From the "CarboniteReadMe" plain text file that is in every Carbonite installation (in the main Carbonite folder):
-- Info Windows

Info windows show various bits of information in a small movable list.
Info #1 to #6 come with various default text in them.
Right click the Carbonite minimap button and select "Show Info 1 2" to make #1 and #2 visible. These are setup for the health and mana of you and your target.

To move or edit them, you need to unlock them on the Info Windows page of the Carb Options window.
Left click and drag the window title bar to move them around.
Right click a line in an unlocked info window and select "New" to show Info #3. Again will show #4 and so on.
Right click a line in an unlocked info window and select "Edit Item" to change the text for that line.

Info text:

<xxx> runs a command.
<c> is the color from the last command.
<t> is the text from the last command.
xxx is raw text.

Example:

<THealth><c>HP <t>
This runs the target health command, sets the color, shows the text "HP " and shows the text from the command.

You cannot currently add new lines to an Info Window, but Info #3, 5 and 6 have an extra blank line in them, which can be edited.

Info Window defaults:

#1 Your health, mana, DK runes, rogue combo points, global cooldown bar, casting bar.
#2 Target health, mana, casting bar.
#3 Durability, time to level.
#4 Battleground queues, start, duration, honor, stats.
#5 Time, FPS.
#6 Rest %
It continues to amaze me how many people (even long time Carbonite users) either don't know, or don't care, about this one simple resource for Carbonite. Although, without a doubt it could use some editing.

By the way, for those of you that use LDB displays, there is always the Broker Carbonite addon. It would be really nice to see some native LDB support in Carbonite for those of us using LDB displays, but, this works. 8^)
