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.
How you can help

Posted Aug 14, 2024For those who want it working again before an official update is out, there are six occurrences of GetAddOnMetadata -- three in Options.lua, two in Core.lua, and one in modules/MicroMenu/Options.lua. Adding "C_AddOns." (no quotes) before each of them to make C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata" will bring your chocolate bar back.

Posted Feb 10, 2024I have finally added a module system to add some builtin plugins. These can be disabled and will not be loaded then.
Let me know if you have any issues.
Also I am currently playing SOD on Wild Growth EU -> Yessica, maintaining addons while rading or leveling is hard work, so any tips are higly appreciated :D

Posted Jan 14, 2024when enabling free positioning for bar #1 (in classic SoD), the cpu usage is really high according to the "addonusage" addon. (on other bars, this doesn't happen - regardless of the icons on the bar, other settings or even without any other addons.)
