The Quest Helper and Quest Tracker lock independently and default to unlocked. Locking blocks dragging and mouse resizing, but numeric position and size settings remain usable. Lock choices are saved in RQE's profile data with the other settings.
The Config Window examples below show frame and preview layout, font presets, and profiles. The screenshots are from the Azure & Gold interface; available settings may vary by client.
Open Themes from AddOn Settings or the Config Window to choose Basic or Azure & Gold. The two previews show the Quest Helper and Tracker in each theme. Switching themes updates the visible frames without a UI reload; if you are in combat, the change applies when combat ends. The choice belongs to the active profile.
With Azure & Gold selected, the Themes page also shows separate card-style controls for Follower, Normal, and Heroic dungeons, timed scenarios, Delves, and Torghast. Each group previews its selected artwork and has its own Reset button. These choices are saved with the profile; compare all card styles in the Tracker gallery.
Open Frame Settings → Tracker Section Order in either settings interface. Use Up and Down to rearrange Scenario, Campaign/Meta, Normal Quests, World Quests, Bonus Objectives, Task Quests, Profession, and Achievements. Changes apply immediately and are saved with the active profile. Restore default order returns to the original arrangement.
Each Tracker section except Scenario also has a header chevron to collapse or expand its contents independently. See Quest Helper and Tracker for an illustrated example.
Frame Settings → Mythic/Scenario Mode chooses the tracker used in scenarios, including Mythic dungeons. Leave it unchecked (the default for new profiles) to keep RQE's Quest Tracker active and show supported live stage widgets in its Scenario section. Check it to use Blizzard's Objective Tracker during scenarios; RQE returns to its usual tracker afterward. This choice is saved with the active profile. See the illustrated scenario guide for Torghast, Superbloom, and Delve examples.
With Azure & Gold active, long content gets narrow, draggable colored scroll thumbs: gold on the Quest Helper and Quest Tracker, blue inside Separate Focus. The thumb length reflects how much of the content is visible, with a minimum grab size. The standalone Config Window has a gold thumb regardless of the theme chosen for the other frames. Mouse-wheel scrolling works as well. The colored thumbs do not appear for empty content, and the Quest Helper/Separate Focus themed thumbs are hidden in the basic appearance.
The minimap button and a compatible Data Broker display offer the same main actions: left-click toggles frames, right-click opens a menu, shift-left-click toggles the Debug Log, and shift-right-click opens AddOn Settings. You can show or hide the minimap button and adjust its position in General Settings.
