That, and it's a nice way to see that renew, fear ward etc are still up,
when I'm in a party - it's a total pain having to look over to the other
side of the screen to check my renew indicator on Grid when I'm otherwise
looking at the party frames.

Which is why I won't get it, I hate mods that do stuff without any real
input from me. *I* like to do the buffing, not just mindlessly bash a key
and not even know what it's doing for me. It's the same as the old
Decursive which was utterly unintelligent for the player, requiring no
thinking input. Plus I want to *see* the buffs, not just be told when
they're needed - that way I can maybe rebuff *before* it's needed in the
middle of a bossfight (having been able to mouseover the buff and see the
remaining time)

Got that but it doesn't show in parties, only raids, and I want partybuffs
for parties. Plus again, it doesn't display the buffs *on the person* Such
a simple concept yet nobody seems to offer it.

Have to say I didn't really look at it in much detail, once I saw the
buttons were huge I gave up It looked promising though, just didn't
give an option to resize them small enough... however now I think about it
it did already have a resize option, just didn't go far enough, so perhaps
if I poke around in the coding I may be able to edit a file or something to
make it suit - any idea what kind of thing I'd need to be looking for
there? My knowledge of addons writing is about nil
