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.

This does not work. it only allowed chocolatebar to show up and shows the addons names, no highlight, no dropdowns for each addon, no moving them on the bar, basically nothing works.

Posted Aug 7, 2020Hello!
At some point I was able to add in "gaps" or "spaces" that were invisible into the bar so I could group things easier. I have no idea how I did that but the option is no longer there. Was that an additional plugin?
Thanks!
Nancy

Posted May 1, 2020Is there a way to switch profiles from a macro? I've tried the method used by some other Ace3 stuff (I think) but it didn't work:
/script ChocolateBar.db:SetProfile("profile_name")
I'm not exactly an LUA coder, but I really like using this addon so thanks for any help you can give.

Posted Oct 21, 2019These dont seem to be hiding during pet battles. It may be a conflict with ElvUI but it would be nice to see a fix.

I don't have ElvUI, and I am having the same problem. I tried it with only ChocolateBar as the only addon that loads and still no hiding during pet battles.

I was just looking at this, and for some reason in a commit back in August he commented out the two EVENTS that allowed him to detect that a Pet Battle has started and ended. I just uncommented the two lines (search for OnPetBattleOpen and uncomment both lines that are commented out), and it seems to be working fine for me. I wanted to update Jostle to fix it, but the PetBattleFrames aren't very friendly or easy to move (I also noted that the addon no longer uses LibJostle-3.0 and instead has included it's own forked copy, odd)

I am not sure why that was commented out. Maybe I made a mistake while porting it to classic.
The lib was forked because of disagreements on how to handle the vehicle ui issues.
I am not playing currently but I can fix the pet battle issue later today.

Posted Sep 8, 2019v3.3.3 & v3.3.4 Chocolate Bar has recently caused my class colors to stop working in other addons. Pitbull, Omen Skada for example.
I reloaded 3.2.4 for the time being.

Posted Sep 2, 2019Not sure how curseforge works, but as you only have one version of the addon on the site, people using the desktop app to search for addon for wow classic won't find Chocolatebar even though it works with classic.

Thanks, I made a version with the classic toc just to advertise it. Just keep in mind that the versions are the same.
