G9 UI Manager – Ultrawide

Take control of your World of Warcraft interface on ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors!

Playing World of Warcraft on a 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 at 5120x1440 (32:9) looks incredible. Unfortunately, the default interface isn't always practical on such enormous displays.

NPC dialogue windows appear miles away from your character. Tooltips get stuck at the extreme edges of your monitor. Carefully positioned windows reset after restarting the game. And adjusting your field of view or limiting the rendered gameplay area requires navigating different settings.

G9 UI Manager solves these frustrations by bringing essential ultrawide interface controls together in one lightweight addon.

Originally developed for World of Warcraft Forever 1.60.1, G9 UI Manager combines persistent window positioning, customizable tooltip placement, adjustable 3D viewport width and native camera FOV controls.

Features

1. Persistent Window Positions

Move your windows once. Keep them where you want them.

G9 UI Manager automatically remembers the positions of supported Blizzard interface windows and restores them when you reopen them, even after restarting the game.

Supported windows:

• NPC gossip and dialogue
• Quest acceptance and reward windows
• World map and quest log
• Character window
• Spellbook
• Macro editor
• Merchant windows
• Class trainers and legacy trainer windows

Automatic position saving can be enabled or disabled. Positions can also be saved or restored manually.

Works alongside BlizzMove, allowing you to drag supported Blizzard windows and preserve their positions across sessions.

2. Draggable Tooltip Positioning

Stop chasing item tooltips across your ultrawide monitor!

On a 5120x1440 display, default tooltips can appear uncomfortably far from the center of your screen.

Features:

• Draggable tooltip positioning marker
• Custom tooltip placement anywhere on your screen
• Persistent positioning across game sessions
• Enable or disable custom tooltip positioning
• Reset to the addon's default tooltip location

Tooltip positioning applies to Blizzard tooltips that use the default anchoring mechanism. Explicitly anchored and cursor-following tooltips are not repositioned.

3. Adjustable 3D Viewport

Enjoy ultrawide gaming without being forced to render the game world across your entire display.

World of Warcraft's perspective projection can produce noticeable distortion near the edges of extremely wide monitors.

G9 UI Manager provides an optional adjustable viewport that lets you narrow and center the rendered 3D world while maintaining your native desktop resolution.

Features:

• Adjustable viewport width
• Centered 3D world rendering
• Black side margins
• One-click return to full-width gameplay
• Independent interface positioning

For example, on a 5120x1440 monitor, you can choose a centered 3840x1440 gameplay viewport while keeping the rest of the interface available.

Full-width rendering is enabled by default. Viewport adjustment is completely optional.

The addon does not modify the game's underlying perspective projection.

4. Camera Field of View (FOV) Controls

Fine-tune your camera without leaving the addon settings!

Version 0.5.0 introduces native camera FOV controls for World of Warcraft Forever.

Features:

• Adjustable FOV range: 50–90
• Dedicated FOV slider
• Displays selected and current FOV values
• Apply FOV button to confirm changes
• Restore the FOV recorded when the addon first loaded
• Integration with the game's native cameraFov setting

Dragging the slider does not immediately modify your camera. Changes take effect only when you click Apply FOV.

Camera FOV and viewport width can be configured independently.

5. Simple In-Game Configuration

No complicated configuration files or external UI frameworks required.

Type /g9ui to open the settings panel.

Manage everything from one interface:

• Automatic window position saving
• Viewport width
• Camera FOV
• Saved window positions
• Tooltip placement

The settings panel itself can also be dragged to a convenient location.

Why G9 UI Manager?

Most World of Warcraft UI addons focus on combat, action bars or unit frames.

G9 UI Manager focuses on a different problem: making the default Blizzard interface practical on extremely wide displays.

Instead of replacing your entire UI, it gives you control over where existing windows appear, where tooltips are displayed and how much of your monitor is used for 3D gameplay.

Whether you're playing at 3440x1440, 3840x1440 or 5120x1440, the goal is simple:

Spend less time fighting your interface and more time enjoying Azeroth!

Feedback and Future Development

G9 UI Manager is actively developed.

Suggestions, bug reports and compatibility feedback are welcome, particularly from players using different ultrawide resolutions and monitor configurations.

Future improvements may include additional supported windows, more flexible positioning options and further ultrawide-specific customization.
