Bazooka
Bazooka is a Data Broker Display similar in functionality and looks to FuBar.
Feature highlights
- Top/Bottom alignment or free moving of bars.
- Left-click drag moves, alt-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.
- Restrict plugin text width
- Disable minimap icons
- Tooltip scale override
- Support for OnMouseWheel, OnReceiveDrag and OnDoubleClick script handlers for plugins
- Optionally override plugin defined text colors
Usage
Getting started
- Create new bars from the main options window
- Drag plugins to desired location
- Drag plugins off bars to disable them
- Dragging bars while holding Alt will change their attached/detached state. Otherwise top/bottom bars will snap back to top or bottom depending on where you drop them.
Using the bulk configuration (standard method)
- Uncheck Auto-apply.
- Check the bars/plugins you want the settings to apply to.
- Check Apply next to the settings you want to change, and set them to the value you need.
- Click Apply at the bottom of the options. The changes you selected will be applied to all selected bars/plugins at this point.
Using the bulk configuration (auto-apply method)
- Check Auto-apply.
- Check the bars/plugins you want the settings to apply to.
- Change the settings (or click the Apply text next to them if their current value is the one you want). The changes will be applied immediately to all selected bars/plugins.
Slash commands
/bazooka
- Open configuration.

Is mouseover on some of the broker plugins still broken, or is it just me?

I have a bar set to hide during combat, but when I leave a dungeon while in combat, the bar does not show up again. This happens frequently when leaving a bad group in the group finder or when running out of a low level dungeon with mobs still aggroed, or even while entering a ground finder dungeon while in combat.
If you need any testers for Shadowlands update I volunteer :-) My addon has Bazooka as a dependency so looking forward to seeing this updated.
Is there a fix for the bouncing bottom bar and micro menu bar?
It's been moving for quite a long time. I noticed that Titan Panel does not appear to have the issue; however, I like Bazooka better.
Friends module is showing guild members in the mouse over menu since this patch. Clicking on it does bring up Friends window but the mouse over tooltip is incorrect.

Hello,
This sounds like an issue with the "Friends" plugin you use. Try filing a report to them.
In reply to mitchnull:
Thanks. I am using Broker Everything with Bazooka and I guess the error is at their end. I have posted on their page.
If you are looking for a replacement for Bazooka in Classic, try ChocolateBar. It is a LDB display just as Bazooka is and has been updated for Classic. All of the functions and options that you look for in Bazooka are in ChocolateBar.
Just for clarification, I am just a user of both Bazooka and ChocolateBar, but I REALLY need my information in game so Retail I use Bazooka and in Classic use ChocolateBar.,
Cheers!
In reply to Lazare:
Thanks for this.
Candy also works without dual spec or other errors for Classic.
After the 8.2.5 patch, i noticed that my bottom bar seems to drop down and the xp/ap bars are gone. The gryphons on the sides move down as well so the bottom part of them that is right next to the xp/ap bars are gone. I tested to make sure it is this addon by just having bazooka and bazooka options in the addon folder and renaming my wtf folder and it still did the same thing.

I just fixed this bug in https://www.wowace.com/projects/libjostle-3-0
If mitch is happy with fix, he can probably push a bazooka update with updated lib to resolve issue.
