Skada Damage Meter
Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Note: I took a tiny break from WoW (a decade), but recently started playing SoD. Be aware that this addon may not quite work yet.
Usage
When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.
Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.
In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.
You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.
Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.
Plugins
Skada is easy to extend, and there were once many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality. However, there are unlikely to be any maintained ones currently.
There is a page with API information here.

Posted Oct 28, 2010I did a comparison between a World of Logs combatlog report and the Skada report for the same fight (Lich King hc, very static). It turns out that Skada shows 0 healing done by Powerword shield and Divine Aegis, while the WoL log shows 12M and 2.5M healing done by those spells. However this was done on oct 27, have there been any changes in showing these heals in the newest update?

Posted Oct 18, 2010I had been using recount for a long while but hated how it hogged up so much memory... and looked terribly ugly as well. I appreciate how you took the time to let us edit the general look and feel of the meters.
Best of luck :)

Posted Oct 16, 2010When using the blizzard default talent frames, and switching glyphs I receive an error message saying something skada was doing was protected and only available to the default UI. I am not sure what that something is however. Disabling skada fixes the issue. re-enabling it makes the issue return. I am using r306. It is most certainly skada causing this error as I have also tested it with no other addons enabled.

Posted Oct 15, 20101: The ability to add various strings into the title bar; Segment time, total for displayed view (total damage, total DPS, total healing, total interrupts, etc...), other strings (if you can think of any) and right/left justification on them. Or do a DogTag style title bar string?
2: The ability to add a fixed location bar (not affected by scrolling) on the top or bottom of the bar list display which also has similar string options to #1 (totals, segment time or DogTags style).
Would add a bit of flexibility in what can be displayed in the default window!

Posted Oct 14, 2010I was wondering if you could possibly make it so :FormatNumber would format numbers even for "Detailed" numbers. Seeing "Average hits" as 184.66666666666666666667 is quite annoying.
Thanks
