Dynamic Profiles

Switch Edit Mode layouts, UI scale, and AddOn Sets in one tap - built for people who play WoW on more than one device.

Why this exists 🎮

I play World of Warcraft at a competitive level on a 4K PC, a Legion Go, a Steam Deck, those handhelds docked, and when streaming from the PC to a Shield / another handheld.

Some setups have unique resolutions - Auto mode handles those fine. The problem is when they don’t.

Docked Legion Go / Steam Deck and the desktop PC can both report the same 4K resolution. Resolution-only matching can’t tell “I’m at my desk” from “I’m on the couch with a controller.” I needed profiles I could name (4kPC, 4KHandheld, Deck, …), tie to different addon sets, and switch quickly without a keyboard or mouse.

That’s Dynamic Profiles.

What it does

Piece	What you get
Named profiles	Multiple profiles per resolution (e.g. two different 4K setups)
On-screen picker	Controller-friendly button; open Edit Mode to move / resize / anchor it
Edit Mode layout	One layout per profile
UI scale	Applied with the profile
AddOn Sets	Named lists of enabled addons - applied when the profile activates

Auto mode picks the profile marked for the current resolution.
Manual mode sticks to whatever you choose until you go back to Auto — survives reloads and logins.

Quick start ⚡

Open Settings → AddOns → Dynamic Profiles
Create AddOn Sets for each setup (which addons should be on)
Open Profiles → create profiles (PC, Handheld, Deck, …)
On each profile: set layout, scale, and Pick Set
Mark one profile as Automatic for this resolution (optional)
Use the on-screen picker (or Activate in Settings) to switch - especially useful when two setups share the same resolution

Slash commands:

/dp or /dynamicprofiles - open options
/dp auto - return to Auto (by resolution)
/dp use 4kPC - select a profile by name

AddOn Sets 🧩

Sets answer: “In this profile, which addons should be enabled?”

Applying a set is authoritative - members are enabled, everything else (except protected addons like Dynamic Profiles itself) is disabled. You’ll get a reload prompt only when something actually changed.

Without BetterAddonList

Settings → AddOn Sets - checkbox editor with collapsible groups (e.g. EllesmereUI modules under one header)
Blizzard Addon List → Sets - Select a set (checks boxes, no reload nag), tweak, then Save; or New set…

With BetterAddonList

If BAL is installed, Dynamic Profiles defers to it:

Profile Pick Set lists BAL’s sets
Edit members in BAL’s Addon List UI (DP won’t duplicate that workflow)
Native DP Sets button stays hidden so you aren’t managing two systems

You can still keep local DP sets alongside BAL if you want; the picker labels them clearly.

Profile picker

Shows the active profile (Auto: 4kPC or 4KHandheld)
Menu: Auto (by resolution) + every named profile
Remains usable in combat
Edit Mode: drag, resize, or anchor to Minimap / Chat / any named frame (Pick Anchor Frame)

On the Overview page you can also:

Toggle the on-screen picker
Mute chat log output (Dynamic Profiles only) if login messages are too noisy

Tips for multi-device play 💡

Give profiles names you’ll recognize on a tiny screen: 4kPC, 4KDock, Deck, Go
Put heavy / desktop-only addons in the PC set; keep handheld sets lean
When PC and docked share 4K, don’t rely on Auto alone - switch with the picker once you’re on that device
After changing sets, reload when prompted so enable states finish applying
