A movable panel for World of Warcraft showing your secondary stats in your specialization's priority order, alongside item level, movement speed and framerate — with essentially every pixel of it configurable.
Colors, textures, transparency, borders, fonts, sizes, layout, which stats appear and how their numbers are written are all options. If you would rather not configure anything, pick one of the 22 presets and you are done.
The default Modern Bars preset: secondaries in Beast Mastery's priority order, item level in the title, session speed peak, and framerate with both latencies.
Appearance
- Two row styles: status bars, or a text-only readout (
Mastery: 285 - 10.65%) - Per-stat colors, or class color / single color / value gradient
- Panel and bar textures, borders and transparency
- Font face, size, outline, shadow and color, per text element
- Auto-sizing width, or a fixed width you choose
Stats
- Crit, Haste, Mastery, Versatility ordered by your spec's priority — from a built-in baseline, or paste a Pawn / sim weight string for your exact order
- Armor damage reduction, Dodge, Parry, Block
- Leech, Avoidance, Movement speed with a session peak
- Strength / Agility / Intellect / Stamina, plus a "Primary" row that resolves to whichever attribute your character actually scales with
- Attack power, spell power, health, mana, and Brewmaster stagger
- Sections can be renamed, reordered, and any stat moved between them
Quality of life
- Per-character profiles, with import/export strings for sharing
- Automatic profile switching by specialization or content type
- Live preview docked beside the options window while you configure
- Right-click menu on the panel for quick toggles, presets and profiles
- Minimap button and a LibDataBroker feed
- Gear audit: per-slot item level and upgrade track, tier set count, missing enchants, empty sockets and below-Epic gems
- Key bindings for the panel, profiles and the gear audit
- Ten languages, each complete (see Locales/README.md); nothing embedded
- Chat announce for your gear summary
Copy the StatPanel folder into:
World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/
Then restart the game (or /reload if the addon was already installed with the
same file list). Type /sp to open the options.
Optional: if any addon you run provides LibSharedMedia-3.0 — ElvUI, WeakAuras, Details!, Plater and many others do — every texture and font registered with it appears in StatPanel's dropdowns automatically. Nothing is embedded and nothing is required.
| Want | Do |
|---|---|
| Open the options | /sp |
| Try a different look | Options → Presets |
| Move the panel | Drag it (untick Lock position first) |
| Quick toggles | Right-click the panel |
| Match a sim's stat priority | Options → Priority, paste a Pawn string |
| Check your enchants | /sp gear |
| Preset | Looks like |
|---|---|
| Modern Bars | The default: flat dark panel with colored bars |
| Classic Text | No bars — one colored line per stat, with ratings |
| Compact Bars | Thin headerless bars, small footprint |
| Blizzard | Blizzard textures and a tooltip border |
| Transparent | No background or border at all |
| Minimal Mono | Tiny monochrome text in a corner |
| Neon | High-contrast glow bars with a spark |
| Parchment | Warm parchment and gold |
| Frostbound / Ember | Cool blue / warm red themes |
| Class Colored | Every bar in your class color |
| Colorblind Safe | Okabe-Ito palette, readable with red-green colour blindness |
| Big & Bold | Large high-contrast text, readable at a distance |
| Ultra Compact | Four secondaries, nothing else |
| Terminal | Green-on-black console readout |
| ElvUI / ElvUI Transparent | Matches your ElvUI theme (see below) |
| Tank / Healer / PvP | Role-appropriate stat selections |
| Speedrunner | Big live speed with your session record |
| Raid Ready | Secondaries, item level and both latencies |
The two ElvUI presets read your live ElvUI configuration — border color, backdrop color, texture, font and font size — so StatPanel matches whatever you have themed it to. Without ElvUI installed they fall back to a static approximation and still work.
| Command | Does |

/sp toggle |
Show or hide the panel |
/sp lock |
Lock or unlock dragging |
/sp reset |
Move the panel back to the center |
/sp preset <name> |

/statpanel works as a longer alias for all of the above.
Each stat's text is a small template. Write whatever you like:
| Token | Gives |
|---|---|
$value |
The headline number, to your chosen decimals |
$rating |
The raw combat rating behind it |
$valuec / $ratingc |
The same, with thousands separators |
$label |
The stat's display name |
$max |
The configured bar maximum |
$peak |
Session peak (movement speed) |
$yards |
Yards per second (movement speed) |
$per |
Combat rating this stat costs per 1% |
So $rating - $value% renders as 285 - 10.65%.
The title has its own tokens: $equipped, $overall, $name, $spec,
$class, $level. iLvl: $equipped / $overall gives
iLvl: 226.06 / 228.19.
Midnight introduced secret values: most combat statistics are handed to addons in a form that can be displayed but not read. An addon may not do arithmetic on them, compare them, or send them anywhere.
StatPanel is built for this, and shows your stats normally. A few features cannot work on a protected value and degrade quietly rather than failing:
- Bar smoothing jumps straight to the value instead of easing
- Auto-scaling bar maximums stop growing
- The value-gradient color mode parks at its low end
- Auto-width cannot measure that row
$perrenders as-, since it is a division- Chat announce omits those stats — no addon is permitted to send them
Item level, movement speed, spec and all gear data are not protected, so those work fully everywhere, including announce.
If a future patch changes what is protected, StatPanel picks that up on its own with no update needed.
Each character remembers which profile it uses, so alts can share one look or each have their own. Profiles can be copied, and exported to a string you can paste to someone else.
Automation (in the options) can switch profiles for you — by specialization, or by where you are (raid, dungeon, arena, battleground, open world). A content rule beats a spec rule, so "Tank profile for Protection, but always Raid Ready inside a raid" works as you would expect. Rules are per character, and nothing switches unless you set a rule.
The addon is plain Lua with no build step. Files load in the order listed in
StatPanel.toc, and each depends on the ones before it.

tools/deploy.ps1 mirrors the addon into your live AddOns folder:
pwsh -File tools/deploy.ps1 # deploy once
pwsh -File tools/deploy.ps1 -Watch # redeploy on every savelua tests/run.lua # everything
lua tests/run.lua profiles # one spec file
tests/ loads the addon under a stubbed client (tests/wow_stub.lua) and calls
the pure logic directly — priority parsing, the $token templates, the profile
schema and migration, import/export, and every preset. No dependencies:
tests/harness.lua is the framework. It does not, and cannot, replace loading
the addon in game; it covers the parts that never needed a game to be wrong.
pwsh -File tools/locale-lint.ps1 checks the translations, and
-Export <locale> prints a ready-to-fill stub for a new one.

Releases are automated: push a v* tag and CI builds the zip, attaches it to a
GitHub release, and uploads it anywhere a token is configured.
