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.

There's always 2 bars. I had to add one to put it on the bottom since it wouldn't move the top one, then when I deleted the extra one now all of my toons have 2 bars and it never saves after I delete the second.

Thanks for the Jostle suggestion. I fixed moving my buffs and put the icons back on lower bars.

--For those that are here as they're alt-tabbing from game. Quick fix for the icons is to disable/enable one and the rest will pop back. They will disappear again if you /RL or log. So download the LibJostle r50 from the link below when you can.

It seems all the errors/blank areas are coming from lib-jostle which seems to be out date with the patch changes.

I grabbed an "updated" one from the link below.

Thanks! This fixed the error (where the Blizzard frames were not being moved down).

I also had an error where Recap was not showing up on the bar and this fixed that problem also.

3.3.5 error:

Message: ...ns\ChocolateBar\libs\LibJostle-3.0\LibJostle-3.0.lua:90: hooksecurefunc(): FCF_UpdateCombatLogPosition is not a function
Time: 06/22/10 21:54:05
Count: 1
Stack: [C]: in function `hooksecurefunc'
...ns\ChocolateBar\libs\LibJostle-3.0\LibJostle-3.0.lua:90: in main chunk

This error causes the option to move Blizzard's frames down to not work.

Thanks.

Options -> Fonts and Textures -> Bar Color.

Click "Bar Color" and set the opaque with the right slider.

The border doesn't look good. It's not flush with the bar edge (visible in the first screenshot above), and it gets fuzzy when the bar is enlarged.

At some point I got a bar into a state where resizing the font only resized some textual elements, but I'm having trouble replicating this -- it was after making a bunch of configuration changes.

New in 2.0:

Option to move bars anywhere you want.
Option to set the icon size.
Moved options to a separate load on demand module.
Some minor things and bug fixes.
