Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:
*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors. *Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar. *Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars using the new API introduced in patch 2.1. *Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar. *Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again. *Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it). *Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings. *Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars. *Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast. *Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot. *Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars. *Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.
Use /quartz to bring up the configuration menu.
Optional Files - Quartz - Modular Casting Bar
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
i'm trying to filters the debuff shown on my target (for example i don't want to see the duration of the debuff of mind flay or misery) but for now it seems i failed
Originally posted by SilverShadow After you type in the spell, hit return/enter
Yes, it doesn't seem like much, but it doesn't save the field if you don't do that. This isn't a quartz only particularity, it's an ACE thing I think. So, click the field, type Find Minerals then hit return before clicking the next field.
It took me several tries myself before I figured this out. I think I had the same problem with Pitbull which is why i thought of this solution.
What I would like is for the "Focus" feature to not break. I don't know why, but even if I turn off the focus module, if I set focus I get an error and Quartz completely breaks.
EDIT: here is the error I get BTW.
Code:

Even though the above error says "fishingbuddyfu" it's also saying groupfu, macaroonfu.
Originally posted by Foxbull So I do /quartz and go to Global Cooldown. I type in primery spell: Find Minerals, and on backup spell: Devastate. Both abilities only have global cooldown. However when I quit the menu, and open it again, both camps are blank again. It's not saving the spells I introduce there.
Can anyone shed a light on this please?

Warning: You have no spell chosen for Quartz's Global Cooldown module. Please enter a spell name in the menu (/quartz, then click Global Cooldown). Note, it is recommended to use a spell that cannot have a cooldown other than the global cooldown and cannot be interrupted, such as Find Herbs
So I do /quartz and go to Global Cooldown. I type in primery spell: Find Minerals, and on backup spell: Devastate. Both abilities only have global cooldown. However when I quit the menu, and open it again, both camps are blank again. It's not saving the spells I introduce there.
is there any option to set strata of castbars?
i was using bongos2 and my casting bar was ON one of action bars, now when bongos died and i've switched to dominos castbar apears under action bar, that pretty much destroyed my UI design <_<
I'm wondering that why the cast bar stop working everytime when I enter the game, and I have to open the quartz config frame, and edit the "cast bar", then it begin to working.
How to fix this bug?
I'm a warrior and when I use my battle shout (a warrior's buff with 2 minute duration) it doesn't show anything on Quartz. Is this supposed to be? If yes, is there any addon I can use that shows buff durations, or at least give a warning when they expire?
Just one question.. in the WotLK/3.0 version, Quartz has started to show -all- buffs and debuffs on the target/focus instead of just my own. This clutters up my screen and makes it harder to keep track of my own debuff timers.
Is there someway to filter it so it only shows the buffs/debuffs I'm responsible for?
Since Natur Enemy Cast Bar (NECB) isn't working anymore, I decided to try Quartz, but i miss 2 important features of NECB.
The possibility to track a debuff timer on the focus (i.e. if I polymorph my focus, i need a timer to keep an eye on the polymorphed one's timer, while i'm killing another target). Indeed, Quartz shows me the timer only on the target.
The possibility to track the duration of my Water Elemental.
Are they possible? Are they future plans?
