You can configure a separate sound for each of the five seconds and the "Begin!" display, as well as turn on/off the feature.

Configure special macro buttons in a new window that will automatically equip an activatable "clicky" item, cast the buff, then re-equip the previous item. See image below. Inspired by this conversation on the EQ2Wire forums

A variety of item types beyond gear pieces are good candidates for a buff macro including totems (runspeed, invisibility, etc.), mender bot, teleport items, food and drink, tinkered lifestones and manastones, repair kits, divining rods. If you use a specific mount when tradeskilling, you can set up a macro to switch to it from inventory

• Use macro tiles to cast item buffs and spells in three ways:

+ directly from inventory
+ equip and cast
+ equip, cast and re-equip

• Monitor Maintained buffs to remind you to recast
• Send a custom line of text into your chat log to assist with ACT refresh timers
• Dynamically resize macro tiles
• Toggle the window from Start menu or Command Bar
• Optionally display the macro window on login

Setup is relatively painless using the DarqUI utility, and you will probably want to use it even though the in-game Window Manager has a setup page. There is plenty of help if you click the [?] on the Gear Buff Macros utility page. Also check out the Gear Buff Macros tutorial

• The utility no longer offers two copies of Ascension and AA spells when doing a Census lookup

As if the DarqUI Threat window needed more options, you now have much more flexibility in which sections of the window to display. Minimally, you can display the threat bar by itself. Or you can add any of the other six divisions (see image below)

This allows you to [Alt+Tab] to other applications or mouse over to a secondary monitor without the graphical issues that come with switching between full-screen and windowed modes.
