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 🙂.
In 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
In 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 ^^'
While 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.
In reply to WHTJunior: blizzard doesn't let addons save things between different wow accounts
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
Has 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.
In 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
In 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.
Today 19.1.6024 i sent small donation as thanks for keeping this tiny, but goldie addon up to date. Peace and good path :)
In reply to Fedaygin:
Hardly tiny with 4m down imo, but regardless donating to foss projects you rely on is a must.
The 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.
In reply to V1rtuou5: github or discord is the place to ask for updates :)
curseforge refuses to send notifications for comments here, so they're often missed until weeks or months later
In reply to Numedain: Thank You for fixing frame positions when scaled, my OCD appreciates you!!! Seems to be working as intended now.
I 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.
In reply to mapleleaf2324: glad you like it :)
I think the donate button is still up to date for Kiatra (the original author), I'm not sure if zaCada has any donate links (they're one of the current maintainers), my links you can find on any of my addon pages (I'm the other current maintainer :) )
Hello, thank you for this addon.
Does anyone know how to move the achievement pop-up frame? Particularly, what is it called under the 'list of frames'?
Also, would there be a way to permanently lock frames irrespective of shift-move? Like a completely permanent option, as I simply use this addon to move the open bag position :)
In reply to JBab: we don't generally support things that don't look & feel like "windows", so achievement popups aren't supported
there are no plans for some kind of toggle lock option, requiring shift to drag is the next best thing right now :)
In reply to Numedain: No worries! Shift to drag is completely fine, big fan of the addon. Thanks for your work! :)
In reply to JBab:
the addon "edit mode expanded" has this feature
why cant it resize other stuff profession, work order UI etc?
In reply to cankyy: odd, works fine for me
maybe you're using some addon that replaces the ui?
