Description

# Totem Nameplates for EllesmereUI

Totem Nameplates for EllesmereUI is an unofficial standalone companion addon that replaces Shaman totem nameplates with clean, configurable spell icons.

Enemy and optionally friendly totems can be displayed as icons only, removing the health bar, name and level from the nameplate. Important totems can use the same customizable glow styles available throughout EllesmereUI.

> **Requires [EllesmereUI](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ellesmereui) version 9.3.6 or newer.**

- Optional **Show on Friendly Totems** support.
- Removes the original name, health bar and level, leaving only the icon.
- Individual **Show Icon** setting for every supported totem.
- Individual **Important** setting for every supported totem.
- Important totems use EllesmereUI's native glow engine.

## Nameplate requirements

WoW must create a nameplate before the addon can place an icon on it.
