What does the "Counter" option do?
Encounters->Lich King -> Defile Cooldown -> next to "Flash Screen" is the option to enable "Counter" and no matter what i pick, enable or disable, the test seems to be the same.

AFAIK, it counts the number of times said bar has appeared during the encounter. So for example, you could count the number of times Defile on You occurred. I believe it just puts the count at the end of the message (both on the bar and the warning). I haven't used the feature myself, so I could have it wrong.

Using version 490. On trail of the grand crusader. The timer for crash was off. Sometimes it's correct like last week. But this time when the timer ran down to 0 he didn't start his crash.
This would be massive crash cooldown.

The text width option is nice. Now just need an timer format text option the current one 0:00 00 takes up a lot of space. For me all I need is a M:HH M.HH. M = min, HH = hundreths of a second.

For now if you can tell me where the string format is done I can edit my self. 500 is really looking nice. Liking it a lot.

On line 40 in DXE/Widgets/Timer.lua you can change it to

self.left:SetFormattedText("%d",min)

that will affect the pane timer too. If you don't want it to affect the pane you could instead insert this after line 733 in DXE/Alerts/Alerts.lua

timer.left.SetFormattedText = function(self,text,min,sec)
    self:SetText(min.."")
end

using that code after line 733 cause the bar timers to mess up. But for now it's a quick fix for the timer.

An idea to make timer text take less space though is when the time is greater
than 60 sec just show DDm then when it drops below 1min you show DDs this way you use the same space for sec/min. Not sure but I think that's how DBM does it I forget. Its easy for the player to figure out if he's looking at min or sec by how fast the number changes.

Ok after a week of using this modifed timer I'm suggesting it could be added
as an option. It's pretty simple. Examples
3min 28 sec is shown as "3 28" the 28 is in smaller text.
23sec 10hundreths. 23 10.

So if the time is greater than 60sec then "min sec" is shown. If the time is less than 60sec then "sec hun" is shown. I found this works really well and its very easy to tell if you're looking at min or secs just by see'ing if the timer is counting down in secs or not moving. Takes much less space.

Here is the code:

function prototype:SetTime(time)
if time < 0 then time = 0 end
local dec = (time - floor(time)) * 100
local min = floor(time/60)
local sec = time % 60

if min > 0 then
self.left:SetFormattedText("%d", min)
self.right:SetFormattedText("%02d",sec)
else
self.left:SetFormattedText("%d", sec)
self.right:SetFormattedText("%02d",dec)
end
end

Thanks, I'll add this in when I have time.

Getting the following error when I want to choose a different bar texture:

This was caused by an unstable version of AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets that overwrote the stable one DXE is packaged with. You'll need to update your addons so the library is stable. I tested the packaged DXE by itself and I'm not getting the error.

Is it possible to switch dxe profile by slash command? Instead of /dxe config -> Profiles ->....

Was wondering if you're still planning to add the timer text options that done in this code I gave a while back?

function prototype:SetTime(time)
    if time < 0 then time = 0 end
    local dec = (time - floor(time)) * 100
    local min = floor(time/60)
    local sec = time % 60
        if min > 0 then
          self.left:SetFormattedText("%d", min)
          self.right:SetFormattedText("%02d",sec)
        else
          self.left:SetFormattedText("%d", sec)
          self.right:SetFormattedText("%02d",dec)
        end
end

Does DXE work with 4.0?
