Arcana
Arcana (formerly ChocolateBar) is a lightweight display for broker plugins that lets you organize and observe information on flexible panels. An alternative to TitanPanel, Bazooka and other broker displays.
The Quel'dorei became scattered across the world. To preserve the fragments of arcana they gathered from many sources, they maintain observatories where this knowledge is kept in careful order.
Main Features
- Multiple bars - top/bottom or anywhere as many as you want.
- Decoloring of plugin text and stripping in text icons for a cleaner ui.
- Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom.
- To qucikly get to a plugins option drag a plugin over the open option drop point.
- More Arcane - a plugin toggle show/hide another bar.
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?
Search for plugins in the category data-broker on CurseForge.
Usage
Right click the bar or type "/arcana" to open the options menu.

Posted Jun 24, 2015Don't update to 2.4.4 - it does not work, the addon is not even listed in Installed addons in Interface menu. Previous version, 2.4.3. works just fine.

Posted Apr 3, 2015Any chance of providing an option to allow folks to move the clock from the minimap (for me: where the clock is obscured by actionbars) to the display bar?

Posted Nov 10, 2014I'm getting a SetPoint Error and not sure if I should be posting a ticket for Chocolate or the named addons (involved in the SetPoint function). Who should I be directing this too?

Posted Oct 13, 2014Want to know if this is being upgraded to work with WoD, tried it in the Beta and it does not work.
Really have enjoyed using it since Fubar stopped working in Cata , hate to have to find a replacement since I got used to it and really enjoy it.
Let me clearify this, it shows up in WoD beta, and lets you go into Interface to configure it, but when you try to arrange the item sjhowing on the bar and click on one it disappears until you reload UI . It will not let me arrange the items shosing.

Posted Oct 15, 2014I installed Bazooka as a replacement for the moment. Have to set up some stuff again, and things default to opposite sides of the bar, but at least it is working.
