ZZInfoBar v3

ZZInfoBar displays a bar that is able to show in several buttons nearly all available text based information on your screen. A special feature of ZZInfoBar is the plugin system, which dynamically creates only your selected buttons to display only the information you really want to see and removes all deactivated ones to save performance. Because of that ZZInfoBar itself is only a core addon that does the management but not provides any information by itself. All functionality is seperately displayed by user installed plugins like the ZZInfoBar Standard Plugins Pack that gets shipped with the ZZInfoBar download.

Configuraton

Plugins

As ZZInfoBar itself is only the core that implements functionality for buttons with optional tooltips and dropdowns it does not know what it might need to display at some later time. Because of that every new button that has not been given a position yet, will be displayed in a list above, or below the bar depending on the bars alignment on the screen. While holding shift + right mouse button you can move every button around the InfoBar. Dragging an button onto another one will align them. Don't worry, just try around with that to find out what button layout feels best to you.

A right click on the menu ("gear") button on the left side of ZZInfoBar displays the plugins dropdown. Every plugin for ZZIB that is installed and has sucessfully registered itself will be displayed here. Click yourself through the several configuration menus to make ZZInfoBar fit to you the best.

Note on .os-Fix

The ZZInfoBar core does not need any .os-Fix addon and the ZZTimeNDate Plugin in the Standard Plugins Pack has it's own fix (MorphClock library) implemented. You can also use your manually installed .os-Fix (ex: MorphClock Standalone, d303Fix, Fix-for-Patch303)
