestorm, Divine Shield, Ice Block, The Beast Within).
Removed strata options (too buggy atm).
Fixed frames not hiding at start.
Added basic command line options:
/lc reset
/lc lock
/lc unlock
/lc enable <unit>
/lc disable <unit>
where <unit> can be: player, target, focus, party1 ... party4, arena1 ... arena5

it's not a huge deal, but having 12 or so icons appear every time i press unlock (all i use it for is player) is a but unnerving!

Yeah that makes sense and is easy to do.

second, can you revert the immunity change? i find it quite useful to keep track of my bladestorm / mind control duration

I'll have to make it an option. For now, you can edit line 413 of LoseControl.lua and remove

Code:

and unitId ~= "player"

Entering them via an ID would be just great.

There is already a category of debuffs for PvE. If you want to add one, you can look up the spell ID on www.wowhead.com by searching for the spell name, then open up LoseControl.lua and add it to the spell list. I'm not really a big raider, so I don't know which abilities would be useful to add. It's nice when other people make suggestions (I will add Ferocious Butt in the next version).

Oh, and on a side note to other posters, if you want to make a feature request, or perhaps even just be understood, please do try to use proper English. Using doodspeek and textese is a sure fire way to get yourself put on /ignore. As a software developer myself, I can say with absolute certainty that if a person cannot find the time to make themselves understandable, I will not take the time to decipher whatever message they're trying to convey. [/rant]

I couldn't agree with you more, although try to be considerate when English is not someone's primary language.

What unit frames are you using?
When you go into the options menu and do "Unlock Frames", do you see the icons? If not, you probably don't have the mod installed right.

Also when i got the addon enabled , when i try to cast a spell my whole interface lags for 2 secs.

Anyone else having problems with this addon?

i am, exactly the same problem, but it did work first time i used the addon, then after logging out / back in, it stopped working, unable to change any settings and pretty much every feature of the addon made unavailable. aswell as you, my interface would lagwhen trying to change a setting / casting a spell.

Should you want to test this out somehow I can say that it requires a level 20+ fire mage.

Edit: It's working now after deleting its saved variables.

While I'm here I'd like to request a feature: More frames for the player unit. So I can have one for CC, another for just snare/root, and perhaps a third for silence/disarm.

Thanks for your report. I realized what was causing this (immunity tracking) and it has nothing to do with your saved variables. I'll release an update soon to fix this (and hopefully some of the other problems people are having).
The other thing this made me think about is whether or not immunities should be tracked on the player frame. I'll leave it for now, but I'd like to hear what other people think about it.
As for your request, that's starting to make the mod way more complicated than I originally wanted it to be, although I wouldn't say it's totally off the table.
