Dominos_BuffTimes is a modification of Dominos_Buff (found with Dominos) that shows buff/debuff times (for spells that you cast) on action buttons as a cooldown (in addition to coloring the borders of the buttons). When used with OmniCC, this should show the countdown until a buff/debuff expires as a number on the button.
This addon is meant to be used as a replacement of the Dominos_Buff mod. If you have Dominos, ensure that you disable Dominos_Buff when using Dominos_BuffTimes.
While this has only been tested with Dominos and the vanilla buttons, it should work with any action bar mod.
Dominos_BuffTimes supports focus macros. Where a button has a macro on it with a name containing " Focus" (that is "Focus" with a space in front of it, like "Banish Focus") the button will show buff/debuff times for the focus target.
It is also possible to configure the behaviour of certain buffs and debuffs via command-line (using /bufftimes) and interface options (under Interface->Addons->Dominos_BuffTimes). Spells can be configured to not show timers at all (for when seeing the spell cooldown is preferable - border coloring is still used). Default ignored spells are Judgement of Light and Mortal Strike.
By default, buffs will show times regardless of the original caster. Buffs can be configured to only show times if you casted the buff (for HoTs, etc.). Default buffs in this list are Renew.
By default, debuffs will only show times if you casted the debuff. Debuffs can be configured to show times regardless of the original caster (for Banish, etc.). Default debuffs is this list are Banish, Fear.
It is possible to configure self-only buffs. These buffs will show a timer for buffs on you, regardless of who is targetted. It also overrides the actual cooldown, so for short cooldown abilities, you will see a green border and the time left on the button. When the buff expires, the green border will disappear and the normal cooldown will appear. This is configurable and there are defaults provided.
Latest changes
The latest version fixes a serious performance issue that caused a slowdown that got progressively worse the longer you played (in a single session). The fix for this issue disables the triggering for the OmniCC flash animation. If this is a problem, please let me know in the comments section. If there is enough demand for it I will look at re-implementing it, but I personally didn't see much issue with it.
It also (finally) adds support for vehicle spells - ie the dragon spells for Malygos.
As usual, please report any bugs, either in the comments section or by raising a ticket in CurseForge.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
