    it is probably too early, but there is an error on PTR servers:
    Code:

    Is there a way to turn up the Frame Update time? I've noticed while tanking, that when i taunt a mob, the aggro doesn't color as fast as i would like.
    Well the threat function is set to 0.2 sec, you can always lower it to 0.1 sec but i'm not sure if it's going to make much of a difference. Five times a second should be pretty accurate

    Thanks, a bit too "glowy" for my taste.
    I will probably just fork this and make it match my unitframes
    (Though I will probably not release it.. ever!)

    Actually, the basic idea will be to show the level only if different than the player's. But that'll come later, i need to fix my own UI first

    i.e. for those like <InnKeeper> etc?

    I've not seen a nameplate mod do that yet, would be nice. If not don't worry.
    Does the default Blizz name plates even do that?
