Guides UI and Macro

Hi,
Using the blizz UI, is there a addon to move the bags and also micro bar at all?
And yes i am aware i can use hotkeys to open etc, its just annoying me there.

This is something I did a while ago (early Beta) to place the bags and menu verticaly to the right hand side of the screen and have them show on mouse over (I haven’t tested it recently because I went a different direction so your milage may differ and there is most likely a better way of doing it now.)

local MICRO_BUTTONS = {
	"CharacterMicroButton",
	"SpellbookMicroButton",
	"TalentMicroButton",
	"AchievementMicroButton",
	"QuestLogMicroButton",
	"GuildMicroButton",
	"LFDMicroButton",
	"EJMicroButton",
	"CollectionsMicroButton",
	"MainMenuMicroButton",
	"HelpMicroButton",
	"StoreMicroButton",
}
local BAGS = {
	"MainMenuBarBackpackButton",
	"CharacterBag0Slot",
	"CharacterBag1Slot",
	"CharacterBag2Slot",
	"CharacterBag3Slot",
}
if CharacterReagentBag0Slot then
	BAGS[#BAGS + 1] = "CharacterReagentBag0Slot"
end

local ButtonList = {}
local function OnEnter(self)
	if MicroButtonAndBagsBar:IsMouseOver() then
		for l, v in pairs(ButtonList) do
			v:Show()
		end
	end
end
local function OnLeave(self)
	if not MicroButtonAndBagsBar:IsMouseOver() then
		for l, v in pairs(ButtonList) do
			v:Hide()
		end
	end
end
local function OnShow(self)
	if not MicroButtonAndBagsBar:IsMouseOver() then
		self:Hide()
	end
end
MainMenuBarBackpackButton:SetScale(0.6)
MicroButtonAndBagsBar:ClearAllPoints() 
MicroButtonAndBagsBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 300)
MicroButtonAndBagsBar:HookScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
MicroButtonAndBagsBar:HookScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
local height = 10
for i=1, #MICRO_BUTTONS do
	local f = _G[MICRO_BUTTONS[i]]
	f:ClearAllPoints()
	if i == 1 then
		f:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", MicroButtonAndBagsBar, "BOTTOMRIGHT")
	else
		f:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", _G[MICRO_BUTTONS[i-1]], "TOPRIGHT")
	end
	f:HookScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
	f:HookScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
	f:HookScript("OnShow", OnShow)
	tinsert(ButtonList, f)
	height = height + f:GetHeight()

end
for i=1, #BAGS do
	local f = _G[BAGS[i]]
	f:ClearAllPoints()
	if i == 1 then
		f:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", StoreMicroButton, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
	else
		f:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", _G[BAGS[i-1]], "TOPRIGHT")
	end
	f:HookScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
	f:HookScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
	f:HookScript("OnShow", OnShow)
	tinsert(ButtonList, f)
	height = height + f:GetHeight()
end
MicroButtonAndBagsBar:SetSize(MainMenuBarBackpackButton:GetWidth(), height)
BagBarExpandToggle:Hide()
OnLeave()

Addons: ColorfulMicroMenu helps with Microbar stuff and the combination of Blizzmove and Demodal is amazing. Open the auction house, your bags and multiple profession windows all at once and move them all around.

You guys keep talking about Edit Mode Expanded. When I go into Edit Mode there is no mention of Expanded. I’m having the issue where my bags are popping up in front of my buttons on the right, so I can’t drag anything from my bags to my Alt-X key for those quests that require me to do action with a device they give me.

Here you go: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/edit-mode-expanded

Same idea, but it restores the old icons these old eyes are used to seeing: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/sl-micro-menu

“Moveanything” addon also works for this.
