Question Looking for a Certain UI

First off, here's a pic of my UI. Well, mostly. My realm Dragonblight is locked (planning on switching soon), so I just made another character with a very similar UI. I know it's not good, coupled with the fact that it's not my "original," but here's what I have so far.

Also, I just started playing WoW, my main character being a level 13 NE Hunter, so I don't have a lot of knowledge anyway. However, I've found the chat text on the left to be in the way. Is there a UI out there so that I can move/resize that? Thanks.

Also, I have RedRange, QuestGuru, and Graphpaper, you just can't see them in that pic.

When you hover your mouse over the Chatframe you'll see a couple of 'tabs' pop out. If you right-click on a tab a menu will pop out and you can click 'Unlock'. You can now move the frame by dragging the tab. If you want to resize it you can grab the upper right corner and resize it to your liking.

Just remember to access the menu and lock the frame when you're done.

Thanks, that worked great! Is that what all/most people do to fix this?

I also used the UI scale, which freed up some space as well.

Yep. There aren't any mods that provide a way to move/resize the chat frame as it is already built in, though some chat mods have a feature that lets you make your chat frame larger/smaller than the limits set by the game.

Playing with your UI scale is another good way to make room, yes. I usually play with it about halfway between its default setting and the lowest (about 75-80% scale). Too small, and I can't read the text. >.<

Okay, I think I have got this much better now. However, I have a new problem. I'm using that addon RedRange, which is very useful, but for some reason is now making my whole button solid red. It's not a huge deal, but I can't find a fix for it. If someone has a fix or better replacement, I would appreciate that as well.

Yep, that's what the addon does. If you're out of range, it turns your button red. I *think* that the default UI turns your keybinding red if you are out of range, but it's been a long time since I've used the default UI, and I might be mistaken.
