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've been using ChocolateBar for a few years, but my favourite addon, Allplayed, is no longer showing on the bar. It worked great before the pre-patch started.
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=24819 is the version that I was using
Everything still works... except the Font Size.
Mildly annoying, since I had to untick the [UI Scale] option to fix the ENORMOUS BUTTONS on the Warband login screen and that messed up the size of my UI. I've gone through and resized everything... but this one addon's font size option seems broken.
Shame... but I can live with it.

I will look into it.
Works well! Thank you!
In reply to happiestboy: Thanks, I get my ChocolateBar back.
In reply to happiestboy: thank you~
For those who want it working again before an official update is out, there are six occurrences of GetAddOnMetadata -- three in Options.lua, two in Core.lua, and one in modules/MicroMenu/Options.lua. Adding "C_AddOns." (no quotes) before each of them to make C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata" will bring your chocolate bar back.
In reply to vttale: Perfect !! :)
In reply to vttale: Thank you, that seemed to work!

Thanks mate! Works a treat and is a simple Search & Replace.
Unfortuately today's wednesday update completely broke this addon for me. Hope you can get around it and fix. Patiently waiting.
Is there a plan to update (and fix the potential errors as described in the comments) for TWW?
I have created three issues on GitHub, with fixes. https://github.com/Kiatra/ChocolateBar/issues
Hello, on 11.0.2 the function "GetAddOnMetadata" will be removed, please replace it with C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata, else this addon will not work on TWW.

Please release a version for cata. It doesn't show when searching for addons.
I have finally added a module system to add some builtin plugins. These can be disabled and will not be loaded then.
Let me know if you have any issues.
Also I am currently playing SOD on Wild Growth EU -> Yessica, maintaining addons while rading or leveling is hard work, so any tips are higly appreciated :D
In reply to kiatra_: Horde or Alliance?
In reply to kiatra_: Tip incoming!! The Xpac awaits!
when enabling free positioning for bar #1 (in classic SoD), the cpu usage is really high according to the "addonusage" addon. (on other bars, this doesn't happen - regardless of the icons on the bar, other settings or even without any other addons.)
