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?

You miss a feature or found a bug? I look forward to your feedback.
These dont seem to be hiding during pet battles. It may be a conflict with ElvUI but it would be nice to see a fix.
In reply to Fostot:
I don't have ElvUI, and I am having the same problem. I tried it with only ChocolateBar as the only addon that loads and still no hiding during pet battles.
In reply to Fostot:
I was just looking at this, and for some reason in a commit back in August he commented out the two EVENTS that allowed him to detect that a Pet Battle has started and ended. I just uncommented the two lines (search for OnPetBattleOpen and uncomment both lines that are commented out), and it seems to be working fine for me. I wanted to update Jostle to fix it, but the PetBattleFrames aren't very friendly or easy to move (I also noted that the addon no longer uses LibJostle-3.0 and instead has included it's own forked copy, odd)

Who you mean with he? You mean she :)
I am not sure why that was commented out. Maybe I made a mistake while porting it to classic.
The lib was forked because of disagreements on how to handle the vehicle ui issues.
I am not playing currently but I can fix the pet battle issue later today.
request feature - Background Opacity option
Is their any way to config each bar individually so i can have a different size / background on each bar?
v3.3.3 & v3.3.4 Chocolate Bar has recently caused my class colors to stop working in other addons. Pitbull, Omen Skada for example.
I reloaded 3.2.4 for the time being.
The bar is not hiding in pet battles even though the option is ticked in the options menu.
I tried this addon in WOW Classic, but it doesn't apear. I see the addon under "Interface > Addons", but there is nothing to configure.
Can anybody help me?
Background transparency cannot be saved. After next login or reload, the background is reset to the default.
V1.13.2
thank you very much for classic compatititittitibility!!!!!
v3.3.3
--add an option to change the color of labels
--fix no text for launchers
--reset default gap to 7
Not sure how curseforge works, but as you only have one version of the addon on the site, people using the desktop app to search for addon for wow classic won't find Chocolatebar even though it works with classic.
In reply to ShodanDelacroix:
Thanks, I made a version with the classic toc just to advertise it. Just keep in mind that the versions are the same.
My experience pretty much as Vis_wowi linked below.
From what I can figure out the primary issue is the gap setting default and secondary the "show text" options for some plugins are bugged/broken/changed.
1/ After the update it looks like the default gap changed to 30, creating the massive gap issues most are struggling with. If I set my gap setting to 7 that fixes that issue.
2/ I've noticed a few plugins seem to not be displaying the "show text" option the same as they did before, for example I have three playing up - DBM, Rematch and Altoholic. Whereas previously the "show text" for these had the clickable addon name, now they only have a colon : symbol. I need to turn on Labels to get the addon name to show up and then disable show text to remove the colon : smybol. This wasn't happening in the previous version.
3/ Related to the above #2, the font colour for the new labels doesn't match the font text colour selected.
Hope that information helps! Thank you :)
In reply to nick_nullafy:
Thanks that helps :)
I have changed the default setting for the gap from 7 to 30. But I did not know that it will affect current installations.
Ah I think I know what the issue is with the the plugins you mention. I really should install more mods again for testing CB. I have moved to a new computer recently and I only have a few mods/plugins.
Yeah I forgot to add the color option for the labels.
Normally I would not have release it that fast but I had to stop mid development and then later classic was released.
In reply to miarella:
Appreciate the update - my favourite broker display addon by far!
I think the reason the default gap was an issue (at least for me) when I checked the ChocolateBar SavedVariable from before the update it didn't have a gap setting, so would guess my install was just using whatever the default was which is why the change was picked up.
Thanks again =)
Here's a visual to what I think most, myself included, may be experiencing. First screenshot is after 3.3.2 installed. Second screenshot is with 3.2.4 installed.

Yeah 3.3.1 is a MESS, back to 3.2.4 for now. Glad I took a backup before I upgraded.
In reply to zaph0n:
You can always download the older version from the site.
I have added support for the label. I can make the show label disabled by default.
