cargoShip (Display) 
Yet another rewrite! For compatibility with old layouts of version 2.0.5 and older, you have to add local cargoShip = LibStub("LibCargoShip-2.1") to the top of your file!.
cargoShip is a LibDataBroker display-addon and library which can only be configured through changing the Lua-code. It was designed to provide a lightweight and flexible framework for creating info blocks based on data objects.
It provides support for the following attributes (you can add more if you like):
- icon, iconR, iconB, iconG, iconCoords
- text, label, value, suffix
- OnEnter, OnLeave, OnClick
- tooltip, OnTooltipShow
The addon comes with a sample layout which gives you a good start on creating and positioning your elements (in the layout.lua - with comments). Please note that I most likely use different LDB-data sources than you do
A short function reference (the complete one is on my GitHub repo):
- block = cargoShip("name" [, options]) - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source
- block = cargoShip(options) - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source in options.name
- blocks = cargoShip:Get(dataObject) - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source
- block = cargoShip:GetFirst(dataObject) - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source
- cargoShip:GetUnused(verbose) - returns a table of all unused data sources, and optionally prints it to chat
- block:SetDataObject(dataObject) - set a new data source for the block
Please drop a comment for your feedback, bug reports and/or suggestions.

Sorry for the late response, had a lot to do
 The frame disappears, because you basically "leave" the panel and "enter" the display-block. Blizz' API about entering/leaving is not very clever, so they don't really check if the panel is still underneath your mouse (and the block). Try to use this script: Code:
local updateFrame = CreateFrame"Frame"
updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
if(not MouseIsOver(f1)) then
HideTop()
self:Hide()
end
end
This update-routine basically checks as soon as you entered the panel every time if your mouse is still over the frame and so bypasses the false OnLeave. By the way, why don't you make all blocks in the panel as the panel's child with dominos:SetParent(f1) - Then you don't have to set the alpha-values for each block manually, because they inherit it from the panel. Hope, this works, as I didn't test it  |

dbm:SetAlpha(a1)
end
HideTop()
f1:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
f1:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)
for some reason when I mouseover one of those launchers on that panel whole panel vanishes and tooltip spawns instead. e.g. pic1: mouseover any element in that screen area - my panel shows up http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_001831.jpg pic2: and when I mouseover dominos launcher the panel disappears http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_002219.jpg If I remove tooltip spawning code in those launchers (i.e. onEnter/Leave handlers) everything works fine, but without tooltips which is sad  |

Well, display on mouseover is nothing that cargoShip does by itself, you would have to write your own functions for that in the layout. I would come up with a code snippet for you, but I'm very busy at the moment
 /script cargoShip:PrintUnused() does it, you don't need /print before it, because the function already prints it to the default chatframe. |

Mhh okay, I'll look into it.
But a more detailed description of the problem could be helpful, what do you mean exactly by "breaking"? |

Okay, well, to be honest, the only reason I still play WoW is because of addon development. The rest became boring after four years of active playing =P
And since I write them in my free time and also release them for free, there are of course the subscription fee's ... so if you want to support me, here's your chance!
And ... umm ... there's still the habit of eating lots of chocolate while thinking of addons :/
