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.
/bazooka locked
- Toggle locked/unlocked state.

- Make the bars hidden. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).
/bazooka showbars
- Make the bars visible. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).
/bazooka togglebars
- Toggle hidden/visible state of bars. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).

Was looking at switching to this to replace Fubar. One problem I had, was that I couldn't turn off all the LDB's that floated in the middle of my screen. I was able to assign the plugins to bars, but that didn't remove them from the center of the screen. Sorry if I am posting this problem in the wrong place...
Sorry, I have no idea why that happens. I didn't do anything special with Bazooka in this regard...

Any ideas what I can do to make things move/work like FuBar used to do when making bars at the bottom it moved stuff up. And likewise for bars at the top moving things down (eg the map, etc).
Thanks.
Have you tried the "Adjust Frames" global option? (Bazooka global option)

SUI detected FuBar fine, but wouldn't work properly with others it seemed.
So since the FuBar an Bazooka bar systems are similar, it was easy enough to mod the SpartanUI system to detect and work with Bazooka too.
http://forum.spartanui.com/index.php?topic=2462.msg14765 <- The forum post I made.
And for those who don't have access to it for whatever reason, heres the code snippet (add to both BottomBar.lua and Global-Framework.lua in SpartanUI addon area, as well as of course adding ", Bazooka" to the end of the OptionalDeps line in the TOC)
[code]<br/> if (_G["BazookaBar_"..i] and _G["BazookaBar_"..i]:IsVisible()) then<br/> local bar = _G["BazookaBar_"..i];<br/> local point = bar:GetPoint(1);<br/> if point == "BOTTOMLEFT" then fubar = fubar + bar:GetHeight(); end<br/> end<br/>[/code]
Add the above right after the if/then/end statements in ref to the fubarframe visible lines in both files and your sorted, :-D Works great now.
I found these:

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12461-Broker_CPUMemoryPerformance.html
also, take a look at these lists for more plugins:

(sorry, I couldn't find the curse direct-link for the brokers...)
