A tiny WoW AddOn for macOS “notched” MacBooks that aligns UIParent to WorldFrame to eliminate notch safe-area offsets and prevent UI elements from drifting after reload.
This AddOn does not change the 3D render viewport or macOS safe-area handling. It only adjusts the WoW UI layer anchoring and positions the top-center widget container.
- ✅ Forces
UIParentto matchWorldFramesize to avoid notch safe-area offsets - ✅ Reapplies alignment automatically if another addon changes it
- ✅ Moves
UIWidgetTopCenterContainerFrametoUIParent TOPwith a configurable offset (default0, -30) - ✅ Account-wide SavedVariables
- Close World of Warcraft.
- Download and unpack
- drag or copy to '/World of Warcraft/classic_era/Interface' or '/World of Warcraft/anniversary/Interface'
- Start WoW.
- In the AddOns menu, enable NotchBar.
No slash commands. Install and it applies automatically.
The AddOn:
- Re-anchors
UIParenttoWorldFrameso UI coordinates match full-screen rendering - Reapplies the anchor periodically and on key events to avoid other addons reverting it
- Repositions
UIWidgetTopCenterContainerFrametoUIParent TOPwith0, -30
- This AddOn cannot:
- change the game’s 3D render size or macOS fullscreen safe-area behavior
- “detect the notch” directly (WoW AddOns don’t have access to macOS safe-area insets)
- Another addon may still fight the anchoring; the periodic reapply should keep it aligned.
