NotchBar

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.

Features

  • ✅ Forces UIParent to match WorldFrame size to avoid notch safe-area offsets
  • ✅ Reapplies alignment automatically if another addon changes it
  • ✅ Moves UIWidgetTopCenterContainerFrame to UIParent TOP with a configurable offset (default 0, -30)
  • ✅ Account-wide SavedVariables

Installation

  1. Close World of Warcraft.
  2. Download and unpack
  3. drag or copy to '/World of Warcraft/classic_era/Interface' or '/World of Warcraft/anniversary/Interface'
  4. Start WoW.
  5. In the AddOns menu, enable NotchBar.

Usage

No slash commands. Install and it applies automatically.


How it works

The AddOn:

  • Re-anchors UIParent to WorldFrame so UI coordinates match full-screen rendering
  • Reapplies the anchor periodically and on key events to avoid other addons reverting it
  • Repositions UIWidgetTopCenterContainerFrame to UIParent TOP with 0, -30

Limitations

  • 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.
