:There is no official support for modifying the WoW interface. If you experience any issues with the interface after modifying it, you can disable any unofficial add-ons and changes in the AddOns menu at the character selection screen. Blizzard Technical Support cannot assist with setting up any kind of interface modification. However, you can find information for developing or installing add-ons in the [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/1011693/ UI and Macro forum (US)] or [http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/874706/ Interface and Macros forum (EU)] on the World of Warcraft community website ([http://us.battle.net/wow/en/ US], [http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/ EU]).
