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".
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.

Is there any way to disable the new notification system (either in Skada or in libnotify's options)? Couldn't find it anywhere.

even with ElvUI addonskins disabled
Did you restart the game after updating Skada? If not, try that. If you are using "Install Dependencies Separately" in the Curse app, try disabling that.
I didn't make any updates, i think it started happening after i disabled some modules and no i don't use "install dependencies seperately". That option only creates a complete mess. i'll try a reinstallk of 1.6.4 with all modules active, and try over the weekend to see if i can narrow things down
Curse Client does NOT download LibNotify if you install libraries seperately
I found your problem because I had this issue as well. In your embeds.xml file, you are using Include for the .lua files instead of Script. Changing the two lines to use Script lets it load the dependencies just fine. You probably aren't seeing the issue because you're already loading LibNotify elsewhere beforehand.
please add specc icon !
Why is Bone Shield not currently tracking for Blood Death Knights?
WHY is skada disabled all the time- freaking ridiculous-
Make sure you don't have "Hide when solo" enabled.
Is it possible to separate the highest / lowest / average damage of a spell into highest crit / hit, lowest hit / crit, average hit / crit when viewing damage sources of players?
When Legacy of the Windrunners proc in my MM hunter rotation (from Aimed Shot), the strikes register as Aimed Shot damage. It would be nice to have them as separate damage.
Well, I feel silly because I'm sure I must know the answer to this. I can't seem to fix this tho.
I reinstalled Skada and the window is stuck at the top right of my screen. There is no way to move it and the title bar is off the top of the screen, so I can't grab it to move. I've relogged several times and done whatever I could think of, but no luck. Can anyone help me figure out how to move it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Try this: open Skada's configuration, click "Profiles", and then choose to reset your profile.
after since i updated to new patch addon is not working, addon is loaded but it dont show any options in interface > addons or any icon on minimap and not even commands working. addon is active and i tried both manual downloading it and using curse client but still same problem.
since last patch skada wont "reset" between fights so "current fight" always show overall damage
Hopefully this will get a fix.
getting negative numbers for total healing with % in brackets, total heal and heal are both -'s ,% in main screen is -
loving the addon ty
edit :I did another lfr with the same settings and didn't get the - numbs
edit2: t happened in the The Rift of Arn,think massive amnts of healing caused it
