When a tracked spell or item's cooldown finishes (transitions from on-cooldown to ready), the addon triggers a proc glow on its action bar button for a configurable number of seconds before fading out.
Spells with Charges: Only glow when maximum charges are reached. This is a known limitation of the WoW 12.0 API, as current charge counts are restricted ("secret") values in combat.
Copy CooldownGlows/ into your Interface/AddOns/ folder, or install via CurseForge.
No external dependencies required. The addon includes its own self-contained glow system.
Compatibility: WoW 12.0+ (Midnight)
