InfoPanel
InfoPanel is a lightweight information panel that will place itself in the edge of the screen, it slightly resembles other addons such as Titan Panel or FuBar addon, but I've tried to keep it simple.
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.
The slash command for this addon is "/ip".
Why Use InfoPanel?
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 an early release, I have not put in much time to improve the user friendliness, I run WoW with action bar and unit frame mods,
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 "Plugins.xml" 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.

InfoPanel Changes 2009 Apr 02
- Bag: Cleaned up and simplyfied the code.
- Clock: Added a way to easily edit the code to change the format to a 12 hour clock. Just look for "show24HourClock" at the top of the Lua file and change it from true to false.
- SpellPower: Now includes the constant buffs "Heroism/Bloodlust" and "Wrath of Air Totem" into the shown haste. Does not include "Improved Moonkin Form" or "Retribution Aura" with the "Swift Retribution" talent, because they are talents and the people giving those auras might not have it.
- SpellPower: Will now always show whichever is highest, spellpower or healing.
- AttackPower: No longer shows a negative value if afflicted by a debuff that reduces AP.
- Group: Clicking this will now open up the raid info pane.
- Reputation: The reputation pane will open if clicked.
- Honor: Now opens up the PvP frame when clicked.
- Honor: Changed the icon into a proper button icon.
- Honor: Will now show the time left until Wintergrasp starts. Needs the 3.1 patch.
- Did some general code optimisation.
- Core: The border around each plugin's icon is now hidden.
- Core: The offsets between the plugin frames is now a little lower.
- Core: Plugins are now assigned a default OnEvent handler which will call "pluginFrame[event]".
