ChocolateBar (Broker Display)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v3/13
by: yess [More]

ChocolateBar is a sweet display addon for broker plugins
Basically its a Titan-panel or Fubar replacement.

Any data broker addon you have will be put on a pice of chocolate and together they create a chocolate bar on the top of your screen.

Main Features

* Easy config, simply drag some chocolate and drop points will show. The idea is to easily get rid of a plugin or disable the text. See pics.
* Load-on-demand options, and small memory footprint.* Multiple bars - top or bottom as many as you want.
* Move bars anywhere you want.
* More Chocolate - a broker plugin to show a second bar that will autohide again. Great for launchers or other plugins you don't need visible all the time
* Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom

Options for:
* Show bars on mouse over only
* Hide bars in combat
* Set a fixed width for any plugin
* Change icon size
* Change textures, colours and a lot more...

Where to get more chocolate?

.)WoWInterface

Usage

Right click the panel
or type "/chocolatebar" to open the options menu.
You can also go to the great Blizz addons menu if you like
windows that cant be moved or resized...

You miss a feature or had to much chocolate, please let me know. I look forward to your feedback.

Chocolate bar Textures.

I have been using cb for while now and love this addon. I used to have mor options for bar textures and now they are gone. Are there any plans on making new textures? Or is there a separate file that I need to download for more options? Thanks.

You can do that with the latest alpha version from wowace: http://www.wowace.com/addons/chocolatebar/files/

With this version you also can move a bar anywhere you want.
I finally decided to add the options to move bars freely because almost all code I had to add for this went into the options.lua and this will be moved into an load on demand module anyway.

This is supposed to extend across the screen. You can change the scale (Right click on bar> Go to look and feel> adjust bar size) If you do this you will have to change the font size separately via fonts and textures.

I'd love a built-in option for the micromenu - and the ability to increase the height of ChocolateBar a bit. In your copious spare time, of course
Try Lonny_broker_micromenu or Broker_micromenu, they are both excellent

Look and Feel

Either I am blind or Yess was bored and dropped in a few surprises for us. I just noticed them after uploading 1.9.6


Smedeley
setting the background transparent so you only see the text/icons.
Right click on bar> Go to look and feel> fonts and textures > right click bar color box and move slider to -

Disable in combat

Thanks for Chocolate Bar and thanks for keeping the overhead low.

If you want that sort of feature, try Fortress.

QFT.

really love wot you've done, minimalist yet effective, and having found Skinner was preventing me from seeing the full configuration options I've now adjusted the hieght too!

Great job, really makes my day when a addon works with minimal fuss from me and does its job well!

Yess, I did not see if there was a way to hide in combat. I do not have an issue with it up there all the time, I was just going to try it out if that was an option.
So far so good otherwise. I recommend it all the time.

Display Options

I'm a new user and I'm loving this broker display.

I just have a small suggestion that could hopefully be added. I'd like it to be able to hide bars to the top or bottom and dynamically move other bars. For example, let's say I have bar1 on top of the screen and bar2 just beneath it, I'd like to be able to autohide bar1 and only appear when I mouseover to the top of the screen, but I want bar2 to move to the very top of the screen while bar1 is hidden.

Keep up the great work.

Talking Re: Re: I also switched from FuBar...

Switched from FuBar, I have tried several broker displays (all of them, I think). ChocolateBar is by far the best I have tried

@Mook: thanks for the tip about Lonny Micro Menu. PicoButtons works nicely with makerocketgonow, but .....

I really didn't care for picoButtons, the size was just too ginormous across the bar.

I've been using Lonny Micro Menu instead and loving it - basically puts a single icon on your Chocolate bar, if you right-click the icon it drops down a full list of the normal menu items.

Can find it here:
