Moving the entire UI?

I use dual monitors, and I have successfully modified the scale to be the perfect size. My problem is that I only use 1 monitor for playable area, with misc addons that are not vital to raiding on the other, and when I change the UI scale, it stays centered across both monitors. Is there anything I can add to the .lua file to change the default position? I don't know anything about lua except how to copy-paste into it ;).

I don't think nUI is set up to work with dual monitor setups at the moment but I vaguely recall Scott mentioning it awhile back so maybe he was working it into version 6.

It should be possible to re-anchor the dashboard and console.

Edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Main > nUI.lua ] and locate the section of code I've copied below.

Code:

nUI_BottomBars.Anchor = CreateFrame( "Frame", "$parent_Anchor", nUI_BottomBars );

nUI_BottomBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", UIParent, "BOTTOM", 0, 0 );

nUI_BottomBars:SetPoint( "TOP", nUI_BottomBarsLocator, "TOP", 0, 0 );

nUI_BottomBars.Anchor:SetPoint( "TOP", nUI_BottomBars, "TOP", 0, 0 );



nUI_Dashboard.Anchor = CreateFrame( "Frame", "$parent_Anchor", nUI_Dashboard );

nUI_Dashboard:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_BottomBarsLocator, "TOP", 0, 0 );

nUI_Dashboard.Anchor:SetPoint( "CENTER", nUI_Dashboard, "CENTER", 0, 0 );



nUI_TopBars.Anchor = CreateFrame( "Frame", "$parent_Anchor", nUI_TopBars );

nUI_TopBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", UIParent, "TOP", 0, 0 );

nUI_TopBars:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_TopBarsLocator, "BOTTOM", 0, -115 );

nUI_TopBars.Anchor:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_TopBars, "BOTTOM", 0, 0 );

If you want nUI's elements to appear in your left monitor, then make the following two changes to the areas I have highlighted...

Code:

nUI_BottomBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT",  0, 0 );

nUI_TopBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOMLEFT",  UIParent, "TOPLEFT", 0, 0 );

If you want nUI's elements in the right hand display, make these changes...

Code:

nUI_BottomBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT",  0, 0 );

nUI_TopBarsLocator:SetPoint( "BOTTOMRIGHT",  UIParent, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 0 );

NOTE: If you're using FuBar, TitanPanel or any of the integrated data brokers then things are going to be more complicated.

Awesome, I'll give this a shot. As for LDB addons, I ditched FuBar for Fortress a long time ago, since it gives me a fully movable and dockable item for each addon.

Worked perfectly. Just needed a little tweaking of the scale to get it onto one screen only, but now it's just how I wanted it!

Whats your UI Scale set to?

I usually run nUI on my 1400x900 screen with a lowest scale setting ( 0.6 / 60% ). It will make the writing smaller so you will have to work around that if that becomes a problem.

still having trouble finding where to resize nui, and how you get to where you can resize it
