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?

Will there be a possibility that this addon might be updated for Shadowlands?

Second this!
In reply to ixli:
I hope so too! I love ChocolateBar!
See above, there's a change to line 30:
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame",name,UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

This worked great. Thanks.
There seem to be many other changes:

In reply to spiralofhope:
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.
Hello!
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!

Is 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.
These dont seem to be hiding during pet battles. It may be a conflict with ElvUI but it would be nice to see a fix.
In reply to Fostot:
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.
In reply to Fostot:
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)
In reply to zaph0n:
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.
request feature - Background Opacity option
Is their any way to config each bar individually so i can have a different size / background on each bar?
v3.3.3 & 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.
The bar is not hiding in pet battles even though the option is ticked in the options menu.
I tried this addon in WOW Classic, but it doesn't apear. I see the addon under "Interface > Addons", but there is nothing to configure.
Can anybody help me?
Background transparency cannot be saved. After next login or reload, the background is reset to the default.
V1.13.2
thank you very much for classic compatititittitibility!!!!!
