- Background and frame (optional)

Why download nBubble?
The standard speech bubbles in WoW have looked the same for years – blurry, stylistically outdated, and not designed for modern UI concepts. nBubble solves several problems at once:
Those who are active in role-playing games get clean, readable, visually appealing bubbles without the beige frame from 2004. The name above the bubble is clearly separated, and the text looks like a real comic bubble design.
Those who are on crowded servers or in cities can instantly recognize who is speaking thanks to class colors and icons – without mouseover and without clicking on the bubble.
Those who prefer a tidy interface can use the default configuration: no background, no frame, clean font, text floating directly above the character. Minimal, but informative.
If you use a custom UI (e.g., ElvUI, Tukui, or JiberishUI), you can perfectly adapt nBubble to your existing setup—the font, colors, and icon set fit in seamlessly, especially with the included JiberishUI class icons.
