If you don't like a new look or a particular change, there is nothing stopping you from learning LUA and making your own alterations. It's not the addon author's job to coddle you.

5) Open the .lua file for caelNamplates and edit this line.

Code:
 (local font, fontSize, fontOutline = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\Accidental Presidency.ttf]=], 9, "OUTLINE"
The name must be spelled correctly with proper spaces and punctuation to match the .ttf file you placed in the media folder.

As a note to the author you may want to update the information on your download page to reflect whats in the current download.

Also, Ive managed to replicate the size of your previous release that I liked but the skin dosent look the same, or maybe its the glow, any help?

Thank you.

Does anyone remember the exact settings and skins for the previous release (the slim ones in the current screen shots)? I loved the last one, all I wanted to change was the disable/enable on combat and remove the neutral nameplates.

I have messed with the settings , but can't seem to replicate the look or find where I would delete the neutral name plates.

Any chance I could get CC bar timers to show up under nameplates somehow such as for cheap shot and kidney shot?

thanks

Also thank you for correcting the combat enable/disable. I would however be interested in what line I need to edit to make the height of the bars slimmer like in your previous release.

Thanks.

How much trouble would it be to make it an option to disable toggle nameplates, thus make everyone happy?

Thank you.
