# 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.
