Draging the icon frame over the menu frame causes some z-index fun.

It took me a while to figure out that the group setting only accepts numbers, only when I looked up that tonumber() is being used it became clear. I see no reason why this can't be string.lower().

For my shadow priest I want a timer for misery and shadow weaving. The only way to do that is having an entry for each shadow spell, all in the same misery or shadow weaving group. Annoying, but a natural cause of trying to keep the mod as powerfull as possible. Still I'm trying to think of an elegant and without hard coding anything way to solve this.

What would certainly make the above problem easier is a copy button for a timer. Now you have to retype the same thing a dozen times.

The attached screenshot is SpellWatch in action. If you look at it, it seems like the bars are overlapping slightly. I didnt trust my eyes, and yes when zooming in they are exactly 15px high each. The illusion comes from three things: the icons have sometimes a border, the bar textures have a smoothing effect and the bar text is not always centered. An easy fix would be some horizontal spacing.
