RyoUI - Nameplates

RyoUI is a performance-first nameplate addon for World of Warcraft Retail, built around one idea: show only what helps you act. It strips away decoration and nonessential information, leaving a clean, pixel-perfect interface focused on immediate, actionable combat feedback. The whole nameplate is responsive and interactable, with smooth transitions even in dense combat.

Features

• Class-colored pill-style friendly-player nameplates, optionally limited to dungeons and raids
• Priority-based, customizable health colors for reaction, threat, quests, unit classification, and player classes
• Tank-aware threat coloring with off-tank handling
• Clear cast states for normal, important, channeled, uninterruptible, interrupted, and completed casts
• Optional cast-bar pulses for important casts and casts targeting you
• Interrupt tracking that dims the cast bar and marks when your interrupt will become available
• Important-only or all-aura filtering, pandemic indicators, and highlights for purgeable Magic buffs and removable Enrages
• Encounter power bars, class-aware execute markers, and proximity aggro warnings
• Adaptive opacity for targets, mouseover, combat, and unengaged units
• Optional enemy-player nameplates with class-colored health bars
• Account-wide profiles with per-character assignments and import/export

Health-bar colors resolve in order of importance: tap status, threat, quest relevance, unit classification, player class, then reaction.

Settings

Open the settings with /ryo, /ryoui, or through the AddOns section of the game settings. Most visual settings update immediately; protected World of Warcraft nameplate settings are applied when combat restrictions allow.
