Disabling ability highlight overlay

I had, until yesterday, a kind of addon that disabled the glowing overlay that highlights abilities that can be used or can be used due to a buff. It wasn't technically an addon, but was actually a folder that is placed in the wow/interface directly, rather than the wow/interface/addon directory. In cleaning out some mods I deleted the folder, and unfortunately my recycle bin was full at the time so I was unable to simply recover it. I first found it a few days after Cataclysm released, when many others were looking for the same thing, but I do not remember where I found it and Google-fu is failing me.
Does anyone know where I can find it again? The folder was called Spell Activation Overlay, which is presumably the official name of the effect, and the folder would overwrite the default functionality.
I prefer to disable it because I still sometimes rely on the cooldown clock timer that is shown on abilities, which is greatly obscured by the highlight overlay. I have other means, that I am more accustomed to and that are less obtrusive, of showing when important abilities are available for use.

It probably was just a set of empty, transparent textures overriding the ones that the game uses to produce the glow effect. No idea what it might have been called.
