MoveAnything - WoW AddOns

MoveAnything enables you to move, scale, hide and adjust transparency of just about any screen element in WoW, offering tools to help you customize your UI. Some other frame modifications is also possible using MA's Frame Editors(introduced in 11.b2).

Type /move to show the main window or click the button below the game menu. This main window contains a list of Blizzard's frames(any element not in the list can be added to the Custom Frames category by either /move frameName, /hide frameName or one of the move/hide keybindings).

Maintained by Wagthaa of Earthen Ring EU since the pre-WotLK patch. Kudos to Skrag(original author), Jason(vanilla mod) & Vincent(tbc) for earlier versions.

Reporting Bugs:

Report bugs here - Include the LUA error message if applicable!
If the problem is with a certain frame, always try to reset the frame and reload before modifying it again. If the problem persists please report it at the above link.
Make sure you are running the latest version! You would be surprised how much time is wasted by reports of issues that are already resolved.
The LUA error message should be from an addon such as Swatter(a part of Auctioneer) or BugSack if at all possible. If the issue you are reporting is the result of a LUA error and you don't include this you might as well not bother posting.
If you feel like being helpful include your MA profile as an exported textstring in the report.
Any comment on Curse or forum post on WoWInterface containing a full error report will be deleted, as one of those quickly takes up more than half a page.

Key Bindings:

Toggle MA window - toggles MoveAnything's main window
Move frame - Safe - toggles moving of the first found parent frame, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible
Edit frame - Safe - toggles a frame editor for the frame, picking a modified, a default or a top level frame in that order
Hide frame - Safe - hides frame at cursor, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible
Reset frame - Safe - resets frame at cursor, from MA's default list or a top level frame if possible

Edit frame - Exact - toggles a frame editor for the exact frame at cursor

/movedelete profileName - deletes named profile

/move, /mafe, /unmove and /hide accepts several shorthands: last, minimap, buffs, debuffs, player, target, targetoftarget, focus & pet.

Tips: - Work in progress

Quickest way to modify a frame - Go into Keybindings, scroll down to MoveAnything and bind a key to "Move Frame - Safe". They key you bound now toggles a mover on the topmost frame underneath your mouse cursor.
Easiest way to reset a frame - Bind a key to "Reset Frame - Safe" as described above and press it while hovering your mouse cursor above the element you want to reset. Check the chatframe to verify it's the right frame before clicking the key again to confirm.
Moved something by mistake - Type /unmove last and it will reset the last frame you interacted with.
Figuring out frame names for use with /move, /hide, /mafe and /unmove - Use the "FS" checkbox to show Blizzard's Frame Stack tooltip. This tooltip displays a list of frames currently underneath your mouse cursor, divided by what screen layer they are in(aka framestrata).

Current issues:

Frames jumping when switching graphics from windowed to windowed-maximized mode have been reported.

Hi there, i got a problem with one frame "PlayerPowerBarAlt". on my main and some alts its not visiable. i don't remember to hide it with any addon yet. i figured out that Width % height ist set to 0:0 on these chars where its missing, as well as X & Y coords. When i try to move it via MoveAnything my buggrabber grabs a luabug . I tryed to turn all amy addons off, excluding MoveAnything, but there is no change. the MoveAnything Reset function aint resetting its width either position. i guess it's probally not a MoveAnything error, but i guess here are the people whom know where these attributs whers and hw to manipulate them. Here is a screenshot.

Great addon ,It ought to be standard operating equipment...

I need to know how to find a frame. Its the one at the top of the screen in the middle that pop up when your on PVP battle ground like Tol Barad & WG that shows who has control...It has Gold letters and the Alliance and Horde symbols. Mine is too far to the left.. :(

TY

This is one of my favorite addons! I also use Chinchilla, which has an expanded minimap frame called Chinchilla_Expander_Minimap. If I use /move <frame-name> on that frame, it gives me the error MoveAnything> Unsupported typ: Minimap

Any chance this can be corrected/enhanced to be able to move this?

Thanks!

Hello, Authors

I hope you can translate this plugin into Chinese.Whether zhTW or zhCN. If you translate it, there will be more players use it. Your plugin is very good, hope you can update it.

Above those, I use the google translation tool written it.

is there anyway to get MA to load a profile automatically? Say I start playing a toon name "Joe", it would be nice to automatically load the profile named Joe. Then when I start playing a toon named "Sam", the profile for Sam is loaded. Currently it seems that I have to type /moveimport Joe (or Sam) to get the profile loaded.

Is this possible?

Was just wondering, is there any way to get a frame that is, by default UI, vertical to get it to move to a horizontal position? ie., right action bars are vertical i would like to move them to the bottom center of my screen but i would also like to rotate them to a horizontal position.
