Tidy Plates: Simple Theme

Here's another theme for Tidy Plates.

Try Skinner; It has nameplate abilities, and may be closer to what you're looking for.

Certain features will always come with a 'performance tax'. Both Tidy Plates and Aloft are packed with features that chomp the CPU. There are possibly other nameplate addons with different feature sets that require less CPU overhead, but you'll have to search for 'em.

Anyway, as additional information, about those plates, when I have alot of mobs with anmeplates my fps drop really hard, so what would be best way to "replace" only the blizz standard grpahics and maybe positionings, so that I don't have to hit the performance by installing nameplates addons?
Does tidy plates automatically hits the performance, or there is no nameplates addon that doesn't hit performance? Or do those sample themes do not hit performance at all?

The example you gave me about hiding original text and displaying other one will most likely hit the performance, but if text color wouldn't be hard coded, would be nice.

Adding the skull graphics is pretty easy, since the icon is already there, but hidden by default (since I don't like it). You can modify any theme to show it, and I can give you a hand with it, if desired.

Changing the graphics is a bit more complicated and time-consuming. I can also help you do that, too. I do most of my graphical design in Photoshop, but you could get some free software that would do the job. I have sample Photoshop and The Gimp files in the developer's sample.

Cheers!

The theme that is in the picture when hovering my mouse over the "Tidy Plates (3.3)" addon, do have the visual/color configuration that I like but I would really want the skull/elite graphics included, and the name of the mob to be inside the health bar, so that you can see better the plates in big aoe pulls. The lower the height of the plates, the better for targetting in aoe situations.

As for Aloft, after using it a few times the memory usage raises to 10 mb, and the moment I try to modify anything in the way the surrounding border looks like, it can crash the game. So I think it has something to do with modifying border, and with the selecting if you want that border applyed to target only or not.

Oh, and the ThreatPlates graphics are so bad, that I rather use the default blizzard theme.

Has a lot of options that aloft has. And the author plans to make name text a color that doesn't change when you're in combat. Tried aloft but it was crashing my game.

1. I need the Blizz standard Skull picture included, and positioned in the place where mob level is at the moment.

The two comments before yours are about adding the skull to your copy of the theme.

Quote:

2. I need the Blizz standard Elite skin included and positioned on it's own default place.

This theme uses a star icon rather than the dragon to indicate 'elite' status. It's part of the theme's cartoony character. You could edit the artwork to add the dragon, but I personally didn't want the dragon, hence the star.

Quote:

3. I need the name of the mobs in white, so that I can clearly see them.

You could do that with a little coding, by investigating some of the other themes. (Neon does this by hiding the original name text, and using the specialText field for the name;The Blizz UI changes the name text to red when a mob is in combat. )

Quote:

5. I want the health bars to be as low height as possible and the name text as big as possible, but with balanced dimensions so that the name allows me to see the health that they have.

You'd have to do some graphics editing. Yes, I read that you said that you don't draw, but doing a little copy/paste/stretch might not be so bad for ya. The Gimp is a pretty good option.

cerbul A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 37 Uploads: 0	This is the theme that is closest to my desires. Here is a lsit of what I need from a tidy plates theme. 1. I need the Blizz standard Skull picture included, and positioned in the place where mob level is at the moment. 2. I need the Blizz standard Elite skin included and positioned on it's own default place. 3. I need the name of the mobs in white, so that I can clearly see them. 4. I need also the theat glowing effect/castbar that this addon already has. 5. I want the health bars to be as low height as possible and the name text as big as possible, but with balanced dimensions so that the name allows me to see the health that they have. Anny plans to include those features? (is just too hard for me to draw anything to make my own theme :\| )

If anyone else wants to do this, I find the following values work better:

Code:

config.dangerskull = {
	width = 14,
	height = 14,
	x = -6,
	y = 0,
	anchor = "RIGHT",
}

Open up the theme.lua file, and scroll down to the bottom..

Add the green text...

Code:

config.frame = {
	width = 168,
	height = 24,
	x = 0,
	y = 0,
}

config.dangerskull = {
	width = 16,
	height = 16,
	x = 2,
	y = 2,
	anchor = "RIGHT",
}

config.options = {
	showEliteColor = false,
	showLevel = true,
	showName = true,
	showSpecialText = false,
	showDangerSkull = true,
}

if not TidyPlatesThemeList then TidyPlatesThemeList = {} end
TidyPlatesThemeList["Simple"] = config

I'm not sure if the skull will be in exactly the right place, so you may have to tweak the x/y/width/height values to your liking.

Does it consistently crash your client? What other addons are running? Skinner? Other nameplate addons?
