The largest issue seems to be navigation. Navigation seems to be most of the design. Breadcrumbs at the top, strange tab-like things on the left and often an accordion UI in the current window. I see what you're trying to do, but I wonder if it could be done with less navigation elements. I'll have to think about it.
One feature I would like is a preview of the sounds when you add sounds to the aura.

Navigation is the biggest issue by a country mile. In fact, it spans galaxies. That's how big it is. The problem is I
really, really, really hate scrollframes in WoW. They're a god damn nightmare and there's lovely bugs with them too - so I'm trying to avoid scrolling. I could keep the sidebar and breadcrumbs and drop the rest, but then there's the issue of either needing more pages (a bad idea), or needing scrollframes (a bad idea).
It's an area that needs improvement, but I've tried countless solutions and still not come up with something concrete that fixes everything.

Good night.

I'll take a look.

This makes it obvious to the user that the header can be clicked on to expand that section.

I'll try and get it done now-ish.

I looked at the Custom Duration/Delay page, but I don't understand what anything on that page means.

There's a Support Trigger named 'Timer', set it up so that it tracks the Time Remaining at < 5.
I'm also going to make some navigational changes to that particular section, since clicking through the support triggers one by one completely sucks.

No, I'm just a dumbass and never included it in the UI. Fixed in the next release.

Here is a link to my save file, go to morchok one add add timer, then try to attach the timer to the morchok texture display, it shouldn't work.
I'm in a jam since I can't add more auras. Also the aura editor that picks a parent display looks like its bugging out as well. Scroll up and down the display boxes shift around.
Edit: I downloaded rc3 version. Bug still persists though.

That sounds awesomely bad. I'll take a look, thanks for the report.
