Hi! At first, thank you for the best addon for healers. However, I have some problems and requests:
1. Somehow I don't see "wild grow" in buff list. Next, in 3.3.3 there was "my hots" in buff list - "my rejuv" for example. Now I can't see it.
2. Is it possible to add "Efflorescence" buff? Would be great.
3. I wish you updated GridIndicatorIconBar. The best thing for resto druid ever. Or, at least, in GridIndicatorSideIcons and GridIndicatorCornerIcons please make it possible to show not icons of my hots, but just colored squares. So that color means time left. I understand, that I have an opportunity to see time in seconds, but for me, color is more... visual. In 3.3.3 I used someting like this: http://s005.radikal.ru/i212/1010/8b/84e790517d25.jpg
4. GridStatusRole. Will it be updated? Now it is not work properly.
So happy to see Grid back up and running for 4.0.1! :)
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the way the duration displays on the centre icon? It's a bit hard to explain, but on my unit frame, the icon displays bright, then goes darker around the clock. On grid, it starts dark and then goes lighter around the clock.
I use the gridindicatorcornericon plug-in, which uses the same icon functionality (presumably), and I find it more intuitive that a HoT is about to run out if it starts going darker rather than lighter.

You can add your own buffs under Status|Auras. The "my rejuv" sounds like a plugin - GridStatusHots by any chance?
4. GridStatusRole. Will it be updated? Now it is not work properly.
Yes. It's ready to go. I'm just waiting on addition testing for the libraries it depends upon before I tag it.
Note that currently there's a Blizzard bug that causes inspecting other players stop working occasionally, which seriously affects the utility of this plugin.
Hm... I did definitely not use that module and had numerical cd indication on the central icon. If that was not grid what else could do that? May be GridStatusRaidDebuff?
I've updated my plugin, but now the config otions are very messy, they are not ordered well... how can I influence how the options of a status are shown?
See the "order" parameter on the AceConfig-3.0 Options Tables documentation page. It's pretty much exactly the way it worked in Ace2. If you need help figuring it out, post in the Ace3 subforum, as the options table format is not specific to Grid.
Ace2 provided a "standby" command; Ace3 does not. The recommended ways to hide/disable Grid are to either set the layout for your current group type to "None", or to log out and disable it at the addon screen. Could you give me an example of a situation where you'd want to hide Grid, where you wouldn't want to use one of those options?
You can also just do stuff with "GridLayoutFrame" directly, instead of doing module lookups.
I just want to chime in and say that I agree with the other poster about missing standby. I have been looking for it here and there, getting frustrated, and finally i came here to make a post. I disable grid for my dps toons, but on my tanks and healers I like to disable it when I am not using it. I don't like the disable reloadui approach (or the logout and disable approach) for these characters because of the added time and inconvenience of logging off and on.

I also think that we need to be able to hide the Grid UF when but I don't think we need standby. Just need to have a :Hide() / : Show() function binded to the data broker icon. And if the frames used are all child of whatever is hidden, the events stop when hidden so added benefits of limiting the overhead.
Meanwhile, the macro that was posted in the forum do the job quite nicely for me.
first really thanks to the all the author, maintainer and manager.
Now my question: is possible to set all the frame unit of the same color (black for exemple) while having the class color name of the unit?
When i change the class color also the names color change. Any idea?
on my tanks and healers I like to disable it when I am not using it.
Could you give an actual example of a specific situation where you'd want to temporarily disable Grid? If you're not using it, you're probably not in a group, so simply setting the Solo Layout to "None" should solve the issue. I can't think of any situation where you'd be in a group but not want to see group frames, so unless you or any of the other people griping about the loss of "standby" can give me a concrete example of such a situation, there's little I can do to help you.
Phanx and the rest of the contributors to Grid, thank you all so very much for your work.
I was wondering if it would be possible in the future to add a feature that allowed us to sort the groups by health? I think this would be a very handy feature going into Cataclysm. Thank you.

It's likely that the author or a fan of that plugin will update it.
Again, this sounds like GridStatusHots.
Yes. It's ready to go. I'm just waiting on addition testing for the libraries it depends upon before I tag it.
Note that currently there's a Blizzard bug that causes inspecting other players stop working occasionally, which seriously affects the utility of this plugin.
That sounds like GridCooldownText. It has not yet been updated.

My 0.02$
I have set it to "by Class 25" in the Gui and by using command line but still my raids are just mixed up.
At least as far as raid frames go.
Now my question: is possible to set all the frame unit of the same color (black for exemple) while having the class color name of the unit?
When i change the class color also the names color change. Any idea?

Incorrect; events are not "stopped" when a frame is hidden. You're thinking of OnUpdate.
Yes. Uncheck "Use class color" for the Unit Health status, but not for the Unit Name status.
I was wondering if it would be possible in the future to add a feature that allowed us to sort the groups by health? I think this would be a very handy feature going into Cataclysm. Thank you.
Okay, thank you. Vuhdo does this and it is a nice feature.
Not dynamically update based on current HP.
