Note: This addon has been rewritten because of the changes to the quest tracker in WoD. Most everything has been re-implemented so far. (Button skinning has not been added yet, for example.)
KNOWN ISSUE: Blizzard's new quest tracker is very delicate and taints very easily, not allowing you to use quest items from the tracker itself. If this happens and a window pops up, click "Ignore". You can use one of several available addons to use quest items. I use the quest items ring on OPie, for example, or there is also QuickQuestItem or ExtraQuestButton or QuestItemButtonFix.
This addon will add many improvements to the new quest tracker frame. The slash command is /wfww. You may also alt-click the tracker's collapse button to access the options.
Features:
- allows the quest tracker to be moved wherever you please
- quest tracker will collapse in whichever direction it's anchored to (just up or down in WoD currently)
- quest tracker remembers collapsed state
- option to have scrollable quest tracker
- adjust the scale of the quest tracker
- adjust the font, font size, font flag (outline, etc.), or remove shadow
- option to remove the art behind the section titles
- adjust the spacing between lines (disabled in WoD currently)
- give the quest tracker a background and/or border (border can be class-colored)
- optional support for rActionButtonStyler to skin quest item buttons
- adds a tooltip for quests to display their objective text
- allows you to minimize/maximize (toggle) the tracker via keybind
- option to automatically collapse the tracker when entering an instance or during pet battles
- shortcuts added to the collapse button (toggle Quest Log, Achievement Frame, addon's options)
- global or character specific profiles
History:
With the new quest tracker losing its ability to be moved freely, I set about adding support for it back into my minimap addon,
PocketPlot. But it just wasn't as simple anymore with the way it was coded. So, I set out to create a standalone addon (or at least a module for PocketPlot). Originally named Movable WatchFrame, I started adding other features to the addon. Then I had to change its name, because it did much more than just moved the tracker. Thanks to Recompense for suggesting "Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?"

These are other addons to enhance your questing experience which are tried and tested with WFWW. If you know of any more, let me know via PM and I can add them to this list.
- Quelevel: Adds quest levels to the tracker, quest log, and gossip frames
- Jobs'a'goodn: Plays sounds upon completion of quests and their objectives
- QuestRouterLite: Adds the game's quest POIs to the minimap and works with TomTom to create waypoints for them automagically
- TomTom: Allows you to set waypoints to destinations including a new feature to automatically show the way for quests
- LightHeaded: Shows comments from the Wowhead website's quest database in a window attached to your quest log frame.
Known Issue:
If you alter the font size too much, you may have to reload your UI in order to have the quest tracker redrawn. Some text may also overlap if it flows onto a second line. In this case, consider adjusting the whole frame's scale instead.
