Very Mobile Frames

Version: 0.4
by: merlecorey [More]

There used to be an addon called MobileFrames. It allowed me to reposition standard UI windows (bags, character frame, trade frame, trade skill frame etc). Unfortunately, it stopped working on PTR 4.0 and I couldn't fix it myself.

Since this kind of functionality was important to me, I decided to write my own. Standard disclaimers apply: this is an early version, bugs happen.

Note: Versions 0.3 and later will try and prevent standard frames from opening outside of the visible screen where they can't be dragged. This can result in wonky initial placement. Simply drag the frames where they should be and everything will be alright.

The following frames have been made mobile so far:

All bags, including keyring and bank bags
Durability - new in 0.4
Casting bar - new in 0.4
Mail
Gemming
Reforging
Inspect
Guild
Quest log detail
Character
Friends
Quest log
Game menu and all related windows
Macros
Calendar
Quest objectives
Trade
Vendor
Trade skill
Auction
Bank
Guild bank
Class and profession trainers
NPC gossip
Quests
Flight master
Talents
Spellbook

The following windows are no longer affected by the addon:

Item link tooltip (it's movable without the addon)
World map (it behaves strangely, so the addon won't affect it until I figure out how to deal with it)

I am pretty sure I forgot a few windows, but they are easy to add as long as someone posts a request on the forum. *hint hint*

Why force the users to reposition EVERY frame? As long as you don't reassign them they'll pop up in their usual spots and the user can then move whichever ones they want.

For example, say someone just wants to move their character pane to the right side instead of left. As it stands, this forces the user to reposition everything in order to get the movement they want for this single frame.

The "one-time" annoyance is kind of a major one as it destroys their UI in exchange for the ability to move one or two frames they actually want to. User freedom is key in addons such as this.
