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
- Easy setup, install & go!
- Multiple bars - top or bottom as many as you want.
- Left, right and center alignment.
- Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom.
- Easy config, simply drag a plugin and drop points will show. The idea is to easily disable a plugin or toggle its text.
- Load-on-demand options, and small memory footprint.
- More Chocolate - a broker plugin to show a bar that will autohide again. Great for launchers or other plugins you don't need visible all the time:)
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 Jun 24, 2010--For those that are here as they're alt-tabbing from game. Quick fix for the icons is to disable/enable one and the rest will pop back. They will disappear again if you /RL or log. So download the LibJostle r50 from the link below when you can.

This error causes the option to move Blizzard's frames down to not work.
Thanks.

Posted Feb 20, 2010At some point I got a bar into a state where resizing the font only resized some textual elements, but I'm having trouble replicating this -- it was after making a bunch of configuration changes.

Posted Jan 26, 2010Option to move bars anywhere you want.
Option to set the icon size.
Moved options to a separate load on demand module.
Some minor things and bug fixes.
