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.

Are you using a minimap addon such as Sexymap? If so, there is an option for you to go in and remove minimap buttons.

I think this addon cna be a nice replacement for FuBar, yet I have an annoying issue: all the FuBar plugins have their icon shown around the minimap (and doubled, if I chose into the plugin own settings to show it).
Whether I disable or activate a plugin inside chocolate, I still see its icon around the minimap. Imagine having like 20 plugins and you get the picture.
Any workaround for not having the plugin icons showing around the minimap?

I wanted to test ChocolateBar Broker Display instead of FuBar but if I want to use different addons with ChocolateBar I will get a lua error and can't use ChocolateBar.

Example: I have activated only ArkInventory v3.02.57 and ChocolateBar v2.0.6 and I am getting the following Error. It seems that ChocolateBar is using the Ace3-AceDB of ArkInventory. If I deactivate ArkInventory ChocolateBar (by the way it looks good!) I can reproduce the same error with ChocolateBar and other AddOns but if I am using the other Addons together I won't have the problems.

May be somebody has a good idea!?

it worked for awhile with the new load v2.0.6, but when I logged onto another character, then logged back in, Bar2 was gone again.

it works with one bar, but when I try to put in a second bar one of them vanishes into thin air after a short time.

Buffs weren't being adjusted down. Updating Lib-Jostle fixed it.

Long time Titan user, but sometimes it does things that annoys me. I saw this one recommended via wow.com, but I was wondering about using/replacing titan plugins, and using top and bottom bars. I think what makes me nervous about switching is losing the info the plugins provides
