Let me address moving the top bars first, then I'll reply to the other questions in a separate message.
You can move the top bars manually by editing [
Interface > AddOns > nUI > Main > nUI.xml ] -- this is one of the things that will change in the future as it's part of nUI that has not yet been incorporated into the layout engine.
In any event, you'll find the following section in the file...
Code:
<Frame name="nUI_TopBarsLocator" frameStrata="BACKGROUND" toplevel="false" parent="nUI_MasterFrame">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="BOTTOM" relativeTo="nUI_MasterFrame" relativePoint="TOP" />
</Anchors>
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="2560" y="2" />
</Size>
</Frame>
Change it as follows...
Code:
<Frame name="nUI_TopBarsLocator" frameStrata="BACKGROUND" toplevel="false" parent="nUI_MasterFrame">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="BOTTOM" relativeTo="nUI_MasterFrame" relativePoint="TOP">
<Offset>
<AbsDimension x="0" y="0" />
</Offset>
</Anchor>
</Anchors>
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="2560" y="2" />
</Size>
</Frame>
Where you see the
y="0" highlighted, just tweak that to move the upper console up and down. Higher values of y move it up, negative values move it down.
