Customizable Stat Block

I've seen something similar to this in a video or two, but for the life of me I can't find them or remember the names. And I have no idea what kind of Addon will do this.

Basically I want a block or square of stats that is updated in real time. Things like haste percentage, crit percentage, spell/attack power, latency, durability, rep/xp and such.
I'm not sure, but I believe the background is blank and the text is somewhat customizable.

I want to make a block with 6 stats in them depending on which toon I log in with. Something that looks like this:

Code:
2500 SP       85% durability

20% Haste     55% rep

30% Crit      439 ms
Is there anything out there like this? or am I just hallucinating?

You can make this yourself using ncDatatext.



It's a little bit outdated, but might update it soon.

You could give a try with LiteStats+LitePanels, very very good mods and very customisable with a little bit of lua knowledge.

If you decide to go with litestats, you will need litepanels as litestats is a plugin for litepanels.

How ever litepanels is in my opinion far better than kgpanels, and uses less memory to boot.

check out litepanels here:Clicky

Also check out this thread on it here:LitePanels Layout Discussion thread

That's actually really close to what I want, Seerah, now to put it into a square rather than flat rectangle.

I believe you can move them all around individually independently, if you use StatBlockCore.

Just tried it. With and without StatBlockCore.

It was either a flat rectangle or stack on top of one another. I couldn't get the block to update correctly either. I'll take another whack at it after sleep.

P.S. -
I'm looking for something to fill the area directly under the four buttons to the right of the minimap. Mainly with current SP, Haste, Crit, Latency and hopefully with xp/rep and durability.



P.P.S. - Sorry if I sound a bit confusing. Long raid night and I'm a bit muddled. I'll make more sense in the morning.

Took another look at ncDataText. It's probably the one I'm going to go with.
/sigh... time to actually learn lua and not just coast on the basics.

I can deduce some things from the default displays of the addon, but I don;t know how to retrieve character stats.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll donate a cookie to science in their name.

spellpower
attack power
crit
haste
armor
dodge
parry
and/or block

::EDIT::
Note to self - Follow the instructions of the WoWI Comic before posting. Just discovered http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API
It helps a lot.


Now to main question is how to get the text to display on top of my panels. The panels are all set to Background, but the text still doesn't display on top.
