Hides the distracting GCD sweep animation on icons displayed by Blizzard's built-in Cooldown Manager — without touching real cooldown sweeps.

No configuration required — install and forget.
Every time your Global Cooldown fires, Blizzard's Cooldown Manager icons play a brief swipe/sweep animation. When you have many abilities tracked, this creates constant visual noise on every single GCD.
HideGCDSweep hooks each icon's cooldown frame and suppresses the swipe and edge-flash animations for any SetCooldown call with a duration at or below the GCD threshold (default 2 seconds). Real cooldowns above that threshold are left completely untouched and continue to show their sweep normally.
