AlphaBuff is the ultimate replacement for your default buff and song windows.
- Sort buffs by slot number, type, or name. Pin your favorites to the top and reorder them however you like.
- Missing favorites will be grayed out so you know what's missing.

Color coding:
Blue
: Regular buffs
Turqoise: Short duration buffs (<20min)
Gray: Permanent buffs (>10h)
Red: Detrimental buffs

Duration:
Blue buffs stay at 100% until they reach 20 minutes left to give you a standard frame of reference. Halfway down means 10 min left.
Red and turquoise buffs start shrinking right away.

Settings:
You can show/hide the title bar for each window, lock the window, and adjust the transparency.
Toggle windows using /ab buff and /ab song


Enjoy!


Notes:
1. Because of the way the client provides data, I recommend that you keep the default EQ buff and song windows open. You can drag them to the very edge of the screen, so they're not visible. If you close them, AlphaBuff will still work, but the data updates will be less frequent, causing the duration bars to be less fluid.
2. The slot numbers in AlphaBuff will not always match those in the default EQ buff and song windows. This is merely due to how the client arbitrarily assigns slot numbers to buffs it gets from the server and has no practical implications.

Excellent work thank you!
Works for EMU! Rejoice!
The name is fitting. This is shaping up to be the set of buff windows to dominate the rest. They are super clean looking and highly legible. I'm looking forward to toggling off my native ui buff windows forever.
Great Lua - Highly recommend
I didnt know how much i needed it, until i got it. Excellent.
This is a great treatment of the buff and song windows. I love the color-coded duration indicators and the sortability. No more having to mess with various UI treatments; this is clear, readable, and very useful. Looking forward to future releases!
I recently had a stroke, nothing I tried regarding the regular UI really worked for me regarding buffs until this came along. SUPER HAPPY! Best script all year.
