ChocolateBar Broker Display
ChocolateBar will create a bar on top or bottom of your screen where other addons called broker plugins can display stuff like your fps.
Example Bar:
Main Features
- Easy setup, install & go!
- Multiple bars - top or bottom as many as you want.
- Left, right and center alignment.
- Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom.
- Easy config, simply drag a plugin and drop points will show. The idea is to easily disable a plugin or toggle its text. See pics.
- Load-on-demand options, and small memory footprint.
- More Chocolate - a broker plugin to show a bar that will autohide again. Great for launchers or other plugins you don't need visible all the time:)
Options for:
- Show bars on mouse over only.
- Hide bars in combat.
- Hide bars during a pet battle.
- Set a fixed width for any plugin.
- Change textures, font, colors and a lot more...

You miss a feature or found a bug? I look forward to your feedback.
Warning!
If you enable bottom bar with this addon, it crashes your UI when you use vehicles.Reloading UI solves it but it happens every time you use vehicles or Demon Hunter talents like Rain from Above.
So, if you somehow encounter this problem, probably this addon is your culprit too, or whatever subroutine coding etc. it's using.
If the author also sees this, I hope you can fix this problem. After all this was my favourite panel addon, but since it was quite problematic I had to move to Titan Panel, it works without any problems.
In reply to Aernath:
I can confirm this. I've been trying to figure out what addon I was using that was causing my UI/ability bars to quit functioning after exiting a "vehicle" and was unfortunately unable to test all my addons for this bug because I did not have access to a vehicle that I could drop in and out of constantly while enabling and disabling all my addons. After seeing Aernath's post I tested it on my end by disabling ChocolateBar on one of my characters and did not run into any issues with my ability bar malfunctioning through all the vehicle type dailies I completed today. Hoping for a fix as soon as possible. Thanks.
In reply to Aernath:
Edith: Fixed with 3.6.6
In reply to Aernath:
Thanks for reporting this :)
Should not work same as TitanPanel. If you leave a vehicle but are still in combat the bottom bar will not be adjusted back until combat ends.
I can't move any of my data feeds. I get an error about a backdrop. Is anyone else having trouble moving data feeds?
In reply to toychristopher:
same. it's been broken since the update in october and there is an issue posted about it. i sure hope this addon isn't abandoned. :(
@mairenn, your "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" doesn't actually hide the bars during a pet battle 😄. Can you help us out with a fix for that, makes it hard for me to see what abilities are stronger/weaker in my pet battles.
In reply to Fostot:
The fix for the "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" issue is actually uncommenting line 156 and 157 in core.lua. Source for this was https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chocolatebar?comment=413
Still waiting for a fix that buff frames get pushed down again instead of overlapping the bar. Don't see a reason why I should install diff addons to do that if ChocolateBar was used to do that by it's own.
Hello I'm having a problem when after exiting a vehicle UI, I can't interact with my action bars and by top and bottom Chocolate bars do not display any plug ins. Reloading UI sets it back to normal.
OK I did a fix myself before this v3.6.3 update and there was added features like the item level and character played time displayed on the chocolatebar. Those are now gone. WHY? I loved those and want them back! How do I get those back without reverting to my fix so I can keep receiving your updates?
In reply to Khedrak:
Check the ChocolateBar toc and add remove the # before the line of the plugin you want back.

In reply to miarenn:
Thank you
Having the option in game like all the other addons plugins where we can turn them on or off would be so much better. Because if its updated here again I'll have to do that all over again.
In reply to Khedrak:
The thing is I added them by mistake as I felt they are not ready
In reply to Forge_User_73589814:
It actually did that automatically, but yes I did.
::Edit::
I just found it. It was LibSharedMedia-3.0 which wasn't installed.
In reply to Maerdred:
Ah nice! Which specific addon did you have to install? (link, if possible)
I've fixed that using Dominos and Dominos_Auras (the later does work with 9.01).
Why is the latest version (3.6.2 as of now) still not showing up on Curse?
In reply to minniegarfeeld:
I'm having the same issue. The buff frame is slightly overlapping with the chocolate bar frame.

Yes, me too!
