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.

Posted Aug 15, 2016Agreed... it also seems to have added a border, which I can't find any way to disable. I've always loved skada, but the border clashes with my UI :(

Posted Aug 15, 2016The border, which should only affect new windows, can be turned off in the settings by either setting window border texture to "None", or settings border thickness to 0.

Posted Aug 15, 2016The error is fixed now. Not sure why your window changed; only new windows should be affected.

Posted Aug 15, 2016This happened to my main skada window as well. Can't figure out how to change it back to the old window style without messing with every single option. Extremely frustrating, as I very much dislike the new look. :(

Posted Aug 8, 2016Really really would love to see the ability to make the whole skada window clickthrough. At the moment the only clickthrough option is for the bars and it doesn't even make the bars clickthrough it only makes the window the bars are in click through. this is very bad for healing when where you're trying to cast a spell right where a bar is and it just starts changing settings on your bar.
im going back to recount, sadly, until this option is available.

Posted Jul 28, 2016I love this addon but noticed that it still pops up in pet battles. I recall that this was fixed initially several versions ago but it seems to have come back and I could find no options to turn it off for pet battles when looking through the options.

Posted Jul 27, 2016Greater Blessing of Might is currently showing up under the person the spell is cast on, instead of the casting Paladin. I believe the advance combat log shows who the casting paladin was so the damage can be attributed to the Paladin (warcraftlogs does this already). If its possible this would be super helpful!

Posted Jul 28, 2016I'm not sure it is fixed yet.
I keep showing Soul Effigy doing like 25-32K, at lvl 108. And that is is. No other spell shows up, unless I cast it directly on the boss.
I switched out of it and I was doing 97K - 127k.
Something is still not correct with its spell recordings.

Posted Jul 27, 2016I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it has always been like this, but since the prepatch update Skada sits at a really high frame strata and covers anything below it. Before, it used to sit below other overlapping frames. Is there a fix for this, or at least an option to manually adjust the frame depth position?
