MyBigClock is exactly what the name implies, a big digital clock display. I need it, because my 22" monitor is nine, or ten, feet away from my eyes. MyBigClock originally started its life in 2008, and was inspired by an AddOn called myClock, by Scheid. The AddOn myClock is no longer available, though the author still maintains a website. All in all, despite the size of the clock itself, and a significant rewrite of the code which eliminated the need for several of the files that made up Scheid's AddOn, MyBigClock has some of the same features that myClock had. Nonetheless, you can move the clock by unlocking the position in the options reached by right clicking the MyBigClock display. You can also set the time offset, such as when you are playing on a server in a different time zone than your own. Unfortunately it does not auto correct for the time zone, so instances often show a different time than your Realm. I use it to be able to see what time it is, and that is all it is good for.

  MythChat also dates back to 2008, though several variations have existed through the years. It was completely rewritten when the 3.3 patch killed the original version. MythChat is a multifaceted chat AddOn that gives audio alerts using sounds from Myth: The Fallen Lords. I use it to enable me to know when my friend messages me though Bnet, but it has recently been expanded to alert me to Guild messages, Party messages, Battleground messages, RAID messages, and even has separate alerts for the Party, Battleground, and RAID leaders as well. There is also an alert set for Blizzard Game Master message exchanges. Excluding the various party variations (eg. Party, Battleground, and RAID), where the same sound set is used, each chat channel has a different alert. The best part is that it uses the same alert every time the message author is me, the user, regardless of the channel. The exception is that the Game Master whisper response is a different sound than on all the other channels. It is still a unique sound when I am the sender, but not the same as on every other chat channel. MythChat was originally inspired by ChatSounds, by Dridzt. However, it has none of the dependencies that ChatSounds has, and has several other features. Other than audio chat alerts, MythChat also displays a time code to each and every message received, and allows the copying of the chat window text. To copy text you have to right click on the chat window tab for Blizzard's World of Warcraft options menu, where you will find a new "Copy Chat Window" option. I haven't bothered to create an option to change the sounds. However, you can substitute your own sounds by replacing the files in the "sfx" folder with your own mp3 files. The names of the sounds have to match the files in the "sfx" folder, and those names are self evident. Keep in mind that it is best to have a very short sound effect, 1 second, or less. Also, they should be mono, but that's your lookout. MythChat does not have alerts for channels such as System Messages, Trade, Local Defense, and the like. The latest version is no longer slaved to the game audio, but to the master computer audio; which was a lost feature at the time of the World of Warcraft Patch 3.3 change just prior to Cataclysm.

  VisiCoords is a more recent addition, because there was a period during which AlphaMap stopped being updated, and I was just too used to having the coordinate feature when playing. VisiCoords is a very basic AddOn that displays world coordinates on the screen next to the minimap, the large World Map, and on the reduced World Map. Like MyBigClock, the constantly displayed coordinate window can be moved by right clicking it and unlocking its position. VisiCoords was inspired by MapCoords, by urmelus & Jim-Bim. Despite the simple requirements of the AddOn, I wanted a bit more than MapCoords offered. Regardless, VisiCoords is good for finding things in World of Warcraft from posts on Wowhead and Thottbot, because it gives you your current world coordinates at all times. Additionally, the AddOn tracks the player's location, as well as the curser/pointer position on the various incarnations of the World map.
