ChocolateBar Broker Display

Table of Contents

ChocolateBar will create a bar on top or bottom of your screen where other addons called broker plugins can display stuff like your fps.

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?

Search for broker on CurseForge

Updated list by tekkub on Github (last update April 2021)

Usage

Right click the bar or type "/chocolatebar" to open the options menu.

In reply to Daeveren:

mostly works well for me but i have yet to figure out how to change the height of the bars to account for the larger font i need to use. what i think should logically change the height (bar size) only increase the font to not fit into the bar.

if anyone can help - thanks in advance

@miarenn i had to make 2 changes to fix the addon for classic
in Core.lua

    if WOW_PROJECT_ID ~= WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC then

        self:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_OPENING_START","OnPetBattleOpen")

        self:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_CLOSE","OnPetBattleOver")

    end

in CB_PlayedTime.lua

    local maxLevel = (WOW_PROJECT_ID == WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC) and 60 or GetMaxLevelForPlayerExpansion()

    if UnitLevel("player") == maxLevel then

also while looking at CB_PlayedTime.lua, you should make formatTime function local and move it up in the file

Issue has been posted a day or so ago.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chocolatebar/issues/92

I have a feeling that Classic version gets no testing before packaging a release.

It's happened before that errors slip into release packages that would be apparent on first load of the game.
