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?

Usage

You miss a feature or found a bug? I look forward to your feedback.
Does 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.
In reply to cursesj:
In version 3.6.13 it's still working. I rolled back and won't update anytime soon.
CUrrently 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.
Ran into a cpl LUA errors i thought Id drop off for the creator.
Basically if i try n move anything on the bars all the bars disappear

While this works with TBC, add-on applications are unable to locate it. Would you please be so kind as to release a "TBC" version, so applications / people could find this wonderful add-on?
Hello. What do I need to change to stop getting debug messages about "IsRetail" on login? The retail client, of course. :)
In reply to Fringetastic:
I found them in Jostle.lua. Commented out lines 78 and 80 (by putting 2 dashes at the beginning of the lines).
If 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
Any update for TBC?
In 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
amey0
How do I get rid of this addon showing /played every time I login?
Getting error UnitInVehicle on line 135 in Jostle.lua every time I leave combat. Classic
Same there
In reply to Slivoss:
Should be fixed now :)
Sounds good, indeed ! Thanks !
@miarenn i had to make 2 changes to fix the addon for classic
in Core.lua
In reply to MrBudsz:
also while looking at CB_PlayedTime.lua, you should make formatTime function local and move it up in the file
In reply to MrBudsz:
Thanks, you can make pull requests on github in the future if you want :)
3.6.13 Classic and 3.6.12 Classic doesn't show up ingame after updating. 3.3.4 works
