moveFrames

Features: - Quickly move Blizzard frames wherever you want. - Frames will recall their location when re-opened. - Unmodified Blizzard frames will function as normal.

Description:

moveFrames does exactly what it's name implies, it allows you to move the basic Blizzard frames anywhere you would like. No more frames locked to the left and center of the screen. Think of it as a lightweight version of MobileFrames, MoveIt, or DiscordFrameModifier only without all the extra stuff. It doesn't do anymore than it's name implies. moveFrames is very unobtrusive, there are no visible frames or buttons cluttering up the UI or special slash commands used to move a frame.

To move a frame, simply drag by the 'title bar' to the location you want the frame placed. The next time you re-open the frame, it will open in it's newly placed position and no longer adhere to the "frame push" behavior when opened or closed like the default. Frames that have not been moved using moveFrames retain the default blizzard behavior, opening on the left and pushing currently open ones to the middle.

moveFrames works with just about every frame, including the LoadOnDemand frames like the TradeSkillFrame or TalentUI. Currently, every frame is enabled by default but you may turn off / lock individual frames; check the 'Usage' section for more details.

Credit: moveFrames was not originally written by me, I have just picked up the project and extended it's use to fit all frames within the default Blizzard framework as well as made some other changes that seemed appropriate in keeping with the purpose of this mod. It was originally written by Stabler and the original may be found at the following URL: http://wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=6564

Usage: The slash commands offer a number of options and may be accessed in one of two ways: /moveframes or /mf - /mf reset - This will reset all of the moveFrames positional data. The next time frames are opened, they will use the default Blizzard positioning. - /mf lock - This toggle a global lock on all moveFrames, frames will not be moveable with this toggled.

There are also a number of ways to handle individual frame settings by click on the TitleBar area or, in the case of frames like QuestWatch and WorldStateCaptureBar, on the frame itself. - Left-Click+Drag - Move a frame wherever you want. Pretty straight forward. - Right-Click - This will lock the selected frame into position. To un-lock the frame, just right-click it again. - Shift+Right-Click - This will reset the moveFrame data. Do this if there is one frame that needs to be reset without losing every frames positional data.

This mod has Ace2 embedded.

[2007-03-27] 1.0.61 - Fixed a small issue with global frame reset not applying to frames not controlled by the user. - Fixed a small issue with locking/unlocking frames with no positional data. - Added CastingBarFrame.

[2007-03-27] 1.0.59 - Removed LoadOnDemand frames from core.xml, which was causing 'ghost' (TopMF) frames to be created. Nasty. - Fixed up MoveFrameToLeft()/Center code which handles frames that have not been moved. - Fixed up the AllPoints template since using the SetAllPoints was having the frame span the entire width of the screen if it was moved away from it's initial position. - Fixed the LootFrame's buttons/text for pageup/pagedown not moving with the frame. - Fixed up quest watch moveFrame sizing. Should be superb now and fit exactly the size of the elements exactly, no more guessing. - Added the CaptureBar, should be working gloriously. - Added WorldStateAlwaysUp to the list of movable frames, god what a pain. - Added the DurabilityFrame. - Added individual frame locking. To lock an individual frame, just right click on the TitleBar area that you would normally use to drag the frame around. To unlock the frame, simply right click it again. - Added global frame locking. This feature may be accessed through the slash commands. - Added individual frame reset. To reset a frame, shift + right click on the frames TitleBar area (or the frame itself in some cases) and it will have it's positions reset to Blizzard standard and will no longer be modified by moveFrames. - TOC and readme.txt updated. - Code cleanup/organization.
