BlizzMove
This addon makes the Blizzard windows movable.
To temporarily move a window, just click the title of the window and drag it to where you want it. Shift + right-click resets the position.
Use ctrl + scroll wheel over a window title to adjust the scale of the window. Ctrl + right-click resets the scale.
Use alt + drag to detach child frames from their parent. Alt + right-click re-attaches the child frame. (Examples of child windows are calendar event info frames, and similar)

Limitations:
- The default Blizzard separate bag frames are not movable - the default combined bag frame is movable
- BlizzMove does not disable Blizzard's built-in panel positioning logic. This means that opening, for example a profession window, might close or move other windows. To disable this default Blizzard behaviour, you can install No Auto Close.
- Due to a blizzard bug, there are issues when you rescale the map in retail. This cannot be fixed by us, and if you want it to work, let blizzard know.

Developers can hook their own frames into BlizzMove, to let us handle all the work to make your frames movable 🙂.
Hello,
since today's changes (trade post enabled) your wonderful addon can't save its preferences. Upon logging out everything is reset to default, the size of the frames and their position.
totally unnecessary comment from my end, i had to check further. Your addon is working just fine
Is there a way to move my Mindbender Totem Bar with this addon?
This doesn't seem to be working with the GroupLootFrame, the one where you roll for loot with your party. Is there something I can do to enable moving that frame?
In reply to adamk33n3r:
tl;dr, it's not supported, and not planned
the goal of blizzmove, is to make frames that look and feel like windows, movable
the need/greed/pass popup doesn't really fall under that category :)
without having looked into it, I'm also worried that it might require significant effort to ensure it doesn't break when there's more than 1 item for roll
a technically inclined person could make a plugin for it, resolving any potential breakages in there, keeping the main addon clean, and futureproof :)
In reply to Numedain:
Gotcha, thank you for the response. I tried looking for an addon to do this in classic, but I didn't have any luck. I would take a swing at it myself, but like you said it will probably be a lot of effort to make it work right.
Sorry, I see above that this is a Blizzard bug, how come they don't fixed it for at least 2 expansions already???
Maybe this is a Blizzard problem that is occured with MoveAnything addon too, which I don't use anymore.
World map is working fine with 100% (original size), but when I make it larger the zones with mouse over are not in correct places.Try it with a few size bigger and click on a zone, it will be 'clicked' somewhere else, we need to aim far left position.In reply to KoborOld:
it might get fixed by blizzard in 10.0.5, but don't bet money on it ;)
does anyone else get taint?

So far I did not. What did you do get that error?

In reply to rakkarage:
this is likely due to another addon, addons using the same libraries as blizzmove, will cause wow to (incorrectly) blame us, because we're very early in the alphabet
if you're able to consistently trigger the error, try triggering it when blizzmove is disabled (and if it's fixed, try again with no addons enabled except BM)
In reply to Numedain:
thanks... ya i thought it might be unrelated will do more testing thanks
HI. Love the addon. Is there anyway to set it so I have to use SHIFT + LEFT-CLICK to move a window? Thanks in advance. :)
In reply to Minstril43:
Yes under "Global Config" set "Require move modifier."
If enabled BlizzMove requires to hold shift to move frames.
In reply to kiatra_:
D'oh! Don't know why I didn't see that. Thank you. :)
Hello and thank you for this addon. I am using A LOT of addons, so I dunno if another 1 of them is doing this, but the position and scale is not getting saved when I logoff or exit game, for map for ex. and yes, I can also confirm (as reported already), when map is scaled, clicking on zones is off, according to original map size. Thank you again.
In reply to geigerwow:
did you enable permanent saving in the options (/bm)?
edit: added a note about the map issues in the description
there's a trivially tiny change that blizzard needs to make, and it'd work fine again.
Doh, why are the separate bag windows not movable? That's the 1 thing I need blizzmove to do since moveanything is broken. Blizzard bags are overlapping the right side action bars and need to be shifted over.
From what I remember when I set up moveanything to move them there is a root frame that all the bags attach to that can be moved over, I think. Was years ago.
edit: found the fix for bags overlapping side bars, reset the side action bars to their default position. Had only moved mine cause blizzard glitched out and they got shifted out of position.
In reply to morfraen:
if it ever was that simple, it no longer is now
I'm not saying it'll never happen, but moving separate bags likely won't get touched by blizzmove (it's just a bad experience, even if we fix issues that blocks using items in combat etc)
