InfoPanel - ReInformed

InfoPanel - ReInformed

InfoPanel - ReInformed is a lightweight information panel that will place itself at the bottom or top the screen. It's the successor of the original InfoPanel by Aezay (unmaintained since Nov 2020) containing updates to work with the War Within and Midnight expansions and now hugely expanded feature set. It slightly resembles other addons such as Titan Panel or FuBar, but Aezay tried to keep this one simple. I am trying to keep it as lightweight as possible and most importantly in working order. 

It supports plugins, which each will add different kind of information to the bar for quick review during combat without having to bring up other kind of interface.

Notice: As this addon does not move the default vanilla Blizzard UI, it should be used in combination with another addon that handles that or with the Edit Mode.

The slash command for this addon is "/ip".

The updates are still work in progress as of now. This means not everything can be considered final or stable.

Why Use InfoPanel - ReInformed?

With all the other major panel mods out there, you might wonder why even bother with this addon over the others which has more options and more plugins.
Well, this one was made with the thought of being lightweight in mind.
If you only have the use for a few plugins for your panel, such as one showing time, durability and your money. This addon is ideal, and it hardly takes any resources.

User Friendliness & Settings

As this is still an early release, I have not put in much time to improve the user friendliness, I run WoW with action bar and unit frame addons,
so if you use the normal blizzard UI, there might be some problems with those frames overlapping InfoPanel.

Setting up InfoPanel is quite limited in this early release, but to adjust the order in which the plugins appear,
you have to edit the "InfoPanel.toc" file and adjust the order of the plugins as you prefer to have them show.
If you wish to disable some of the plugins, simply just remove or comment out its entry in this file.

Future Plans

I have been using the original addon for its entire existence and I consider this as a must have for me so I'm planning to keep maintaining it as long as I play WoW. I also want to add few more features while still keeping it as simple as possible.
