Bringing Back The Old Look & More

I started a thread on the enUS WoW Macro & UI forum about modifying these nameplates that I had loved in the past and will hopefully come to love once again (now that they're being updated). I cannot paste the entire post here as it's quite long so I'll just cross-link the URL.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3797710090

From reading these comments posted here on WoWInterface, it would seem there are a lot of people who would like to be able to bring back the "old look" that the main page pictures show. I believe I am close to doing so but, I require the old border texture that you had used back in the day. If you could supply me (us) with that old border texture I would be grateful.

Other modifications I was also looking to do were:
  • 1. Class Colored Health Bars For Raid/Party Members
  • 2. Put An Outline Around The Level and Name Fonts
  • 3. Darken Background Texture Behind Health Texture (Currently Way Too Bright)

Thanks.

Yes, I was getting spammed with both prints while running one of the new heroic dungeons, Well of Eternity. I commented it out and reloaded my UI after the Queen Azshara encounter.

That makes me curious, did you see it happen ? cuz the reason why i forgot about it is exaclty because i've never seen it happen again.

Thanks, it's working.

For those who are lazy, here is a link. If you don't trust, don't DL.

Is it somehow possible to disable the nameplates for all neutral critters etc... so that I only see the nameplates of hostile creatures/players... ?
