About 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.
Basically its a Titan-panel or Fubar replacement.
Example Bar:
![]()
You can get the plugins in this example from: Broker Starter Pack
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 have made an addon pack with ChocolateBar and a selection of plugins that should cover your basic needs:
Broker Starter Pack
Data Broker category on Curse
Data Broker category on WoWInterface
Updated list
Usage
Right click the bar or type "/chocolatebar" to open the options menu.
You can help with the localization, just go to:
http://www.wowace.com/projects/chocolatebar/localization/
You miss a feature or found a bug? I look forward to your feedback.

I'm getting a SetPoint Error and not sure if I should be posting a ticket for Chocolate or the named addons (involved in the SetPoint function). Who should I be directing this too?

pls update this addon, its just the best broker display
Updated
Thanks a lot! It's indeed the best broker display ^_^
Want to know if this is being upgraded to work with WoD, tried it in the Beta and it does not work.
Really have enjoyed using it since Fubar stopped working in Cata , hate to have to find a replacement since I got used to it and really enjoy it.
Let me clearify this, it shows up in WoD beta, and lets you go into Interface to configure it, but when you try to arrange the item sjhowing on the bar and click on one it disappears until you reload UI . It will not let me arrange the items shosing.
Updated. Create a ticket if you still have any problems.
I installed Bazooka as a replacement for the moment. Have to set up some stuff again, and things default to opposite sides of the bar, but at least it is working.
I agree one hundred percent. It royally reduces clutter on the game screen
I fixed that problem.
Got this bug while seting up for the first time:
LeilaUI
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info17709-LeilaUIv3.html
Aurora: Missing Textures
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=19980
Donno what iam doing wrong. but I can´t get it and show the clock in the bar. Can´t find a option to turn it on
Is it not possible to show the clock there ( it´s on in the screenshot )
