ChocolateBar will create a bar on top or bottom of your screen where other addons called broker plugins can display stuff like your fps.

Example Bar:

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?

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.

Has anyone else noticed that anything on the right side of the bar can't be clicked? The icon that is in the far right can be clicked if you move your mouse completely to the corner where you can't see your cursor anymore. But then its just that one icon can be clicked. My husband is having the same issue and he doesn't have nearly as many addons as I do, or a UI addon.

Yes I have noticed the same thing, I have a clock addon on the most right side which can be shift-right clicked on to see the calendar. To do it now the mouse arrow needs to be at the very far right of the bar which I thought was odd, (never did that before) it seems to be a bit off. The addons to the left of the clock addon do not work when clicked on unless I move them to the center or the left side.

Also when right clicking on the right side of the bar when no addons are there to get into the options of chocolatebar does not work, although it does work on the center and left side.

It doesn't matter which addon is over on the right side. The addons to the immediate left do not work.

I do not have this problem. Can you try with only CB enabled?

Testing this out from scratch on another character and I am able to right click to get options on the right side of the bar. I added in the clock addon as well on the right side and it is working as it should. I will continue to search for the offending addon that I have added to broker that may be causing the problem. It was just odd that it just started occurring with the recent updates to ChocolateBar.

**Update**

The problem was the Moveanthing addon with the MiniMap and the zone text (which I have hidden) covering up a part of the bar on the right side. Seems like some things have been reset with 8.0.1 and Moveanything, it has been kind of wonky even with some fixes here and there. Just had to move down the minimap frame that was covering the right side of the bar.

In either case, this obviously isn't an issue with ChocolateBar, just something I missed. Thanks for the suggestion to test out what addon may be causing the problem. This may help out jetshadowfire as well.

Thank you, friend, for all your hard work on CB.

I still have that little annoying bug... I have CB Bar Texture set, but I always get a black background. Certainly not a huge ordeal, but I was wondering if the loading order of CB might cause this? If the textures aren't quite loaded yet?

Hello, love the addon!

I noticed that when I change (add right action bar, remove right action bar) from the interface settings, the action bars aren't rendering correctly. A /reload fixes the issue however.

Thanks

This should now be fixed if you do not have a bar at the bottom. If you have one there, a /reload is the workaround for now.

I had to jump back to a previous version. The current release version of Chocolate Bar is not making my action bar useless (keybind and stack count numbers hidden, bar unresponsive to clicks) and is even blocking chat i type from from showing up in my window! Again no error messages popping up, and a UI reload would fix the issue temporarily, but I can't do that after (or during) each combat.The bouncing action bar was much less annoying, so I reinstalled the previous version.

I have the same issue. It happens everytime I leave a vehicular UI. The new center button bars no longer show numbers and are no longer clickable, no tooltips either. Side button bars work normally. Only a /reload fixes it.

Thanks that helped. I made a quick fix for the vehicular UI and hope that solves it.

Hi Yess,

I have tried the newest version and it still has the same problem and is anytime you go in and out of a vehicle or zone in and out of somewhere. I hope that also helps you find the problem quicker and does the same thing on all classes and all races that I have Ally as well EN-US Server Oceanic, Thanks again for your awesome work and add-on :).

Mindlessgalaxy

Playing at the moment and doesn't seem to be playing up at all anymore? Not sure why, although I will let you know if it still is or isn't playing up, but as I said looking really good so far :).

Hi Again,

It is definitely working well now, which is awesome. Put a note on the ticket for you to read if you want more information, but I think this issue is now more than resolved. Thanks for all your help and sorry to hassle you with these annoying little bugs.

Ok another update re this problem. Works all the time except LightForged Warframe on Argus. Plays up every time straight after and just do a reload and all is ok. I do use lower bar and top as well. I really hope this helps out a bit? Sorry Yess I didn't know until I just tried a few times tonight and it is the only thing I have trouble with. Although I haven't disabled any add-ons at all and may not be yours just so you know I haven't had that chance and if no one else is complaining then just my bad luck... Thanks heaps again.

I'm still having issues with vehicle UI making any mouse clicks on the action bar useless. Any vehicle seems to do it and it doesn't affect keybind function of those action bars, only mouse clicks. Also sometimes black vertical bars will appear through the chocolate bar at the bottom of the screen.

I have the latest version, but it doesn't seem to be doing it now. I may have been mistaken in the version and updated between times. Looks like everything's good now! Thanks!
