Pick for 11/23: Ara Broker XP (new) & WhispList (updated)

I forgot to mention last week that our PotW is now included in Wowhead's new blog! Wowhead is one of our sister sites, and it is a great source of information for items, npcs, spells, etc. Check out its database and the rest of the blog at http://www.wowhead.com/



Ara Broker XP:



This is a LibDataBroker plugin to display an ASCII representation of your experience bar. You can change which characters to use for the bar (could do ******* or >>>>>> or ~-~-~-~-~-~- even), how many times to repeat the pattern (how long the bar is), and what colors to use. Options are controlled in the lua file, but it should be fairly easy to customize it to your liking, and there are explanations on the addon's download page. Since this is just an LDB plugin, you will need a display to show it in. For more information on LibDataBroker, see this PotW.

To read more about it and download the addon, see here.



WhispList:



This is a list of your whisper history, both incoming and outgoing. It could be very helpful for raid leaders, selling your professions in SW, or just if you get a lot of whispers in general. The window can be set to show from 3-10 names, and the names are colored differently depending on whether the message was incoming or outgoing. You can sort the names in two different ways, and you can also save names between sessions (helpful if you need to reload your UI or get disconnected). Left-clicking a name allows you to whisper that person, and right-clicking a name will perform a /who.

Are you the author of a mod that you think belongs in this spotlight? Just upload/update it to WoWInterface, and it will automatically be considered for that week's Pick.
