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?

I can't move any of my data feeds. I get an error about a backdrop. Is anyone else having trouble moving data feeds?
In reply to toychristopher:
same. it's been broken since the update in october and there is an issue posted about it. i sure hope this addon isn't abandoned. :(
@mairenn, your "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" doesn't actually hide the bars during a pet battle 😄. Can you help us out with a fix for that, makes it hard for me to see what abilities are stronger/weaker in my pet battles.
In reply to Fostot:
The fix for the "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" issue is actually uncommenting line 156 and 157 in core.lua. Source for this was https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chocolatebar?comment=413
Still waiting for a fix that buff frames get pushed down again instead of overlapping the bar. Don't see a reason why I should install diff addons to do that if ChocolateBar was used to do that by it's own.
Hello I'm having a problem when after exiting a vehicle UI, I can't interact with my action bars and by top and bottom Chocolate bars do not display any plug ins. Reloading UI sets it back to normal.
OK I did a fix myself before this v3.6.3 update and there was added features like the item level and character played time displayed on the chocolatebar. Those are now gone. WHY? I loved those and want them back! How do I get those back without reverting to my fix so I can keep receiving your updates?
In reply to Khedrak:
Check the ChocolateBar toc and add remove the # before the line of the plugin you want back.

Thank you
Having the option in game like all the other addons plugins where we can turn them on or off would be so much better. Because if its updated here again I'll have to do that all over again.
In reply to Khedrak:
The thing is I added them by mistake as I felt they are not ready
In reply to Forge_User_73589814:
It actually did that automatically, but yes I did.
::Edit::
I just found it. It was LibSharedMedia-3.0 which wasn't installed.
In reply to Maerdred:
Ah nice! Which specific addon did you have to install? (link, if possible)
I've fixed that using Dominos and Dominos_Auras (the later does work with 9.01).
Why is the latest version (3.6.2 as of now) still not showing up on Curse?
In reply to minniegarfeeld:
I'm having the same issue. The buff frame is slightly overlapping with the chocolate bar frame.
In reply to Dranni21312:
Yes, me too!
In reply to ifilgud:
i found a small addon called basic buffs that lets you move the frame
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but just logged on for 1st time in a few weeks and I noticed my Chocolate bar is no longer visible. When I go to add on's its listed but nothing comes up when I tab onto it.. When I do a /chocolatebar nothing happens either.. Is there an update to this
In reply to pippett1:
Author has made an update (post below you) but doesn't seem to be appearing on CurseForge yet as far as I can see.
Further down the comments you can see some manual edits you can make to the LUA files to get it working with 9.0.1
I made the release. Thanks for the patience ;)
