I have to admit that at first I was skeptical about the value of such a thing, but I have seen the light. This program has a minimal memory footprint, is simple to use and makes my sometimes-cluttered UI look so, well, dress-right-dress. Being an old Army sergeant, I can immediately appreciate the control I have over my add-on placement. Many of you eyeball your UI into what looks like order, but Align can be the decisive element in your battle for a centered Totemus sphere.
Activating and deactivating the grid is controlled by one easy command:
/align
To change the size of the grid squares, simply put in a value. An example would be "/align 64". These values round to the next multiple of 32 and stop at 256. A lower value produces larger grid squares, while a larger value creates smaller squares.
For players using add-ons that change the action bars or allow one to move the minimap, Align may just be the thing you've been looking for. One feature that I think would come in handy would be the option to snap UI elements to the grid, which would just tickle my controlling nature. Give this one a run around the block and let me know what your thoughts are!

WOW Insider's comments strip out HTML. Anything between a left broken-bracket (less-than) and a right (greater-than) is removed from the final comment. Try reposting your comment without the broken-brackets. (Normal brackets - [] - should work fine.)

Sweet. Thanks for picking out a really unique and out of the box addon. I'd never have thought of this but I can immediately see the value. I have major UI OCD, so this is AWESOME for me.

ZOMG I've been wanting something like this for like FOREVER! I'm obsessive over my UI and it bothers me that things aren't aligned just right. I never thought I would see something like this. I'm gonna try it out when I play tonight. Then again, if I am trying this I probably won't be doing much playing :)

Nice addon, would love it much more if it had a snap option though.
