Change / Improve name Plate health Bars (the ones that float above players heads)

Hi there....

I was watching a vid on warcraftmovies land saw this video.... I tried to get a screenshot of it but it may not be clear.. here it is though...



See how the floating nameplates look really cool, and have the class icon on them...

1) What mod is that?
2) Is there a mod that could also put buff/debuffs on that floating nameplate bar?

Thanks in advance

<--- EDIT

I tried NamePlateAdvanced but is has so many options and no way to show test bars as far as i can see so it is near impossible to set up ...... any other options besides that?

All I want really is
  • a nice good looking Healthbar
  • A Mana Bar
  • Class icon and/or Class coloured bar
  • Name of target Text
  • Debuffs + Buffs

Also maybe and option to change size and stuff as well as a cast bar (for interrupts) might be nice

Also, if you're trying to set up a nameplate addon that's configurable, you can go to, say, the AH in Orgrimmar or Stormwind, and hit Shift+V to turn on Friendly nameplates - this will show all the other players plates, as well as those of the auction npc's.

To be precise it's the Tidy Plates: Threat Plates theme which is downloaded separately.
Here is the latest beta that works with the last version of Tidy Plates:
Tidy Plates: Threat Plates Beta

I use it for tanking mostly and it is maybe the best theme for Tidy Plates for that job

There's no way of determining whether or not it's TidyPlates or TidyPlates: ThreatPlates based on the image, since the player is fighting in PvP against other players without any aggro lists. However, with TidyPlates (no need to bog down your memory with a second addon) the OP will get all of the functions shown in the picture and asked for in the first post.

You can get a similar look by using the Neon theme that's included in the main TidyPlates download. It's a simple, bright bar that changes color based on threat/pvp status.

TP comes with 5 themes - 4 of them are threat-reactive.
Threat-reactive:
  • Grey/DPS
  • Grey/Tank
  • Neon/DPS
  • Neon/Tank

Normal:
  • Graphite

I've actually started using the Neon theme over the ThreatPlates theme, simply because it's not nearly so massive, and the color changes are very obvious.
