I currently use a version of this to show Mark (M) and Thorns (T) on my raid frames, colored Green if they have it, Red if they don't. I did the same for my player frame (and cleared out everything but the 'empty space' bar) to show the first letter of all of the buffs I consider necessary in a raid, I.E.
[HasAura(Well Fed)?Text(F):Green!Text(F):Red] (Food)
[[HasAura(Adept's Elixir):HasAura(Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer)]?Text(B):Green!Text(B)Red] (Battle Elixir)
[[HasAura(Elixir of Draenic Wisdom):HasAura(Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer)]?Text(G):Green!Text(G)Red] (Guardian Elixir)
etc. with:
M (Mark/Gift)
T (Thorns)
F (Fort)
S (Spirit)
I (Int/Brilliance)
W (Wisdom)
S (Salv)
K (Kings)
Made it really easy to see if I personally was fully buffed before a boss (though no qualifications about time left on the buffs), and had the added advantage of keeping my buff bars down to only procs and similar short-term effects that I cared about, as I used EBB to filter anything I had marked out.
As a side note, would it be possible to get a similar effect, that of a bordered semi-transparent panel with text markings corresponding to my buffs, out of a simple EEpanels script? On my current UI I use the player UF in a different way, but would love to get this functionality back, even if it's not clickable.
