Use the following command to revert to standard.

Code:
/script SetCVar( "bloattest", 0)
If I revert, nameplates disappear totally :/
Any idea how to fix this issue?

(Also I still get the "random nameplate heights" problem).
Perhaps I should just reinstall the addon, dunno.

if it's not to much to ask how do you change the font scale? atm they are slightly larger and i'd like to get them smaller.
It's the 16th line down.

Code:
local font, fontSize, fontOutline = caelMedia.fonts.CAELNAMEPLATE_FONT, 8, "THINOUTLINE"
Change the number to whatever you want.

For help I am very very grateful![/b]
You need to edit the follow lines;

Code:
	self.healthBar:SetHeight(caelLib.scale(3))
Code:
	self.castBar:SetHeight(caelLib.scale(3))
They will probably say 5 as default, set them to 3.

Seems like sometimes the nameplate size issue is fixed... and sometimes it's not. I've "undone" the bloattest thing, but I'm still finding that nameplates resize on their own and get fatter rather than stay slim as I have them set. I also spent most of the afternoon digging through the LUA file trying to tweek the look of the current version (which is a farcry different from the version I was used to - r12 i think?). I am exceptionally appreciative for your work on this addon... but good lord it's tough to tweek.

/console bloattest 0 i believe if 1 is for turning it on...

If I turn it off they never change height but I don't get them all.

Once again, it's on Blizzard!
