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 Jan 7, 2011I have to report a small iussue that is happening with Broker_CPU Memory.
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/brokercpu.aspx
I have this iusse:
"If used without the LibQTip I find difficult to let tooltip disappears.
I tried to explain better: when I mouseover the ldb info (with chocolate bar last version)Broker_CPU opens the tooltip showing me my addons list.
Then I move the mouse from the ldb text but the tooltip remains open. The only way to close it is to mouseover anything else that opens another tooltip.
With LibQTip when I move out the mouse from ldb text the tooltip correctly disappears. "
and the author answer is:
"Hidding the GameTooltip is handled by the broker display addon not the plugin, it does not happens with ButtonBin and various others, I think you should report it to the chocolatebar developper, he most likely not implemented the data broker specifications correctly. Tell him BrokerCPU uses OnTooltipShow for the GameTooltip, LibQTip uses OnEnter/OnLeave
In BrokerCPU, I manage the procedure to hide the QTip, but for the GameTooltip, this job is passed to the LDB display and this for ALL broker plugin
TO resume this is a chocolate bar bug"
Is possible to check it ?
Thanks very much.

Posted Dec 18, 2010Fifteen seconds isn't always enough time if I'm rearranging icons or managing addons in the More Chocolate bar, and it would be nice to keep the bar open as long as we want via a "toggle" feature.
Thanks for the awesome LDB display addon, by the way!

Posted Oct 23, 2010Whether I disable or activate a plugin inside chocolate, I still see its icon around the minimap. Imagine having like 20 plugins and you get the picture.
Any workaround for not having the plugin icons showing around the minimap?

Posted Oct 19, 2010Example: I have activated only ArkInventory v3.02.57 and ChocolateBar v2.0.6 and I am getting the following Error. It seems that ChocolateBar is using the Ace3-AceDB of ArkInventory. If I deactivate ArkInventory ChocolateBar (by the way it looks good!) I can reproduce the same error with ChocolateBar and other AddOns but if I am using the other Addons together I won't have the problems.
May be somebody has a good idea!?
