Something in between a datafeed and a display addon for LibDataBroker.
It's an adaptation of Astromech's Carousel Display addon and therefore he deserves all the credits. Instead of displaying multiple datafeeds in a single frame, this wraps those datafeeds in one new datafeed for any display addon to use. It also creates a second 'control' feed for cycling through your selected feeds...
It's in beta at the moment. I'm trying figure out the last details and a way to create multiple wraps. It's mostly functional though.

Well to be honest. A screenshot seems inappropriate for what is essentially a datafeed. It would only show a display addon like Fortress or StatBlockCore at work...
EDIT: But what the heck :)
This is Broker_Wraps wrapping the blocks from Broker_CasterStats in one block for Fortress. If the left 'Control' block is clicked, the wrap-block will jump to the Spellpower block...
Haven't thought about it yet to be honest, but wouldn't it be possible to simply exclude the feed made by Broker_Wraps from the selection menu (and defaulting to not selected of course)?
Could you sort the list of modules alphabetically as has been recently added to Fortress? Also (like Fortress) it'd be nice to have a global setting for what to display, rather than manually having to adjust each module (if they're all being adjusted to the same settings).
would it be difficult to add an option to change the display feeds on a timer as well as manualy clicking? or having multiple displays with different lists of addons?
the idea im working towards is to have my statblock displays rotate in a single frame automaticly

it would be exactly that, a slide show for my addons... statblocks is perfect for the concept. if im trying to monitor my crit, hit and AP i currently need three blocks some where in my UI but if wraps had a slideshow like feature i would have one block and it would do the cycling.
The additional bars would allow for setting up multiple groups of slide shows
There will be multiple wraps at some point, that was always the idea.
The rotation thing: I'm not gonna do it.
However. There is already the possibility to check 'jump to this feed when it gets updated'. If you select that on all your feeds, I think you'll be close to what you want (well not really, but it might be good enough for you)...
Another thing to note is that from all the displays I have tested this with, SBC has the most problems with it... Suffix updates are weird, tooltips are problematic.

Disabling those is on my todo list... (the one in my head)...
If I do manage to create multiple wraps, theoretically you could nest one in the other...
Good luck coding in something that checks for circular dependency!
I'll believe you if you say it's not that easy :)

Global settings are not there because there's noting to set except for on and off. Colors, position, font: all handled by your actual display add-on.

xD Like a slideshow for your addons? :p

I don't use it myself, so if there's a problem with it, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
