Hiding buff icons when teamed?
Do you use herostats? it gives a pretty good readout of time remaining & will change color as the buff is about to expire. when I am running a buff character, I typically dont watch the timer I just make sure that the list stays green & make sure that none of my teammates drop off the list

AFAIK you can only turn off Auto Power displays. As mentioned, though, Hero Stats is a good way to keep track.
Have a look at the link in my Sig for an Option Menu for doing this. You can hide not only Auto Powers, but Toggles too which is a great help I found.
A quick and dirty Macro version for doing it across the board :
/macro HideAll "optionset buffsettings 1052688"
/macro ShowAll "optionset buffsettings 0"
/macro HideTeam "optionset buffsettings 4864"
I think that should do it, all you should then see are non-auto Buffs with a duration on them. The HideTeam one is the one I usually use as that's the main offending window in terms of Icon Spam.
I haven't found a way to just show buffs you have applied though.

Here's a slightly fuller explanation I have on the buffsetings that I got from some poster on these forums, don't recall who.
Add up all the options you want and use that /optionset command. Code: 1 status window hide auto 2 status window hide toggles 4 status window no blinking 8 status window no stacking 16 status window numeric stacking 32 status hide buff numbers 64 status stop sending buffs 128 -- 256 group window hide auto 512 group window hide toggles? 1024 group window no blinking 2048 group window no stacking 4096 group window numeric stacking 8192 group window hide buff numbers 16384 group window stop sending buffs 32768 -- 65536 pet window hide auto 131072 pet window hide toggles? 262144 pet window no blink 524288 pet window no stacking 1048576 pet window numeric stacking 2097152 pet window hide buff numbers 4194304 pet window stop sending buffs |
Actually what does "Stop Sending buffs" do?
Does it basically disable buffs in the window or do ones you generate yourself still work?
Must check this later on

A couple small additions to help improve performance for dial-up users:
* Added Option to disable combat numbers on power buff icons
* Added Option to disable sending buff information altogether
edit: oh yeah, added the info from Shadow State to the wiki

Hello,

when running for example, my Kin Def, I really want to keep track of my teamates SB status (I am in the camp that likes to use SB to keep my team buffed up). However I am not very good at tracking "time expired since last buff applied x 8"
I know that I can expand the players Buff icons using the side arrow in the Team GUI window.
However I do have trouble when I have 8 great long lines of Buffs stretching across my screen trying to pick out the SB buff. Especially so if I am using my laptop.
Is there anyway I can hide all buff icons except the SB one, or any combinations I may want to see? Ideally I would like to reduce the Buff Lines to one or two icons.
More in hope than expectations! Thanks
