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.

Posted Oct 15, 2020I just re-installed a fresh copy of WoW and downloaded Chocolate Bar. I see the name in the Interface but /chocolatebar doesn't work when I type it into chat. I opened the chocolatebar.lua file and all I see is 19 lines of text. I have re-installed multiple time with no luck.
ChocolateBarDB = { ["addonVersion"] = "v3.3.5", ["profileKeys"] = { ["Hurtlocker - Korgath"] = "Default", }, ["profiles"] = { ["Default"] = { ["fixedStrata"] = true, ["objSettings"] = { ["BugSack"] = { ["barName"] = "ChocolateBar1", }, }, }, }, } CB_PlayedTime = nil-

That is the settings file under the WTF folder.
You need to make the changes in the Interface\AddOns\ChocolateBar folder.

Mouseovers on LDB items don't seem to work. Does something else need to be changed also?
Edit: Correction, you can't drag to rearrange items inside the bar. Once you try to drag them, THEN mouseovers break until you /reloadui.

No, doesn't work at all. Can it be hardware dependent? Motherboard, cpu, graphic card (I have no clue). Or Windows version or....

this fix did not fix chocolatebar.
I did do the fix for Bazooka and that fix worked but not this one.

This is the best working version of it for now, mouseover tooltips work, dragging/moving icons work. There might be issues I haven't discovered during gameplay yet.
All it is is doing the fix mentioned in my previous post, but to all `CreateFrame` calls in the script.

Ty postin this. Does it push the rest of the interface down for you?
The "buffs" like the mounted state, what weekly bonus is ongoing etc won't get pushed down to me so they actually overlap the bar. :/

Haven't checked, I have bar at bottom and my UI is designed around that.
Noticed some LDB brokers don't work, in the cases I checked it's the broker that's broken not ChocolateBar however.
Some displays can't be moved/crashes the bar when attempted to move.
I think alot of addons need updates for SL :)

Posted Oct 16, 2020I was able to get this version working by taking " ChocolateBar-3.4.zip" from its releases section, then pasting in the libs from the 3.3.5 version that's on CurseForge. It doesnt' seem 100% correct; some of my old config is missing. But mouseovers and clicks and stuff seem to work.
Hopefully the owner of the project can integrate those fixes and post a proper release to CurseForge soon.
