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 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?

Posted Aug 14, 2016The update won't load for me either. How do I drop back to the older version v2.47? Thank you for help with this. Dania

Posted Aug 14, 2016As with Tanaas, I found that the addon didn't load. I removed the others, uninstalled and reinstalled (didn't work for me), stepped back to v2.47 (which worked) and then forward again to 3.0, but could not make 3.0 work.
I like the addon, but will stick with 2.47 for the moment and look forward to further updates.

Posted Aug 14, 2016Just updated to 3.0. The addon doesn't load. I turned off all other mods and it doesn't show up in the interface options or respond to /chocolatebar
Hmm.. just uninstalled and reinstalled it and it works now. Maybe an interaction with Curse Client.

Posted Aug 2, 2016Is anyone having functionality issues with chocolate bar + Move Anything? I seem to have pinpointed my problems down to that, probably has something to do with moving the minimap around which causes the bar to become unresponsive.

Posted Jul 23, 2016Since the Legion prepatch, my UI (buffs and enemy portrait) doesn't automatically shift to accommodate the chocolate bar I have at the top of my screen. Things DO shift into place properly when I use /reload ui, but I now have to do that manually after every loading screen (hearthing, taking a portal, zoning in or out of an instance, etc) for my buffs and enemy portrait to shift down a little as to not be partially hidden by the chocolate bar. My portrait seems to stay in the correct place.

Posted Jul 21, 2016Glad to see this updated. This is hands down, the best broker display out there. I've been fiddling with others on beta and "settled" with another but have been waiting with bated breath for this to be updated.
Thanks for being awesome! :)
