Hello!

Overview

First off thank you for your work on this addon, I've found it great to use. I brought up the possibility of a tick bar implementation for custom charge based spells in the Discord the other day and put together this very rough proof of concept. Please keep this in mind when reviewing the code in its current state..

What I'm hoping to gather at this point is the interest level of the maintainer(s) before spending more time to clean this up for production PR with additional features.

Feature Goals

  • Enable users to specify 1-3 custom spells which can have their charges tracked as a "tick bar" on the UI
    • Currently I hard coded support for only 1 and am open to feedback on the quantity of spells users can add
  • Updating of tick bar state as charges are regained/lost
  • Progressive tick recharge filling
    • Think a "progress bar" of sorts while a spell is recharging. This would visually look similar to Evoker Essence recharge. This currently isn't supported in the POC but would be included in the revised PR.
  • Configuration of tick bars supported in the existing settings GUI
    • Enable color by class and constant colors for foreground/background
    • Enable anchor assignment and matching width of anchor or constant x/y coordinate placement with constant width/height
    • Enable numerical text value displaying current charge count on bar

POC

I've included an image and .mkv (video file) of the POC to illustrate.

If there interest in moving this forward I'm happy to continue sprucing this up and addressing any feedback or guidance you have on the feature/code changes.

Thanks!

This supports subsequent commits where additional tick bars are
supported by BCM. This makes these helper fuctions re-usable outside of
solely SecondaryPowerBar tick bars.
This introduces a POC for creating a tickbar for charge based spells.
This is helpful for users who wish to visualize these spells in a
smaller formfactor than icons (which is already supported in custom and
additional custom).
Very rough POC of supporting configuring the tick bar in the settings
GUI. Most of this code is adapted from existing functions and needs to
be improved.
This introduces functionality to re-init the custom tickbar for relevant
events e.g. specialization change, settings changes.
