The parent frame settings that I use are:
Code:
<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">
<Frame name="DWMPackBaseFrame" alpha="0.9" hidden="true" movable="true" resizable="true" parent="UIParent" toplevel="true" enableMouse="true">
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="768" y="514" />
</Size>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="UIParent">
<Offset>
<AbsDimension x="0" y="-77" />
</Offset>
</Anchor>
The subframes or child frame settings I use are:
Code:
<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
<Frame name="DWMPackRepFrame" alpha="0.85" hidden="false" parent="DWMPackBaseFrame" inherits="DWMPackBaseFrame" toplevel="true" enableMouse="true">
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="690" y="365" />
</Size>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="DWMPackBaseFrame">
<Offset>
<AbsDimension x="27" y="-89" />
</Offset>
</Anchor>
Also when creating frames I use a program called WoW UI Designer which is available on this site.
