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?
Search for broker on CurseForge

Posted Sep 23, 2021I posted this in the "issues" tab but wanted to list it here also.
I have the problem that the bottom action bar moves down "back to it's original location" during combat and after taking a flight master.
I have a top and bottom ChocolateBar.
The bottom action bar moves "back up" after leaving combat or when the flight is finished.
I have the same issue with Bazooka and Titan Panel, so I'm not sure there is anything to be done.
I like ChocholateBar over Titan panel for several reasons including: Titan Panel is thowing a lua error if I have a hunter or warlock pet out when I take a flight path. ChocholateBar does not have that problem.
Another question: How can I make the fonts bigger? I tried using the "Fonts and Textures" but I don's see any change in the size.
thanks.

Posted Sep 22, 2021If the message "ChocolateBar debug: ChocolateBar ChocolateBar:IsRetail() true" on logon bugs anyone else, you can comment out the line below, in two places (lines 78 and 80) by placing double dashes ("--") in front of the lines. Like this:
-- ChocolateBar:Debug("ChocolateBar:IsRetail()", ChocolateBar:IsRetail())

Posted Jun 27, 2021Does anyone know of a fix for Drag and Drop not working? I see others have the same issue. Any time you try and move a plugin, the entire bar disappears and only fixes after reloading, but the plugins don't move.

Posted Jun 15, 2021CUrrently on Classic BC, drag and drop is broken. Its very inconsistent, maybe one in ten times i can make it work, but usually when you grab a module, it does the color highlighting for each section, but the module does not move, and then when you release the entire bar disappears until you reload UI. no obvious error is thrown for bugsack to catch. When I try and get a screenshot it just captures it missing already.

Posted Jun 9, 2021If you move the bar to the bottom of your screen and lock it a little bit of the bar disappears. From what I could see it won't happen in any other circumstances. If you place the bottom edge of your bar on the top edge of something like your minimap or chat window the little part doesn't disappear

Posted May 20, 2021In reply to Daeveren:
mostly works well for me but i have yet to figure out how to change the height of the bars to account for the larger font i need to use. what i think should logically change the height (bar size) only increase the font to not fit into the bar.
if anyone can help - thanks in advance
