ChocolateBar (Broker Display)

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.

Apparently FuBar halfway died while I wasn't playing Tried Fortress but one of the things I liked best about FuBar was how it created a bar all the way across the top and stuff just attached - which ChocolateBar does beautifully! So *thank you*! The only addon I've looked and looked for but can't find is one to add the micromenu to Chocolate - there's a fairly recent FuBar edition but when I tried using FuBar2Broker etc it didn't work. 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

Once you have one plugin in the center others will stick to it on drag and drop the same way the plugin will stick to the left or right. But I may add the additional options, also the drag and drop could work better but thats a lot of work.

Awesome AddOn, really made my transition to LDB as painless as possible. Thanks for all your work on this!

Ya I agree here. Same for me. Once I understood WHAT the idea behind "LDB" was, then I made the jump. The Chocolate Bar setup was relatively quick and easy to manipulate. I think the basics are covered here for those that need any tips.

As far as trying to justify your icons to left or right, just drag them to where you want. Say you drag one to the left, I drag it to the FAR left and drop it in front of the others on that side, this seems to justify it. You can move it around on the left side after you have done that. I agree that an option justify to left or right would improve this, but for now that is what I do.

It would be possible for some tooltips but not for all of them because some plugins like Ara Guild create their own tooltips.

Thanks!

Added to the latest alpha version. http://www.wowace.com/projects/chocolatebar/files/

You can find text coloring by searching for pipe-c "|c" or "\124c" in the .lua files.

The first two characters after pipe-c are the alpha level, followed by red, green and blue in hex. "|r" – Restores color to normal

Example:
"I |cffff0000like|r chocolate."
The word "like" will be colored red.

You can try this ingame using /124 for the pipe:
/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("I \124cffff0000like\124r chocolate")

More info: http://www.wowwiki.com/UI_Escape_Sequences

Hope that helps

That way most of the plugins will be your desired color.

But overwriting some custom text coloring of a plugin is a problem. ChocolateBar would have to scan the text of the plugin and remove any color tags on each text update. With allot plugins that update quite frequent like a fps display this would have a bad impact on the performance.

Is there a way to make all your plugin text a certain color? I am currently using FuBar but would love to switch but for some reason if the text isn't that golden yellow color my eyes skim right over it. If not, could it be possible to add a way to color all plugin text?

Thanks!

Sorry but I do not intend to add that, at least not in the near feature. If you want a more flexible display addon try fortress.
