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...
Where to get plugins?
Data Broker category on WoWInterface
Updated list
Usage
Right click the bar or type "/chocolatebar" to open the options menu.

You miss a feature or found a bug? I look forward to your feedback.

Posted Dec 14, 2022I was so excited to see this finally updated. Sadly it does not work for me. It shows in the addons menu but not in the game. I do get an error for this as well. I'm not sure if it conflicts with something else I have or is purely an error for the addon itself.
1x ChocolateBar/Core.lua:387: attempt to index field 'ChocolateBar1' (a nil value)
[string "@ChocolateBar/Core.lua"]:387: in function `EnableDataObject'
[string "@ChocolateBar/Core.lua"]:334: in function `LibDataBroker_DataObjectCreated'
[string "@ChocolateBar/Core.lua"]:158: in function <ChocolateBar/Core.lua:156>
[string "=[C]"]: ?
[string "@DataStore/libs/AceAddon-3.0-13/AceAddon-3.0.lua"]:66: in function <DataStore/libs/AceAddon-3.0/AceAddon-3.0.lua:61>

OMG I know that is supposed to be the first thing to do before saying anything *facepalm* Wasn't thinking at all lol. It's working with no errors now. Sorry for the delayed response as RL was keeping me busy. Thank you much for this add-on. It is my favorite broker bar :)

What exactly du you mean? I could find no issue with the "Fonts and Textures" > "Texture Color/Alpha" transparency settings.

Posted Dec 11, 2022With version 3.9.6 you will need to use edit mode to adjust the Minimap and Playerframes.
ChocolateBar will not touch those in retail for now. Maybe I will look into it later.
For those of you who have a bottom bar. ChocolateBar will still move the XP bar and the MicroMenu up above the bottom bar as those are not movable in edit mode.

Posted Dec 4, 20223.9.1 is completely broken for me too. WoW (Retail) no longer recognizes it as an addon. Downgrading to 3.9 fixes it.

Had the same situation. Seems to be because the TOC filename changed, so on in-game /reload it just sees it as no longer there to reload. A full close of the game and restarting it should pick it up, or did for me.

As Medlir said it should be fine once you restart the game.

Every now and then when I play, the default UI overlaps with the bar:
(Forgive the oversaturation of the image, that's a side effect of taking a screenshot with HDR on)
Reloading UI sometimes fixes it though, so it's inconsistent why it does it. Sometimes it happens when zoning into an instance or sometimes just when logging in (like in this picture).
Sometimes I can fix it by toggling "Adjust Blizzard Frames" off then on again. For now, I think I'll just work around it by using Edit Mode to move everything down myself and turn this option off.

Thanks for this! Works perfectly!
It's always sad when an addon author abandons their years long, million downloads addon and is not even interested in checking their own addon page for issues.
