Meant for both :P. The Curse updater has gotten really good, and it's nice to have a one-stop source for all my addons. I know a few authors have taken to uploading to Curse as well, and just disabling comments on their addon to prevent needing to monitor two threads for it.

You can't with this addon. it behaves exactly like the default Blizzard nameplates, color wise.

Private servers are definitely not supported, nor condoned. I'm dumbfounded that you would even consider asking such a thing here.

You might first want to consider cleaning up some of the other interface clutter on your screen before you worry about something as simple as a boss tag on your nameplates blending in. I would start with the buff frames. It's a wonder you see anything at all.
