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.
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.

Posted Sep 2, 2012Hi there,
Are you planning to add an option to hide bars when in a pet battle? There are a lot of game generated frames that come up during them that bars can cover up, so it would be really useful to be able to have a toggle for hiding bars during pet battles. Thanks.
Edit: this can be more or less accomplished with changing the frame strata to Background, but there are reasons people might not want to do that in general, depending on their layout.

Posted Sep 2, 2012I keep trying to add a top chocolate bar, and it disappears. I try deleting it and recreating it, and it MIGHT stay there a minute or two, then it's gone again. Sometimes it will show, then it will disappear. My bottom bar is just fine - no problems.....
nvm...what seems to have happend is that "morechocolate" turned itself on and stole the upper bar for some strange reason. I set it to none and it's ok again.

Posted Sep 1, 2012This should work again with the latest version 2.2.6. If not check if you have set "Adjust Blizzard Frames" under Look and Feel of the ChocolateBar settings.

Posted Sep 2, 2012Thanks for this tip. The buffs are moved down, but the minimap still isn't. However, I can live with that.

Posted Sep 5, 2012I had the same problem with the minimap not moving. However, when I deactivated all other addons except ChocolateBar and one broker plugin, the minimap did move. I added all the others back bit by bit and noticed that in my case it was Broker_Location that stopped the minimap from moving.

Posted Sep 5, 2012After a bit more checking I noticed that this happens when 'Show location above minimap' is unchecked in the Broker_Location settings. When I check that option, the minimap moves even with Broker_Location active.

Posted Sep 1, 2012Before 5.0.4, Minimap and Buffs were moved a bit down, so they would not overlap with Chocolate Bar at the top of the screen. This seems to me missing (for me at least), as of 5.0.4.

Posted Aug 28, 2012OK 2.2.6 should fix the LibJostle errors. Sorry for the fuss, I made an update of the lib weeks ago but the new version did not make it into the release of ChocolateBar.

Posted Jun 30, 2012Seems to work partially in MoP beta. Enabling autohide causes fps to drop to 1-3 fps. And the refresh loop in the addon causes a LUA error as follows:

Posted Mar 23, 2012Broker: TicketStatus addon doesnt seems to work with chocolate addon. It works with bazooka. Is it a fault in TicketStatus or in chocolate?

Here is how the plugin and its tooltip appear on the Bazooka display addon: http://i.imgur.com/qSgUB.jpg

Posted Feb 25, 2012How do I remove the currency (gold) display for a character that no longer exists? I cannot find an option under Gold, nor can I find entries in the .lua file in the SavedVariables folder.
Thanks
