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.

Issue has been posted a day or so ago.

I have a feeling that Classic version gets no testing before packaging a release.
It's happened before that errors slip into release packages that would be apparent on first load of the game.

Posted Jan 23, 2021Warning!
If you enable bottom bar with this addon, it crashes your UI when you use vehicles.Reloading UI solves it but it happens every time you use vehicles or Demon Hunter talents like Rain from Above.
So, if you somehow encounter this problem, probably this addon is your culprit too, or whatever subroutine coding etc. it's using.
If the author also sees this, I hope you can fix this problem. After all this was my favourite panel addon, but since it was quite problematic I had to move to Titan Panel, it works without any problems.

Posted Jan 25, 2021In reply to Aernath:
I can confirm this. I've been trying to figure out what addon I was using that was causing my UI/ability bars to quit functioning after exiting a "vehicle" and was unfortunately unable to test all my addons for this bug because I did not have access to a vehicle that I could drop in and out of constantly while enabling and disabling all my addons. After seeing Aernath's post I tested it on my end by disabling ChocolateBar on one of my characters and did not run into any issues with my ability bar malfunctioning through all the vehicle type dailies I completed today. Hoping for a fix as soon as possible. Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this :)
Should not work same as TitanPanel. If you leave a vehicle but are still in combat the bottom bar will not be adjusted back until combat ends.

Posted Dec 12, 2020@mairenn, your "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" doesn't actually hide the bars during a pet battle 😄. Can you help us out with a fix for that, makes it hard for me to see what abilities are stronger/weaker in my pet battles.

The fix for the "Hide Bars During Pet Battle" issue is actually uncommenting line 156 and 157 in core.lua. Source for this was https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chocolatebar?comment=413

Posted Nov 3, 2020Still waiting for a fix that buff frames get pushed down again instead of overlapping the bar. Don't see a reason why I should install diff addons to do that if ChocolateBar was used to do that by it's own.

Posted Nov 1, 2020Hello I'm having a problem when after exiting a vehicle UI, I can't interact with my action bars and by top and bottom Chocolate bars do not display any plug ins. Reloading UI sets it back to normal.
