Description
FrameUnlocker
Unlock and customize your UI frames. Drag chat by its tab, resize it from the corner, and scale or reposition frames Blizzard normally locks down.
Features
Chat Frames
- Unlock chat to drag by tab and resize from the corner
- Stays clamped to screen so it can't be lost off-edge
- Automatically re-unlocks after exiting Edit Mode
- Toggle on/off in settings, or straight from the Edit Mode chat dialog
Frame Scaling & Positioning
Each of these can be scaled from 50% to 150%; the repositionable ones also get a draggable on-screen anchor with its own scale slider, plus Move and Reset buttons in settings.
| Frame | Scale | Reposition |
|---|---|---|
| Raid Frames | ✔ | — |
| Party Frames | ✔ | — |
| Arena / Flag Carriers | ✔ | ✔ |
| Loot Roll Frames | ✔ | ✔ |
| Quest Tracker | ✔ | ✔ |
| Raid Warnings / Hardcore death alerts | ✔ | ✔ |
| Below-Minimap Widgets | ✔ | ✔ |
- Arena / Flag Carriers also covers WSG/BG flag carrier frames.
- Quest Tracker and Below-Minimap Widgets are removed from Blizzard's managed layout while repositioned to prevent flickering.
- Repositioning stays aligned to your anchor at any scale, and adjusting the scale keeps the frame put.
Edit Mode Integration
When you select a frame in Blizzard's Edit Mode, a matching FrameUnlocker control appears beneath its dialog:
- Raid Frames / Party Frames → a scale slider
- Chat Frame → an unlock checkbox
So our settings sit right alongside Edit Mode's own, no need to leave Edit Mode.
Move Anchors
- Clicking Move closes the settings panel so the on-screen anchor is unobstructed
- Each anchor carries its own scale slider — position and scale together
- Clicking Lock saves the position and reopens settings
Settings Panel
- Full options UI integrated into the AddOns menu, on a single page
- All preferences persist between sessions
- Reset buttons restore both position and scale
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/fu |

Per-frame moving is done from the Move buttons in the settings panel.
