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 7, 2026In reply to kiatra_: I noticed! I had reconfigured from scratch in last patch but this is a good step, especially since you went ahead with ChocolateBarDB -> ArcanaDB (which would have been my next point of feedback on code review. Well spotted!)
All seems well in the latest patch, though I've not put much mileage on it.

Posted Mar 6, 2026Description and metadata and all packages still reference Chocolatebar, causing sync conflicts in Curseforge. You will want to update at least description and package names as soon as possible to resolve.

Posted Mar 6, 2026In reply to kiatra_: Thanks! GitHub issue template needs a look (references to ChocolateBar). Also, ensure that metadata for saved profiles are capable of handling the rename (you may need to include or maintain a reference as a class in order to keep functionality for existing users - or create a simple "migrate settings" function for a few major versions)

Posted Feb 4, 2026on Chocolatebar plug-in “BagSync” was working properly even right after the pre-patch, but at some point it disappeared from the ChocolateBar plugin list. Is there a way to fix this?
