WoW:Removing Blizzard default frames
General about hiding frames
To hide a frame, you have to enter the frame name, followed by the command :Hide()
Example:
MyFrame:Hide()
Hides a frame called "MyFrame".
If you use this in a Macro (not in an Addon), you have to add a /script-tag before:
/script MyFrame:Hide()
Addon:
MyFrame:Show()
Macro:
/script MyFrame:Show()
In the following there are listed some frames you might want to hide:
Unit Frames
Player Window
The Player window in the upper left that is always shown for yourself is PlayerFrame.
