  Alright.
  
  The posting of errors seems to be the hardest part on the forums or discord. So let's cover if it should be considered a error or just ignore it.
  
  If the message begins with ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED it is a Taint which never blames the right addon and is generally dismissive as an error. These are the hardest ones to diagnose because you guys have about 100 addons enabled and then it says...

  Had a request by someone to allow non Pixel Perfection for my UI..only issue is that doing so causes my added Panels & Datatext below the Actionbar to not adjust with the new size.
  The simple code would be:
  
  However you can't do this outside a hooksecur function because it throws an error because it can't access the Actionbars. However placing the panel creation in the Actionbar function...

  Is the WorldMapFrame no longer moveable? I always used to anchor in the upper left hand corner. Now it's stuck about half way down and I can't seem to get it to move.
  I figured this snippet would reposition it but noithing..
  
  I added the Movers option which lets me move it manually, but if I open and close it, it resets itself to the default position.

  Most likely you need to unregister it from the Blizzard element that handles UI element positions. I think part of the name is actually UIElements or UIPanels but not entirely sure.

  Is there an easy way to hide player frame in party/raid or can this be coded in somehow? in Elvui.

  There is no easy way to do that, and I don't have any instructions on how to do that. A workaround is to use a different profile for party/raid with player unitframe disabled, and then swap to/from that profile.

  An edit just implies that you will be doing a lot of cosmetic changes and layout changes, while a plugin is more functionality than anything else. Essentially it's the same thing, and you code them to work with ElvUI in the same way.
  
  Regarding how you make them respond to changes in a GUI then you can check out the plugin framework about how to...

  I just remembered that the _REGEN_ events might fire a bit too early or too late. For example when going into combat, the _REGEN_DISABLED will fire too early before you are actually locked down in combat. It's possible that the UnitAffectingCombat API is returning an unreliable value because of that.

  It is not a simple edit. I don't have any instructions to share, but it would require hooking the function responsible for showing it, and also setting a script to register the mouse event on the frame.

  You could create the first frame with the NoBackdrop template. That should give you a panel that is essentially just a border. Then create a 2nd frame with the class color template and position it inside the first frame. Then you can use any height you want.

  So now the question is more in the ways of how do I add this to an external edit and get it to work? So that I dont have to manually paste the code into the api
