Bazooka is a Data Broker Display similar in functionality and looks to FuBar.
Featrue highlights
- Top/Bottom alignment or free moving of bars.
- Left-click drag moves, right-click drag resizes the bar (unless the frames are locked).
- Drag-and-drop plugin placement with highlighted drop positions.
- Configurable background / font / icon size.
- The usual options for data broker displays (show text/icon/label, optionally show title in place of label if it's missing).
- Support of iconCoords and icon[RGB] (TomTom arrow, for example).
- Left / Center-Left / Center / Center-Right / Right placement position for plugins within bars, allowing easy layout of plugins. Plugins placed in the Center area are centered as a bunch.
- Optional auto-fade while in combat / out of combat.
- Optionally disable mouse / tooltips.
- Optional simple tooltips (just show title if Alt is held while moving the mouse pointer over the plugin).
- Optional highlight on mouseover for the active plugin.
- Load-on-demand configuration options, small memory footprint for "standard" operation.
- Bulk mode configuration that allows configuring multiple bars/plugins easily.
Usage
Getting started
- Create new bars from the main options window
- Drag plugins to desired location
- Drag plugins off bars to disable them
Slash commands
/bazooka- open configuration
/bazooka locked- toggle locked/unlocked state
Perks
- Multiple bars attached to the same position (Top/Bottom) presently overlap. This is probably not what most people expect. You need to position the second bar manually under the first one if you need multiple Top/Bottom bars using the Tweak anchor positions settings.
TODO
- I'll probably add grouping of plugins by type (launcher / data feed).
Options
Global options
- Locked
- Toggles locking/unlocking the frames. In locked state you can't drag the bars or the plugins.
- Enable simple tooltips
- Enables using a simplified tooltip while holding down the Alt key. This tooltip overrides the plugin-supplied one with just the plugin title. Useful to find out what addon provides the feed/launcher if it doesn't provide a tooltip of its own.
- Adjust frames
- Toggle adjusting blizzard frames to make room for top/bottom bars.
- Enable highlight
- Enable highlighting of current plugin (that would receive mouse clicks).
- Fade-out delay
- The delay before a bar fades after the mouse leaves its frame.
- Fade-out duration
- The length of the fade-out animation.
- Fade-in duration
- The length of the fade-in animation.
- Create new bar
- You guessed it, it creates a new bar.
Bar options
- Attach point
- Set the attach point of the bar, possible values:
- Top: attach to top of screen
- Bottom: attach to bottom of screen
- None: do not attach, the bar can be dragged to a place you like
- Strata
- Adjust the bar's strata.
- Fade in combat
- Enable fade-out while in combat.
- Fade out of combat
- Enable fade-out while out of combat.
- Disable mouse in combat
- Disable the mouse for the bar while in combat, making it click-thru. Doesn't apply to individual plugins shown in the bar.
- Disable mouse out of combat
- Disable the mouse for the bar while out of combat, making it click-thru. Doesn't apply to individual plugins shown in the bar.
- Fade opacity
- Set how much the bar should fade if Fade in combat or Fade out of combat is enabled.
- Left spacing
- Spacing between plugins positioned on the left side (Left area).
- Right spacing
- Spacing between plugins positioned on the right side (Right area).
- Center spacing
- Spacing between plugins positioned in the center (Center-Left, Center and Center-Right areas).
- Icon-text spacing
- Spacing between the icon and text of the plugins.
- Font
- The font used to display plugin texts.
- Font size
- Set the font size.
- Font outline
- Specify font outline.
- Icon size
- The size of the icon (shown to the left of the text if the plugin provides it).
- Label color
- Color to use to display the label provided by the plugin.
- Text color
- Color to use to display the plugin text.
- Suffix color
- Color to use to display the suffix string (if the plugin provides its text as value, suffix).
- Opacity
- Opacity to use for the plugin icon and text.
- Frame height
- The height of the bar.
- Frame width
- The width of the bar (only available if the bar is not attached to top/bottom).
- Fit to content width
- Fit the bar's width to match the size of the contents it displays (only available if the bar is not attached to top/bottom)
- Enable background
- Enable background options for the bar.
- Background texture
- Texture to use as the bar's background.
- Border texture
- Texture to use as the bar's border.
- Background color
- Color to use to tint the background texture. Note: not all background textures can be tinted, for example "Blizzard Dialog" is black, so tinting has no effect.
- Background border color
- Color of the border.
- Tile background
- Toggle tiling the background texture.
- Background tile size
- The size of the tiles (if Tile background is enabled).
- Border thickness
- The edge size used for the border texture.
- Tweak anchor positions
- Manually adjust the left/right/top/bottom anchor positions. It is useful if there's a small gap between the top of the screen and the top bar (due to some strange rounding wow does, or when using some of the border textures), or if you want to have several bars under each other but still have them attached to the top/bottom.
Plugin options
- Enabled
- Enable/disable the plugin.
- Show icon
- Toggle display of the icon provided by the plugin.
- Show label
- Toggle display of the label provided by the plugin.
- Show title
- Use plugin title as label if Show label is enabled but the plugin doesn't provide a label.
- Show text
- Toggle display of the text provided by the plugin.
- Hide tooltip on click
- If enabled, clicking the plugin hides the plugin's tooltip immediately.
- Disable tooltip
- Disable tooltip for this plugin.
- Disable tooltip in combat
- Disable tooltip for this plugin while in combat.
- Disable mouse in combat
- Disable the mouse for the plugin while in combat, making it click-thru.
- Disable mouse out of combat

- Force Hide Tooltip
- There are some plugins that don't hide their tooltip when the display addon tells them. Checking this option will enable special code that will try to hide those frame when needed. As this is sort-of hackish, you should only enable this option if the plugin in question really misbehaves (there's a certain amount of otherwise unnecessary CPU usage, and it can also cause otherwise "legal" stuff to break).
- Shrink threshold
- Set a threshold to specify the minimum size difference before the size of the plugin is shrunk, useful to reduce "jitter" caused by small text changes.
- Bar
- Select which bar should display the plugin.
- Area
- Select the area to place the plugin within the bar.
