What it does
- Keeps Blizzard's own nameplates and adds settings on top: nameplate size, health bar width and height, fonts, textures, outline and the castbar.
- Colors nameplates by NPC name or ID, by an aura on the unit, or differently for your target and focus.
- Class icons on player nameplates, a party pointer arrow and a big highlighted icon for important totems and NPCs.
- Filters and sorts the auras on nameplates, with size and glow for the ones you care about.
- Hides or fades unwanted nameplates, or swaps them for a small murloc icon so you can still count them.
- Starts from ready-made profiles (a minimal Starter profile and several player profiles), and profiles can be imported and exported.
