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

I was wondering why Bazooka v2.1.0 is the last update here on curse, when you have r203 / r204 / r205 on the wowace site?
My updates are automatic with curse as I am in and out of hospital a lot and there is limited internet access there, so I don't always have the time to check the main addon sites.
r203 was just an experiment with the new texture API (to implement gradient background/borders), but it didn't work out. r204 is also just a minor thing, it disables the "Adjust Frames" option if LibJostle is not available, it shouldn't affect anyone really.
I'll give another go for the background/border thing with the old way of doing tiled textures, and then I'll release a new version.

However i have a problem : when typing /bazooka (or accessing the interface menu), the config menu has disappeared completely. I've tried reinstalling the mod but so far the problem's still there. Any idea ?
Thanks
Sorry, there's no built-in way to push BT4 bars. I could come up with a simple script to modify the saved variables of BT4 to push them up by a fixed amount, but by that time you could just move them all :)

I was wondering though if it were possible to add more options for the bar.
like adding "Guild list" and "faction list" and a few others I can't think of right now.
Check the "Obtaining plugins" section of the docs above. For the guild part, try http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11440-Broker_SocialState.html.

This does not occur if I snap Bazooka to the bottom of the screen and move my cursor to the very bottom of my screen.
Could you please help? Thank you.
Attach your bar back to the top, and adjust the top anchor position with the "Tweak anchor positions -> Top" bar setting (try setting it +/- 1, I don't remember which direction is + and which is - :)

I was wondering if anyone knew of something like VolumeFu that I could use here. It made it easy to access sound settings, and you could mute your game by double-clicking the icon. =]

Found the issue with the hidden bars. Seems the blizz animation system goes bananas if the duration is 0. I added a quick hack to fix this issue in v1.9.7.
