WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.

Features include:

• An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
• Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm spell alerts
• Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras
• Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers
• Preset and user-defined animations
• Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds
• Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time
• CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, and prevention of full aura scanning
• Powerful customization options, such as animation paths, on-show/on-hide code, and custom triggers, for Lua-savvy users

To open the options window, type "/wa" or "/weakauras" into your chat.

Note: WeakAuras works better with more media!

• Get SharedMedia for more bar textures.
• Get SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.
