I've run into a pretty strange issue with Quartz. The mod refuses to load with my primary account. The mod is enabled in the add-on menu, all dependencies are up to date. I've even gone so far as to delete all Quartz related files and reinstall the add-on fresh but still nothing.
When I log into my other accounts, Quartz works just fine.
By "primary account" do you mean all characters on all servers on the account, or just your main character?
If the former, try deleting the Quartz saved variables again, then renaming "WTF\Account\<AccountName>" to something else for backup purposes, and then logging in and letting WoW create a fresh account settings folder.

You said you deleted all the quartz related files.... does that include the saved variables for quarts? If not, kill em and try with a clean slate.
If you did already... I got nothing.... besides disabling all other mods except quartz and see if it loads on that character.

It refuses to load for all characters on every server on 1 account. Ill give that a shot though, thx.
If that does work, you can then copy over per-character settings for non-Quartz things from the backup.
If it doesn't work... did Quartz ever work on that account? Does "/quartz" bring up the options, or just give you a "Type /help..." message? If you get options, have you tried toggling Enable off and back on? Are there any error messages (turn on Lua Errors in Interface Options, or use an error catcher like BugSack)?
Due to the current setup of my interface (one that's almost perfect to my tastes, I'll add) there's really no place for target buffs/debuffs to go other than above the Quartz bar, not to mention it's a handy place to put them in general. Now, what I was hoping for was a way to place mob buffs/debuffs on different sides of the castbar so one can track both seperately.
First, I wanted to say that this is an awesome mod. My fellow Penny Arcade Alliance members turned me onto it, and I don't think I can ever go back to the Blizzard default. This is just too awesome.
There's only one thing nagging at me. The swing bar seems kind of selective as to when it works and when it doesn't. The frontpage of the mod says it works for "melee weapons" and a hunter's autoshot, which doesn't sound like much. I personally play a druid and a hunter, and the swing bar would be useful for at least bear form, so I can manage my mauls a tad better (in theory).
So is there any way to get the swing timers applied to all swings, shots, and the like? (I'd say wand, but I haven't played my warlock in a while and I can't say whether it is already there or not.) Or is there an add-on that Quartz can plug into, that would accomplish similar effects?
Edit: I'm reading through the thread as a whole, now, and I'm up to page 8. I see now why dual wielding isn't implemented, so that's not a big deal. However, that doesn't explain why my druid's Windfury Greatstaff didn't get a swing timer (the ultimate in frivolous, I know), and I would still like the shapeshifting attack bars if possible. My suspicion is that Blizzard handles druid cat/bear attacks differently than normal attacks. This is supported by the inability to be disarmed, the set casting times (although haste effects do affect shapeshift swings), and the set feral skill. I can understand why it would be hard to implement.
Could you add Quartz_Player to the dependencies of Quartz_Mirror?
This would fix the setscale error on startup.
Kinda annyoing to fix it after every update.
Interface\AddOns\Quartz_Mirror\Mirror.lua:445:Usage:<unnamed>:SetScale(scale)
is the error after every login.
It goes away if i add Quartz_Player as dependencies to Quartz_Mirror.toc.
Error only seems to happen when you split the addon into modules.
I should add to this. I'm not as concerned about the offhand timing as I am the main hand. But the main hand doesn't show up when I'm dual wielding, only when I have a shield in off hand. Having the off hand timer would be nice too, though, I have to admit.
I was wondering if it was possible to have the original blizzard castbar border art shown around Quartz? If so how? :)
Isn't there an option in the borders for "Blizzard Default"?
There is default Quartz and no border.
I'd like to put my vote in for more borders as well, Blizzard Dialog mostly. My eePanels have that border and it would be nice if my castbar could match. Great mod, keep up the good work!
I have a an odd request. I pretty much only use the player and mirror bars and I like to have them set up near one another with the same fonts, texture's etc. Can all of the options that the player bar has as far as appearance be added to the mirror bar as well? For example: I would like to be able to change the offset of the mirrorbar text, which is an option on the player bar.

I too am wondering the same thing. I am trying to create an updated revision of the default Blizzard UI, and it would be awesome to have this rather than have an eePanel with a higher strata covering 1 pixel of the quartz bar (as I would ultimately like to remove eePanels completely).
As a casting module it covers pretty much every aspect i can think of (and being a endgame raider that is alot) I especially love the Litestep skin on it, its the best looking skin i've seen in a long time
The only thing i can see as an improvement on it is, simplifying it.
As it is now its very complex for the newbie, and without a proper guide as to how to set it up or any decent help info as to what all the adjustments do this mod is very bad.
Some suggestions i got in mind arent that hard:
1. drag'n drop bars
2. test bars (so we don't have to cast a spell to move the bars all the times)
3. I see some function where you can move the text individually from the bar (thats a guess from what i read on the config) Adding a button that locks text and bar together
4. another nice feature that might be nice to have is a frame that can go around the entire bar setup (i saw something about frames there, but guessed that was for each individual bar)
5. I'd recommend taking a look at how the save/load function to wardrobe2 is made, make a profile setting that is something like that rather than the one existing (which refers to class spesific etc but rather confusing despite how many mods are using it)
6. A tutorial (with images!) might be handy if you decide that changing some of these are to hard.:)
Now, dont take it the wrong way just cause im pointing at these things though. I do love the mod, but i just don't understand it. This i think will improve it greatly in usability and thus on the amount of people who will want to use it :)

1. Unlock the bar and you get a dummy bar which you can drag anywhere on your screen
2. see #1 ;)
3. I think that was just about latency or something - if you want the numbers in the bar or just outside of it...
4. Do you mean like a background behind the castbar, buff bars, etc? Just use an eePanel, imo. I have my bars all split up over the screen and don't even use the target/focus buff bars
5. The profile system in Quartz is the standard Ace2 profile system.

If you use SupplyAndDemand, get rid of it. AddonLoader is a good alternative, if you need a LoD manager.
That did it. Awesome, thank you!
I've never noticed this before,is this an ACE mod and where can I find it...and 'why' does it do that?
