• bordercolor: Color of the backdrop's border, if used.
• gcdColor: Color of the global cooldown line.

EventHorizon.layouts

This table adjusts the size and position of the various indicators shown within a spell's bar. For example, you can use this to change the tick markers to display along the full height of a spell's bar instead of above it.

Bar layout

• tick: Size and position of the tick markers.
• smalldebuff: Size and position of the recast line.
• cantcast: Size and position of the invisible area when a recast line is shown.
