Is there an addon that can hide quests in m+ but keep the blizzard timer?

Guides UI and Macro

I kept searching and searching and all the addons replace the blizzard timer. I want the original blizzard timer but I just dont want the other quests fill up the screen. Is this possible?

I thought DBM/BW did that but I could be mistaken.

I have BW but it doesnt do that at least I dont know how to configure it to do that

I’m mistaken then cuz it wouldn’t have been something I configured if I’d had it. From what I understand the whole quest tracker is kinda a pain to work with programmatically and results in a lot of taint when you do. That’s likely why most solutions are simply to hide it and replace the timer with something else.

I think this would be potentially easy to make.

I’d make a frame for the addon.
I’d make a child frame for the timer.
A slash command could be used to show/hide the timer outside m+, for configuration.
Another slash command would let the user change the font size.
It would be movable always and never lock.

Lastly there would be an event interpreter in the addon’s (invisible) frame, so it could detect when the user begins a m+ and automatically hides the right stuff and shows the custom frame. It might also have to update the timer. I’m not sure.

I’d need someone to go into an m+ and /fstack and fetch a screenshot of everything that appears when the user mouses over the timer. windows key + shift + s let’s the user take a quick snippet and places it in the clipboard so it can be pasted.

What would I get out of it? I’d add this feature to an addon I’m already working on.
Why don’t I /fstack the timer myself? I don’t have any 80s :-/.
Why don’t I have 80s? I enjoy tinkering with lua more than actually playing.
Why would the addon make a new frame for the timer? All the scenario/dungeon/quest objective stuff is annoying to work with, but it might be easy to just hide all of it and put a new frame in the same spot.

I could also try a variant that just hides everything except the default timer whenever the user enters a slash command or begins a m+.

you can just untrack the quests but it sounds like you want to keep the quests there just hidden when you are in M+

I think moveany can do this…but I’m not entirely sure I’d have to check
