I have a funky problem, after I redid my gui a little bit:

-When I resize my windows (for PiP), my unitframes (grid and pitbull) and some macaroon buttons are slightly moving (mostly to the left), and i have no idea why this might be the case?
-Has anybody an Idea what may cause this?

To clarify my situation a littlebit:
- all Windows are set in WoW to the resolution of 1280x960
- the size of the big window is 1280x960, the little ones are 640x480 and all are borderess.

I added images how the windows appear (and boxes in read and green) to illustrate the problem better:

I was just about to post about the same problem. I have my ui all set up. Connect with keyclone and everything screws up. Everything shifts to the left and I end up with blank spaces.

I'm wondering if making fake copies of wow will fix this. Though I'm not sure how to do it but have seen it mentioned some where.

Thought I would try using just one monitor. But that seemed to totally screw up my fps. I went from having 30-45 on my main's screen to 1-5 and had to had hard boot. Seems to be something with the maximizer for me. It just does not want to work right for me at all.

The only time I've had ui elements move when resizing windows is when I haven't had ui scale set in my video settings. I believe the default is to not use ui scale so if you just did a complete overhaul there's a good chance it's off. Check under "Game Menu"->"Video"->"Use UI Scale" and then set the slider. You might have to fiddle a bit to get it right and some ui elements will require you to reload ui when you're first setting it.

Nope checked that. UI scale is set to low. That isn't the problem at least for me.

When I use keyclone and switch screens everything screws up. Shifts to the left over sized, to small. I can load wow manually opening each client and I don't have a problem.
I can load with keyclone maximzer of course. And everything will look ok. As soon as I use the pip keys it screws it all up. =(

Thank you, Poetry, at least for me setting the ui scale, seemed to work :)
