Level

Hi there! I was just fiddling around with health bar heights and moving the name up so it wasn't overlapping on the health bar, but then the level of mobs aren't appearing on the nameplates anymore. Any way I could fix that?

I just updated the addon and the plates don't seem to show. CaelMedia, CaelLib, CaelNameplates are all enabled but nothing...

Does anyone know how I would go about making the threatglow (red glowy border around the nameplate) larger? Or better yet, make it both larger and glow on targets i DON'T have aggro on? I assume there's some lines I can edit in the .lua to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love the look of this addon, I just need a better way to tell which mobs I have threat on and which I don't. Thank you.

Hey looks like cool addon, Im gonna download it when I get home.
By any chance is there any way of not displaying nameplates on pets and totems? I never attacke them anyways so having their plates on screen just spamming nameplates on the screen, and not having them will make it less confusing.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to get updated pictures whenever the actual look of the nameplates changes? I notice the picture being used is how the addon looked over a year ago, and what the addon currently looks like is not really anything like what is now pictured.

Cheers

is there a way I can turn off the shortening of mob names all together? I don't like it and would rather see the entire name on the nameplate.. Could someone point me in the right direction of what to edit in the lua?

Take a look at caelMedia/customFonts for instructions. The font name you'll want to override is CAELNAMEPLATE_FONT.

Can someone help me? I am trying to come up with a way that the nameplates will show either a little icon or a letter (just like the B for boss) but for quest mobs.

Your nameplates look fine. The screenshots for this addon haven't been updated in months, they represent an older version.
