Restrictions

While in combat:

• Programatic modification of macros or bindings is not allowed.
• Some things can't be done on "Protected" frames, their parents, or any frame they are anchored to. These include, but are not restricted to:
  • Hiding the frame using Hide widget method.
  • Showing the frame using Show widget method.
  • Changing the frame's attributes (custom attributes are used by Blizzard secure templates to set up their behavior).
  • Moving the frame by resetting frame's points or anchors (movements initiated by user are still allowed while in combat).
