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.

• Arena / Flag Carriers also covers WSG/BG flag carrier frames. On Retail and WoW Forever it moves the battleground flag carrier frames; arena enemy frames there are moved with Blizzard's Edit Mode instead.
• 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.
• *Party Frames reposition works differently from the rest: instead of one anchor for the whole group, each party member gets its own draggable box, so you can arrange members independently rather than as a fixed stack. Enable "Reposition members" under Party frames in the settings. Retail and WoW Forever only — Classic Era and TBC Anniversary aren't covered yet.

Blizzard Panels

• Unlock Character, Social, Map & quest log, Spellbook, Talents, Legacy, Professions, Guild & communities, Group finder, and Collections (plus a separate Quest log on Classic clients)
• Drag a panel by its title bar to move it; drag the grip in its bottom-right corner to resize it live; right-click the grip to reset it
• Each panel keeps its own saved position and size; uncheck it to return it to the game's normal layout
• Turn panels on individually from the Panels page under FrameUnlocker in the game's settings (on-screen elements like chat and unit frames are on the Frames page)
• Panels with secure buttons (like the spellbook) can't be moved during combat; changes apply once combat ends

Combined Bag Frame (Retail)

• Unlocked by default — drag the combined bags anywhere, the same way as the chat frame
• Position is remembered between sessions
• Retail only — other clients use individual bag frames

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 (party member anchors are position-only, since party scale is set once for the whole group)
• Clicking Lock saves the position and reopens the Frames settings page

Settings Panel

• Full options UI in the game's AddOns settings: a main FrameUnlocker page (overview, slash commands, Reset to Defaults) with two sub-pages — Frames for on-screen elements and Panels for Blizzard windows
• All preferences persist between sessions
• Reset buttons restore both position and scale

Commands

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