Threat Plates (TP for short) is an addon for customizing your nameplates. It offers a high amount of customization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. I've spent a considerable amount of time improving this addon and any comments or concerns about this addon are appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve it.
Features
- All the standard nameplate features like healthbar, name, castbar, coloring (e.g., based on threat), scaling and transparency and so on.
- Two different modes for nameplates: Healthbar View (show healthbar and name) and Headline View (show only name)
- Customizable totem nameplates
- Custom styles for nameplates for extra customization for units based on name, auras or casts.
- Automatic spec detection and role assigning for an easy out of the box setup
- Support for profiles per spec
- Support for LibSharedMedia (adding additional fonts, textures and sounds) and LibDogTag (markup language support for custom texts)
- And lots of options...
Chat Commands
- /tptp: Displays options
- /tptp profile <name>: Switch the current profile to <name>
- /tptp legacy-custom-styles: Adds (legacy) default custom styles for nameplates that are deleted when migrating custom nameplates to the current format
- /tptp help: Prints this help message
- /tptptoggle: Toggle Role from one to the other
- /tptpdps: Toggles DPS/Healing threat plates
- /tptptank: Toggles Tank threat plates

Additional Information
Version for WoW Classic
A port of Threat Plates for WoW Classic is available here: Threat Plates (Classic).
Version for WoW TBC Classic
A port of Threat Plates for WoW TBC Classic is available under the files tab: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates/files. Look for the latest version for game version 2.5.1.
Scripting (Beta)
Scripting is a new feature of Threat Plates that will be introduced in a future version. It allows you to extend the functionality with custom Lua scripts. Once the feature is finished, you should be able to change all aspects of nameplates. Currently, functionality is still restricted to a high degree as internal functions of Threat Plates ( like, e.g., scaling) are not easily accessible to these scripts. So, overwriting or changing them to, e.g., implement custom scaling is not that easy or may even be impossible right now.
More details as well as the current beta version are available here.

10.x seems to need a update. It does work a bit in the df beta but giving errors
In reply to axejess:
I am aware of that. I don't have beta access, so I can only test this version on the PTR where it does work. Can you more specific about the errors? It does not seem to be as obvious as what is reported here: https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/issues/351
WOTLK Classic - No way to color neutral names? They are red since I made enemies that color.
In reply to morganmode:
Currently, there is only a setting for name color for friendly and enemy (including neutral) units if you use a custom color. You can color based on the units reaction. It's another option under General - Names. Then you can change the color for neutral units under General - Colors. It will change the neutral color also for healthbars if you use reaction-based coloring. The same is true for headline view.
The enemy nameplate stays too dim, even after targeting and attacking it.
How do I make targeted nameplates 100% bright?
In reply to ImmortalCali:
With dim, do you meant that they are too transparent and changing when entering in combat (which could be fixed by changing the transparency settings, e.g. by disabling threat transpararency under Threat System - Transparency) or the colors of the healthbar? In the latter case, you could try a different texture as certain textures make healthbars look darker than the actual color selected.
Hi, I want to get rid of the white border that surrounds the threat plate health bar.
Please help me on removing the white border. Thank you
In reply to ImmortalCali:
You mean the white border on the current target nameplate, right? You can disable that under Widgets - Target Hightlight.
Thank you so much! Using this for like 10 years from first wotlk. Near perfection. Small issues with "blizzard settings" (Clickable area etc), but still, the game would never have been so good without this.
In reply to Ar4i:
Thanks a lot, Ar4i. I saw your issue regarding the clickable area and commented there. Still a bit to investigate that, though.
is there a way to do this:
show enemy nameplates
show friendly nameplate only if its a target/focus
How to show NPC names with addon?
In reply to segoitch:
You mean like in no healthbars, but only names? You can switch nameplates for NPCs to headline view. To do that, enable nameplates for NPCs first under General - Visibility (enemy and/or friendly), then enable headline view for NPCs under General - Headline View.

In reply to segoitch:
Yes, that's called headline view in Threat Plates. You can configure it as explained above.
Castbar scaling with nameplate scaling? I can't seem to find an option to do this, if it's not currently available any chance it could be added? Even a check box that would allow the castbar to receive the same scaling when the nameplate scales? Thanks.
In reply to ogpwnytail:
Castbar and nameplate (healthbar) are both scaled when scaling is enabled, so it should be exactly as you want it to be.
Hey there! I can not seem to figure how to change the size of my debuffs on the over the enemys nameplate. For ex serpent sting.
any help would be appreciated
In reply to trismic17:
The options for this are under Widgets - Auras - Debuffs. Assuming you use icon mode, first select Custom as icon style. Otherwise, the settings are locked. After that, you can change the debuff size (icon height/width).
Love the addon thank you
