I proposed putting them side by side about 3-4 weeks ago when I was prototyping all this and got very mixed reviews on the idea. The biggest problem I ran into with it, however, was the issue of having three mods to contend with -- recount / omen / ktm -- without getting into the specifics of how the info panels work now, I don't have the luxury of all three of them having the same parent frame anymore and you can't change parent frames in combat... so... if you have a panel that is Recount/Omen and another that is Recount/KTM then somehow Recount has to have two different parent panels at the same time, which it can't, or you have to change its parent when you change panels and that would taint in combat.

So... I abandoned the idea.

HOWEVER, before you begin the mourning process ~smile~ the info panels are plugins. You can add new info panels as separate mods to nUI and have them integrate right in. So, once I get things settled with the core nUI app, then I can do things like create a custom Omen/Recount panel that you can download and have replace your individual Omen and Recount panels with a combined panel, etc.

So... keep the faith ~smile~
