CoolLine is a single bar the size of one of your boss timer bars, that shows all of your cooldowns. Takes up way less space than all those action bars. I only have 6 visible action buttons in my entire UI, on all classes.

CargoShip. I don't think it's maintained anymore, but nothing in the LibDataBroker and basic frame APIs have changed in a long time, so it should probably still work fine.

If you're using the built-in floating combat text it's not really movable. Mik's Scrolling Battle Text is popular, actively maintained, and quite lightweight especially given its configurability, so I'd suggest using that. Some people like Parrot, but its original author abandoned it years ago, and it's just gotten random fixes here and there from random community members, so I wouldn't recommend getting attached to it.
