BlizzMove

Table of Contents

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)

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPcpkQjCTZU

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.

Access some in-game options, by typing /bm in chat.

You may look for additional plugins here.

Please use the issue tracker on GitHub if you have issues.

Join the BlizzMove discord.

Developers can hook their own frames into BlizzMove, to let us handle all the work to make your frames movable 🙂.

Getting an issue on classic era when moving the character pane, all the text disappears and it will not move

BlizzMove: The frame you just moved (CharacterFrame) is probably in a broken state, possibly because of other addons. Copy the text from this popup window, and report it to the addon author.

Bad anchor connections for "CharacterFrame":

"UIParent" is outside anchor family, but referenced by "UIParent.17511445010" (created in "Unknown", and "Unknown" respectively)

Not sure what is going on here but the garrison ship table keeps glitching... I posted this in their mod feedback as well just a minute ago...

there's nothing we can do about it on our end; these errors are usually due to minor mistakes in how the relevant addon positions its UI elements

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

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 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)

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. :)
