At the moment, when Moonfire is applied to a target, the aura text correctly shows the DoT duration on the target. But when I switch into Solar Eclipse and the button becomes Sunfire, the aura text disappears. This is not really a bug, because it now displays the aura text for a different debuff, but this behavior is not really intuitive or useful, as the two DoTs overwrite each other and I don't want to replace a strong one (eclipsed Sunfire) with a weak one (uneclipsed Moonfire). So what I would like is that the aura text keeps counting down when the button changes, but maybe with a different color, so that I know it's the other version still ticking. I already hacked this in, but it is probably not the cleanest way: In Macaroon_Buttons.lua I changed the last loop in updateAuraInfo to Code: repeat spell, _, _, count, _, duration, timeLeft, caster = UnitAura(unit, index, "HARMFUL") if (duration and (caster == "player" or caster == "pet")) then unitAuras[unit][spell:lower()] = "debuff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count unitAuras[unit][spell:lower().."()"] = "debuff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count if (spell == "Moonfire") then unitAuras[unit]["sunfire"] = "buff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count unitAuras[unit]["sunfire()"] = "buff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count end if (spell == "Sunfire") then unitAuras[unit]["moonfire"] = "buff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count unitAuras[unit]["moonfire()"] = "buff"..":"..duration..":"..timeLeft..":"..count end end index = index + 1 until (not spell) Now when the button is Moonfire and the Sunfire buff is on the target, it is treated as a debuff and shows in green instead of red because of that. This is exactly what I would like to see as 'proper' option.
