New UI: How to move the XP bar

Community General Discussion

How does one move the XP bar which currently sits below the chat frame for me.

Is it the same for everyone else?

In short: you can’t.
Why? Who knows.

You can move your xp bar with Bartender 4 (“status tracking bar” option). You can also scale up the micro menu if you wish, most can hardly see it.

Hope this helps.

At least you can see your XP bar. I can’t see my XP bar at all :rofl:

EDIT: Just found it hiding behind the default Blizzard setup behind the bottom action bar… GG! :rofl: :rofl:

I just dont understand how awful that really is.
I was happy to get finally rid of Bartender4 coz it had problems with giving Erros for instance when u had to upgrade Items with valor points etc.

But how can Blizzard advertise this big ui change and Edit mode and you cannot even move the xp Bar. Or the bags and micro menu.
It really kills this feature so much and i completely dont understand how awul this is.

Move XP Bar
/run local f=StatusTrackingBarManager; f:SetMovable(true); f:EnableMouse(true); f:SetUserPlaced(true); f:SetScript(“onmousedown”, f.StartMoving); f:SetScript(“onmouseup”, f.StopMovingOrSizing);

Move combined bags example 100
/run local f=ContainerFrameCombinedBags; f:SetMovable(true); f:EnableMouse(true); f:SetUserPlaced(true); f:SetScript(“onmousedown”, f.StartMoving); f:SetScript(“onmouseup”, f.StopMovingOrSizing);

Resize Minimap
/run Minimap:SetScale(x)

Move Que Icon (addon will have resize ability)
/run local f=QueueStatusButton; f:SetMovable(true); f:EnableMouse(true); f:SetUserPlaced(true); f:SetScript(“onmousedown”, f.StartMoving); f:SetScript(“onmouseup”, f.StopMovingOrSizing);

That post with the accepted "s.

The commands work, but the setting for at least the XP bar, which is the only one I tested, does not survive a reload. It’ll be back in default position.

You need addons for the ui blizzard did so you dont have to use addons.

I would like to have the XP bar with % indicator attached to the player frame, below health and mana/energy bar.

This would occupy far less space, and the moveability would be inherited from the player frame.

I really hope they fix this and let us customize micro menu/bags and the rep/xp bar.

Get Player XP Bar from Wowinterface or CurseForge. It’s a very small bar which you can Ctrl-left click and drag to where you want it.

Then the default xp bar can just stay behind the actionbars I want at the bottom of the screen. (This was my issue.)
