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.

Hey Yess,

Thanks for the great add-on. My comment today has to do with the text description above. The two links to the Broker Starter Pack don't appear to be working (takes me to the default curse mods page). Thoughts?

I have uninstalled & reinstalled, as Tanaas did, and Chocolate Bar still wont load. I am not able to access by using /chocolatebar, either. I really like this add on. Can anybody help?

The update won't load for me either. How do I drop back to the older version v2.47? Thank you for help with this. Dania

As with Tanaas, I found that the addon didn't load. I removed the others, uninstalled and reinstalled (didn't work for me), stepped back to v2.47 (which worked) and then forward again to 3.0, but could not make 3.0 work.

I like the addon, but will stick with 2.47 for the moment and look forward to further updates.

Just updated to 3.0. The addon doesn't load. I turned off all other mods and it doesn't show up in the interface options or respond to /chocolatebar

Hmm.. just uninstalled and reinstalled it and it works now. Maybe an interaction with Curse Client.

Just released version 3.0:

You can now create placeholders in the option dialog

Added an option to highlight a plugins position on the bar

Added an option to colorize all plugins during drag & drop.

Code cleanup & basic module support

Legion Beta:

Added an option to hide the Order Hall command bar

I also updated LibJostle to move the Order Hall command bar down when it is not hidden

Enjoy & report any issues you have :)

Is anyone having functionality issues with chocolate bar + Move Anything? I seem to have pinpointed my problems down to that, probably has something to do with moving the minimap around which causes the bar to become unresponsive.

Since the Legion prepatch, my UI (buffs and enemy portrait) doesn't automatically shift to accommodate the chocolate bar I have at the top of my screen. Things DO shift into place properly when I use /reload ui, but I now have to do that manually after every loading screen (hearthing, taking a portal, zoning in or out of an instance, etc) for my buffs and enemy portrait to shift down a little as to not be partially hidden by the chocolate bar. My portrait seems to stay in the correct place.

Also seeing issues with buffs + enemy portraits not shifting, especially after a zone.
