Casting bar showing pet inductions?

I did an admittedly quick search for this and didn't find any topics dealing with it...

nUI shows a thin induction bar for my Warlock's imp, which overlays my own casting bar. Since the imp spams his Firebolt, it is basically always active, and not very useful.

I'm pretty low level, so I'm not sure whether there are situations where you would want to see a pet's induction bar, but if it is supposed to be there, it would be nice to be able to disable it.

You are correct that there's no way to disable it and I confess that most of the time I ignore it. However, when you get into higher levels with vehicles and mounts that cast, you'll need to know they're casting.

That said, I'll keep in mind an option to disable it in nUI6.

Not a big deal, obviously.

Maybe just moving the pet cast to somewhere that doesn't overlap the player one (to the left of the pet name?) would be a good solution to avoid adding more switches.

It shouldn't actually be overlapping, it should be immediately below the player bar. In any event, if you want to move it, you can. You just need to edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > HUDLayouts > {hud mode} > nUI_HUDSkin_{hud mode}_Pet.lua ] where {hud mode} is one of PlayerTarget, HealthPower, etc. depending on which HUD you use. Locate the casting section copied below...

Code:
["Casting"] = { anchor = { anchor_pt = "BOTTOM", relative_to = nUI_HUDLAYOUT_PLAYERTARGET.."Bottom", relative_pt = "TOP", xOfs = 0, yOfs = 122, },
Changing the values of the xOfs and yOfs elements will move that bar left and right or up and down accordingly.

You can do this in any plain text editor like notepad... make you changes and save the file, then do '/nui rl' and see if the results are what you want.
