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 🙂.

Posted May 31, 2024Does this allow you to move the loot alerts that show up in the middle of the screen?
Not the actual window showing your loot, the alerts that show when you win something good from a raid or boss.

Posted Mar 16, 2024Hey Numedain, I see you're the one updating BlizzMove (even though the owner of the addon is kiatra_), thus I have a question if you don't mind:
Kiatra has another addon, EpicMusicPlayer, but the last version of that addon is from 10.0.7, and sadly has some bugs :|
Thus, I was wondering if you can't talk to kiatra and, if you can / want to, also update that addon to 10.2.5/6?
Thanks for your work on this addon alone, it's been great having it <3 can't count enough the times when I just dragged stuff from the UI because I needed to drag, which, before this addon, I was just cursing / closing and opening multitudes of times new windows etc :)

you can try asking her on discord, though your chances are quite low, unless the bugs are trivial
I only help maintaining blizzmove, because I love it as much as you do :D

Posted Apr 14, 2024In reply to psydfexrein: the encounter journal error is a known issue, which seems to not have any impact
nevertheless, blizzard seems to have fixed it in 10.2.7

Posted Feb 20, 2024I would really like an option "do not remember" for frame scales. I kind of mentally expect to see my windows a certain way when I open them and I don't really like my previous configuration affecting this :/
Also maybe an option to prevent windows from being dragged out of the screen?
Good addon nonetheless

Posted Feb 21, 2024In reply to FarbasTO: scaling is remembered by blizzard itself until a reload or relog, this would be quite tedious to "fix", so I don't expect that to happen if I'm honest :)
by default, you already can't drag a frame completely off the screen, it'll get blocked at around 20%; we may look into making this % configurable though

Posted May 18, 2024In reply to Numy: Thanks for taking the time to answer!
How about an option to change the resize key to something else than Ctrl, or even disable this functionality alltogether? I would personally rather not have it if I can't make it reset automatically ^^'

Posted Feb 13, 2024While I'm here, are there any plans to implement an account-wide profile, or allow the Global Config to save to my Bnet account level? I have to keep resetting the Frame Position setting, every time I switch characters.

but for the same wow account, everything should already be accountwide
If you have questions or issues, it's best to post them on discord or github, CF doesn't send notifications for comments, so I often miss them until months later

Posted Feb 13, 2024Has someone already reported that it doesn't move the Transmog window, or any of the Collections windows (Mounts, Pet Journal, Toy Box, Heirlooms, etc)? They are not listed in the supported frames.

Posted Feb 13, 2024In reply to WHTJunior: Is the below section supposed to move these? I tried turning off addons that I know modify these windows (like MogIt), but I can do a bit more research.
["Blizzard_Collections"] =
{
["CollectionsJournal"] =
{
MinVersion = 30403,
},
["WardrobeFrame"] =
{
MinVersion = 40000

Posted Feb 13, 2024In reply to WHTJunior: This makes no sense. I turned off every addon that I thought had anything to do with these, and was able to get them to move. I then turned them back on one-by-one, until all of my addons are back on, and I am still able to move them. Must be Blizzard's spaghetti code.

Posted Jan 5, 2024The issue of Frame Positions being slightly off after /reload or reloging with remember positions permanently enabled and the scaling of windows being anything other than 100% is still occuring.
This issue has been posted to Github over a month ago with no actions taken. Needs attention, thanks.

Posted Dec 27, 2023I would like to say a BIG thank you! I've been using the addon for sooooo long and I love it. I generally have a small UI scaling and I really like it that way. But then unfortunately other windows are always VERY small! And this is where your addon helps. I then scale the other windows larger! Thank you. Is your donation button still current? I would like to support you.
