Quest Timer -> Stopwatch Frame

Quests2Watch

Short description: Quest Timer to Stopwatch Frame!

With 2.4 Blizzard added the new time managing options, but I for myself never needed some kind of stopwatch in WoW. On the other side it has a nice simple clock design - while the quest timer frame is a more blocky thing. So why not move the countdown for timed quests into the stopwatch?
And so Quests2Watch was born.

This simple addon without any configuration does exactly this when there is one timed quest active. If you're running more than one timed quest (which is rather unlikely

), the original Quest Timer Frame is displayed. This addon provides also two uhmm..special features (!):
- move over the stopwatch to get a tooltip of the timed quest
- Play/pause/reset buttons are disabled while running a timed quest (To prevent comments like "I've clicked on pause, but my quest still expired"

)

And please don't use /sw or any similar stopwatch-command when you're running a timed quest - of course this would prevent the addon from working correctly. If you notice that the time displayed differs from the time in your questlog, click on a zone header on the questlog - this should update the time. (This happens mostly when you're running a timed quest and are relogging)

If you have bugs, feature suggestions or want to drop a comment, feel free to do so.

Yes, it shows and hides automatically on timed quest start/end. (I have my stopwatch also hidden most of the time)
