MoveBuffs

MoveBuffs is a simple and elegant addon for TBC Classic (and possibly other classic versions) that unlocks the default buff frame in World of Warcraft, giving you full control over its position and appearance.
You can freely drag the buff frame anywhere on your screen, adjust its scale and opacity, and save your layout between sessions.

However: do not download or use this addon in TBC Anniversary (even though I uploaded a version for it).
Blizzard added a native layout editor in 2.5.5 that does all of this better, faster, and more reliably.

Features:

• Drag-and-drop repositioning
• Scale and opacity sliders with live value display
• Directional control for buff growth (left or right) (experimental, might not work in all cases)
• Lock/unlock toggle in the options panel or via /movebuffs slash command
• Lightweight, no dependencies

Perfect for players who love the default UI but want just a bit more flexibility.

Tested on a 2.5.2 client.
