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.

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.
In reply to Forge_User_14439038:
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.
In reply to tazrulez:
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.
In reply to MysticalOS:
Thanks for the fix and the heads-up. Just tagged a new release.
In reply to mitchnull:
I ended up reverting fix, while it worked it also threw taint. Maybe you can look into a better way of doing it.
the Issue is that LibJostle calls ClearAllpoints on MainMenuBar and that's a no no with 8.2.5, the fix I tried to apply is whent hat happens, restore showing the XP/AP/Rep status bar, and it worked, but it'd throw action blocked errors in combat because fixing it that way tainted MainMenuBar execution path. The 2nd fix I'm using locally that I did Not push is simply if frame == MainMenuBar then do nothing.. This is obviously fine if you only use a top bazooka bar anyways but if you use a bottom one, it's a problem because with jostle ignoring MainMenuBar it won't be moved up for a bottom bar. That's why I didn't push that fix, which was ONLY one I could find that that fixed the disappearing exp/rep bar without throwing taint.
In reply to MysticalOS:
Meh, I'm more and more inclined to just rip out LibJostle and force the users to install party frame and action bar addons...
In reply to mitchnull:
I'm still having the problem with the XP/AP/Rep bars, I had done troubleshooting disabling other apps but nothing would stick, those don't seem to actually be the issue - is there a plan for a potential fix for this? I'm using the bazooka bar at the top and it's still causing the issue once it "clicks in" after loading - sorry, I don't know the technical term for it, but it obviously is after it moves down the frames.
The bars in Bazooka work in classic, but the interface options do not.
When I try to open the bazooka options using Interface Options > AddOns, or /bazooka, the Bazooka section is completely blank. The only way to configure plugins is to load up Bazooka in retail, make changes, then copy the saved variables file over. That, or configure the lua file by hand in notepad.
As for a LDB plugin with similar items to titanpanel that works, Broker Everything has been updated for classic, but isn't up on curseforge yet:
