MoveAnything

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 are also possible using MA’s Frame Editors (Introduced in 11.b2), including framestrata, frame grouping and more.

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, /mafe frameName, /hide frameName or one of the move/mafe/hide keybindings).

Currently maintained by Resike. Many thanks to Alea of Гордунни EU who maintained it since the launch of MoP. Special thanks to Wagthaa of Earthen Ring EU who was the developer since the pre-WotLK patch. Kudos to Skrag (Original author), Jason (Vanilla) & Vincent (TBC) for earlier versions.

Movers:

• Raid Boss Alternative Bar – mover for player/boss addition indicator (like The Stone Guard progress bar)

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.

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.
