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 Mar 22, 2017Is there a planned update for 7.2 the addon is just fine all it needs is the interface # changed in LUA. It's very annoying to have to keep going into the addon files to change this everytime curse does an update to itself. It resets the addons to their original interface settings if they're not up to date.

Posted Mar 29, 2017I made the 7.2 update. I did not play for a while and missed the 7.1 update. In the future you can commit the toc update yourself if you want to, as I allow git commits from anyone.

Posted Mar 29, 2017I have one of every character and the same behavior is shown. I hide the order class bar and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it shows but hides all the information on it (e.g., no text next to the followers with #/#). Leaving the class hall and coming back just causes the same sort of behavior.

Posted Sep 2, 2016Made a ticket on the project site, but I'm not sure if you check it often so I'm also posting it here. The 'Hide Order Class Bar' setting only works for a short period of time. Another user, Dracula, suggested the following.

Posted Sep 5, 2016For just disabling, I'd think unregistering the event from UIParent would also be fine, instead of hooking
UIParent:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/blob/live/FrameXML/UIParent.lua#L1817-L1818

Posted Dec 9, 2016I'll check that, but I think I tried that and the event got registered again in some cases.

Posted Aug 16, 2016Hello Yess!
Thank you for that incredible addon, that I use for years now!
I have a problem with the texture of the background. I want the texture to be transparent. But after every reload it resets to the default values.
Can you please fix this?
Kind regards

Posted Aug 17, 2016Hmm strange it stays transparent for me even after a reload. Did you set the alpha at the texture color picker?

Posted Aug 16, 2016Hey Yess,
Thanks for the great add-on. My comment today has to do with the text description above. The two links to the Broker Starter Pack don't appear to be working (takes me to the default curse mods page). Thoughts?
