LibOrbitGlow-1.0
This addon does nothing in the game on it's own - it's meant for Developers.
A drop-in library for drawing animated glows on any WoW frame — action buttons, aura icons, cooldowns, nameplates, anything you can point it at.
It comes with six distinct glows built from Blizzard's own UI art, so they look native and most players already recognise them. It can also render Glow Packs like Orbit Pack: Glows — addons that register their own animated glow atlases for the library to play. Developers add this library to their addon to display and customise glows with a single call, and to consume glow atlases — their own or a third party's — for distribution to their users.
The four built-in glows are Classic, Thin, Thick, and Medium. Every glow recolours to any RGBA you pass, is reused from a shared pool, throttles to 60fps, and is safe to drive from WoW 12.0 secret values.
