What it does
Glowing Bars has no window or bars of its own. The button you should press lights up where you would press it anyway, whether that is a missing Fortitude, a forgotten poison or imbue, or a cooldown that came back mid-fight.
Procs such as Overpower, Revenge, Execute and Hammer of Wrath glow while you can use them. It also points out a spell on your bars at a lower rank than one you know, and warns when group buff reagents or items you added run low.
It works on Bartender4, Dominos and EllesmereUI buttons and tries to detect buttons from other bar addons by itself. Support for Forever's gamepad bars is in alpha.

FAQ
What if my buttons don't glow?
Open /gb settings and press Scan on the Welcome tab. It reports which buttons the addon can see.
Do macros glow?
Yes. They glow for the spell shown with #showtooltip, or for every spell they cast if that line is missing.
