A display platform for LibDataBroker (LDB) based plug-ins. The display is provided through panels, each having sections (Left, Center, Right) corresponding with how a plugin is justified within it.
All plugins are disabled by default and you must turn on the ones you want to use. This is to avoid the complete mess that results from all plugins being on with the first use. The only plugin on at the start is the one provided by this addon to access its options easily. Just click it to start changing settings.
With plugins unlocked you can drag and drop them to other panels/sections and have them automatically adjust to their new location. There are no limitations on the drag and drop capabilities other than the new location for a plugin must be within a panel. You may also change the location of a plugin through the plugin options menu.
Almost all sub-sections of settings have a default option. The defaults follow a set pattern. First plugins check their settings, if default, they next go to their panel's settings. If the panel is also set to default then it defers to the addon's global settings. Finally, if the global settings are still set to default, then the hard coded defaults are used.
Note: It is recommended that you delete the folder(s) for an existing addon when updating to a different version. This is to keep files that are no longer used from taking up space.
Translators: To submit a translation please just edit existing files (example: DockingStation\Locales\deDE.lua and DockingStation_Config\Locales\deDE.lua) and send them to me.

It seems the latest version has unexpected effects on my UI. I currently have Dominus micromenu on top of DockingStation and with the latest update the tooltip for the micromenu will flash, other onhover tooltips seemed to flash as well. The only addon I think might negatively interact with dockingstation i have is tiptac.
Using Broker_MicroMenu, the tooltip for the menu is displayed when I hover over the icon for it, and then immediately disappears when I try to click on something in the menu!

Thanks so much! It works great now. I copy pasted what you said and passed it on to the other author. BTW, I'm so happy you updated this for MoP. Docking Station is my favorite Broker addon and I would of dreaded trying to find one with the same functionality.
