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 Nov 5, 2011Hmm, displaying the tooltip on click is not possible because the plugins do something on a click/right click like open the character frame or open some options.
Maybe you should not put a bar so near to your spells. I just have one bar at the top and my spells are at the bottom of the screen.

Posted Oct 16, 2011Thanks for the great addon, works realy well. If I have multiple bars, is it possible to hide only one bar during combat? I have a bunch of addons that I dont need during combat, but others would be useful to see. Thanks.

Posted Sep 24, 2011I have two lines of bars at the top of my screen next to each other.
I have two broker displays in the centre of the top bar, and one broker display in the centre of the bottom bar.
The two are always aligning on the left of the centre together rather than independently centre.
Screenshots:
How the top bar should look (and does when I re-centre the items):

How the bar always snaps after one of them updates:

This started happening quite some time ago. The last update where this worked correctly was 2.0.9. I used to just not update the addon, but I figured I'd let you know this was happening.

Posted Apr 18, 2011I'm quite fond of this addon, but there are a few things that bothers me!
Firstly, changing the bar height also changes the font size. That's not intended, is it?
What about adding possibility to set an absolute (rather than relative) icon size?
A setting for text offset from the icon?
Custom tooltip anchoring?
Plugin text does not seem to use the .label property of LDB feeds, is this intended? If it is, could there be an option to instead use the label?
Lastly, when I use an advanced bar texture, its height seems to be about half of what's expected.

Posted Apr 18, 2011"changing the bar height also changes the font size. That's not intended, is it? "
Actually it is intended. I think it's what most people want when they change the bar size. You can adjust the font size after setting the bar height.
"What about adding possibility to set an absolute (rather than relative) icon size?"
I could add that. Do you also want the icon bigger than the bar?
"A setting for text offset from the icon?"
That's an easy one. I will add this.
"Custom tooltip anchoring?"
That's a problem because some tooltip's do the anchoring themselves. What would you change about the anchoring?
"could there be an option to instead use the label?"
I'm thinking about label support.
"Lastly, when I use an advanced bar texture, its height seems to be about half of what's expected."
The advanced textures must be tweaked with the tile setting. This will change the height of the textures.

Posted Apr 20, 2011I would personally not need the icons the be bigger than the bar.
Tooltips I would probably anchor topleft to bottomleft.
I've just switched from Titan Panel after a very long time, and can't help but compare and miss a few things from it. :)

Posted Feb 24, 2011i do have one issue, on my mage only it seems that even with the "adjust blizzard frames set" checked it refuses to move my player unit frame down like all the others, im not sure if this is an issue with all permanent pet classes because it seems to work on all my other alts that do not have permanent pets. thank you in advance if you can fix this.
