Personal Resource Bar - Lock in place

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to set Personal Resource Bar in place and additionally move it vertically.
I've found two Cvar's providing such functionality.
It does seem to lock it to some extent, but when you drag your mouse all the way down the bar goes up anyway.

SetCVar ("nameplateSelfTopInset", .52)
SetCVar ("nameplateSelfBottomInset", .42)


Thanks in advance!

Hi Ðaste,

i recommend you use the MoveAnything addon for moving UI elements, locking them in place & having the client remember their positions.
Thank you for suggestion Grimmj, but I'm not looking for an addon just to make one simple tweak.
I was playing around with different values and found out that the ones below lock the bar in place perfectly:)
/run SetCVar ("nameplateSelfTopInset", .51)
/run SetCVar ("nameplateSelfBottomInset", .43)

Just hoping in to help future readers, this indeed keeps the resource bar in place but it was right on my character which was annoying, so in order to get it to go down you also have to modify "nameplateSelfScale" to like 2 or more (I have it at 4).

If you don't want to run scripts or maybe they just don't work for you, you can download a simple addon like AdvancedInterfaceOptions and go Interface > AddOns > CVar Browser and change the variables from there.

This worked perfectly for me. The trick is to keep 6 between the two numbers and you can move it anywhere on a vertical axis.

Can you explain how can I move it vertically? I want to set it a bit lower,but also keep it from moving anywhere.
