I am starting to feel like something out there in the game interface editing world has it out for me and is getting a good laugh....

Nothing I've tried is changing anything. I tried all of this on my lvl 1 bank toon only addons enabled !improved error thingy and nUI. I deleted all previous saved variables for nUI. Still nada

... in my file of nUI.xml here is what you shall find. (I just went ahead and did the whole thing to make sure I am putting it exactly in the right spot). Highlighted in green is the section I worked with/edited per what I understood from Scott.

Code:

You'll notice that I have the value 500 in there... that's because I got so frustrated with every value I tried not doing anything I began trying more extreme values just to see if I could get any result. I tried -5, -50, 5, 10, 50, and lastly 500 lol.

Absolutely nothing made any sort of change

halp! Want to pull my hair out. QQ

here is a screen shot with the current values you see. Everything ... normal :/

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.
