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.

As Medlir said it should be fine once you restart the game.

Had the same situation. Seems to be because the TOC filename changed, so on in-game /reload it just sees it as no longer there to reload. A full close of the game and restarting it should pick it up, or did for me.

Every now and then when I play, the default UI overlaps with the bar:
(Forgive the oversaturation of the image, that's a side effect of taking a screenshot with HDR on)
Reloading UI sometimes fixes it though, so it's inconsistent why it does it. Sometimes it happens when zoning into an instance or sometimes just when logging in (like in this picture).
Sometimes I can fix it by toggling "Adjust Blizzard Frames" off then on again. For now, I think I'll just work around it by using Edit Mode to move everything down myself and turn this option off.

Thanks for this! Works perfectly!
It's always sad when an addon author abandons their years long, million downloads addon and is not even interested in checking their own addon page for issues.

After moving the last bracket down in jostle.lua, this fix resolved one of two issues I had.
I can now drag and move the broker plugins around Chocolate bar again, but unfortunately only ChocolateBar1's addons are visible at login.

ChocolateBar1 (bottom) is fine every time, but ChocolateBar2 (top) is always empty, and I have to untick/tick a a plugin to make the modules appear.
I tried created a third chocolate bar for testing and dragging the plugins there, but ChocolateBar3 experienced the same issue. I tried deleting ChocolateBar3, but it always comes back at login.
Only ChocolateBar1 works properly at login. All other bars appear empty after UI reload.

Turns out there were two or three plugins not showing up in ChocolateBar1 either. I just hadn't noticed.
However, I dragged some of the ones that DO appear everytime to ChocolateBar2... and they still don't show up. I drag them back to ChocolateBar1, and it's fine.
