Description

LootAnchor

Move the default loot roll windows and the "You received" and achievement popups. No skins, no replacements.

Usage

Toolbar

Toolbar: use Edit to move frames; Reset and Defaults restore the layout.

  • /la or /lootanchor: open the editor. Click Save & Exit (or type /la again) to close and keep your positions. They are kept after /reload.
  • The toolbar can be dragged too.
  • Reset: undo your changes since you opened LootAnchor.
  • Defaults: back to Blizzard's own positions and grow directions. The toolbar position and test duration stay.

Positioning

Positioning: drag the frames or use the arrows and X/Y to place your alerts.

  • Drag the boxes where you want them. Boxes snap to the screen edges, the screen centre and each other, otherwise to a 10 pixel grid.
  • Click a box to select it. Arrow buttons around it, and the arrow keys, move it. Hold a button to keep moving.
  • The settings window of the selected box has its grow direction and a typed X / Y position. Loot rolls and "You received" popups each have their own grow direction.

Testing

Testing: preview alerts with the Roll, Received and Achievement buttons.

  • Roll, Received and Achievement show a stand-in window so you can see where it lands and which way it grows. Click again for more.
  • Duration: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds or until clicked away.
  • Clear removes every test window.

Settings panel

  • Settings > AddOns > LootAnchor has an Edit anchors button.

Other notes

  • AlertFrame also carries other alerts, so they move with the "You received" box.
