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)
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 🙂.
Pointless addon if the windows reset after a load screen.
In reply to RealRobD: there's an option to save locations permanently
the original point was to let users just quickly move windows out of the way, and not to change the default opening positions

Hi, im having this error on the Classic version of the game (hc servers)
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.

In reply to Rivnex_: that's an issue with the hardcore addon
Can we update this addon so that it moves the new giant options window which also holds the addons?
In reply to LustIess: I assume you're talking about wrath classic? I'll be updating that soon (TM)

In reply to WoWEye:
Same problem.
Addon seems to work fine but the lua bug is annoying.
In reply to WoWEye: seems to be due to the massive interface update for wrath this week 🤔
will be fixed soon (TM)
In reply to GnomeTW: known issue, blame blizzard :)
Getting an issue on classic era when moving the character pane, all the text disappears and it will not move

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...

In reply to SillySithOriginal:
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
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 :)
