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...

That site will give you a pretty good start.
I was diagnosing an issue with cBroker: Recount today and found that it leaves .text as "" and only sets .value and .suffix. From my understanding, it should be setting the .text as well, so the issue is with cBR, not ChocolateBar. Will CB be supporting this feature of LDB in the future, though?

Since it happened when I opened a ticket, i would really suspect interaction with the Golden Ticket addon.
fixed in r44

no big deal, figured I'd ask =)
The bar works great otherwise, I've had far less problems than I did with fubar and titan
No sorry, would be bad cpu usage. Just blame the author of you data feed or use a different one.
I like this addon alot, but Button Bin was better for me.
Thank you for writing this addon, keep up the good work!
Unfortunately I could not reproduce your problem with Broker_Location or the other addons. Maybe it was a problem with an other addon e.g. a tooltip addon.
