    Change colour of own buffs and debuffs [Feature Request?]

    Hi,

    Basically an option I would love to have, if not need is to change the colour of the countdown number of buffs/debuffs on targets, in this example I used the DRG dot, but there are many examples and or situations where for me and pretty much everyone I play with have difficulties spotting whether an ability is my own or an allies.

    Oh and I have tried colorblind modes, changing my screen settings and other screens and nothing really helped which is why I am writing this.

    For example, when I am PFing and a raidwide AOE is coming up and I cast reprisal as a tank I am oftentimes not sure if the other tank has overwritten mine and I should use it on another ability or whatever. Same with addle, or debuffs that are shown further to the left.

    What I would love to have is either
    1. A setting where i can change the colour of my own buff or debuffs to a more visible colour (bright orange for example to name a colour)
    2. Have a rework of how buffs/debuffs are shown on players or targets. I honestly don't know what that could be and it would most definitely be the more complex option to implement.

    I know that this is a problem that mostly affects raiders etc. but as a bit of a perfectionist when gaming this has been bugging my for my hundreds of hours I have played.

    Edit:

    Here are some example screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/ezuvaNa

    The debuff with the green text showing the countdown is yours. The debuff with the white text is someone elses.

    Yes, I am aware of that, what I am saying is that that shade of green can be extremely difficult to spot, when mechanics are going off etc.. Because of that I would like the option to change that color from green to red or whatever colour would be more easily visible

    Have you thought about making the Target Info Status bigger? Mine is set to 140%.
