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 🙂.

Remember Frame position.

I noticed with the new Rage of the Firelands quests there is a small bar a few inches from the bottom of the screen that shows a percentage of accomplishment for that quest. Is there a way to unlock that bar so we can move it? It is hiding beneath some other bars I have created and set there.

I have since discovered that this is the "Quest Timer Bar" I am trying to define here. "Move Anything" mod has the option to move it but it is broke. I would very much like to keep all this within one mod - a light weight one like BlizzMove. Any chance of adding it? I really like your mod much better! Great work.

Another neat feature would be to move the player debuff box. It would be nice to be able to move it down to a position more in my sight range so I didn't constantly have to look up to see what is going on with my debuffs.

Oh, and yess, your protrait has triggered a chocolate frenzy! XD

I very much appreciate the addon, but there appears to be a slight issue with the glyphs frame..
With Blizzmove loaded, I didn't get the background decoration on the glyph frame and was unable to remove glyphs. After disabling BlizzMove and reloading, the glyph frame was back to normal.

Not a regular challenge to me, but it might bite the odd user.

CharacterFrame is not saving position. When I CTRL Right Click the Frame, status indicates:

BlizzMove: Frame: CharacterFrame will be saved.
BlizzMove: Frame: CharacterFrame will NOT be saved.

Where as other windows will correctly 'lock' or 'unlock' position with CTRL Right Click, the CharacterFrame immediately indicates both states.

I am able to resize the CharacterFrame window, as well as move, resize and save positions-size changes to other Blizzard Frames (included Objective Tracker thanks to the post below- thanks for that)!

Is this a known bug with CharacterFrame? Anything else I can try to trouble-shoot?

Thanks for the great simple, but entirely useful add-on.

Please add the code to move the quest tracker. I use this addon all the time and like using curse to keep it up to date.

I want to move the objective tracker, but I use curse client to install my addons, so I'm not sure which file I'm supposed to alter in accordance with the script you posted two comments below. Can you tell me how to do this in a little bit more detail?

Also, is it possible to move the chat window?

thanks. also, nice work. =)

just go into the interface folder in your World of Warcraft folder. Open the BlizzMove.lua and goto line 234 with a text editor program, there is a blank space that you can paste that too.

it totally worked, which made me very very happy. Thanks a lot, and thanks for writing a great addon. I'm afraid I have to ask just one.more.thing though. Yours is the only "moveable interface" addon that works...moveit doesn't work at all. So is it possible to move the chat window? That's my last wish. =D

To move the chat window right click and unlock it. You do not need an addon to move the chat window.

@MazelFiresoul (and yess)
Just add this line at line 234:
SetMoveHandler(WatchFrame, WatchFrameHeader)

You can now move the objective tracker by its header. :)

yeah. It moves back whenever a quest is updated. Rather annoying.

If you are having problems with the quest tracker bouncing back to the position it was in before you tried to move it, make sure you are not using Chinchilla minimap addon. That addon has its own quest tracker moving thingy which was not working for me regardless of Blizzmove. But if I tried to move the quest tracker with Blizzmove or moveanything, it would bounce back.

Is there a way to move those annoying achievement/rolls popups at the lower part of the screen? When they come up in battles they block access to some of my macro bars. That would be awesome!

I found the mod 'Move Anything' will allow me to move the popup achievements... but it is not as light weight and easy as blizzmove. Any chance of getting this in there?
