About
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.
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.

Usage
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.
Basics
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 unlock 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.
Slash Commands
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.
Download
The latest version of MoveFrames may be found for download at WoWInterface.
For users who would like beta versions, it may be accessed via SVN at http://svn.chuckg.org/trunk/moveFrames. The latest found there is typically a mirror version of what I am using locally. Please realize that the versions found here are likely to have bugs.
Credit
MoveFrames was not originally written by me (User:ChuckG), 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 on WoWInterface.
