Buff timers in minute and seconds (see SeriousBuffTimers)

Hello,
Again, enjoy and appreciate all the hard work!

There is a (now abondon) buff timer mod, called SeriousBuffTimers, as the description says "Because Blizzard's %m/%h format is... sarcastic?"

It keeps seconds left on timers up at all times. The 30 second difference between 45 and 15 seconds left on a timer makes a difference, yet all the timer shows is 1m left. Not as helpful as it could be.

Can this functionality be added as an option? At the very least, could the entire last minute be show in seconds?


Cheers!

Would you accept something more like decimal minutes until the last minute when it converts to decimal seconds?

Part of the reasoning there is space... 1m 30s takes a lot of space while 1.5m is space friendly.

I should qualify and mention that I am using the Aura Buttons modification, so that makes a difference.

But of course, any additional information would be helpful!

Can the last minute be in regular seconds? The last minute is the most critical anyhow. If I had to chose between having seconds all the time in decimals v have the last minute in regular seconds, I would chose the latter, and I'm thinking it would be more space friendly.

Cheers!

I'm thinking I can do X.Xm down to the last minute and then X.Xs to zero.

So you would have 1.4m, 1.3m, 1.2m, 1.1m, 60.0s, 59.9s, etc. down to 1.0s, 0.9s, ... 0.2s, 0.1s
