    It doesn't have any pixel fonts by default. It's just aligned so that the individual elements of frames aren't blurred - something that's tricky to do with the default UI's nameplates without just disabling AA.

    That'll probably be an option, since it's simple to add.

    Would it be possible to offset the FontStrings by x 0.5 and y 0.5 in future updates? This stops the text from bouncing around

    Ohh, or better yet, custom Text Offset settings

    Thanks! Love the AddOn

    Me again Just wondering about something. What's the philosophy behind the Font Scaling your using?

    I'm currently using Pixel Fonts in my UI, and to keep the fonts on the Nameplates the correct size across all resolutions I set the Font Scale = (768 * Font Size Difference) / Screen Height. Like so:

    Lua Code:
    1. local kn = LibStub('AceAddon-3.0'):GetAddon('KuiNameplates')
    2. local screenHeight = string.match(({GetScreenResolutions()})[GetCurrentResolution()], "%d+x(%d+)")
    3. kn.db.profile.fonts.options.fontscale = ceil(((768 * (8 / kn.defaultSizes.font.name)) / screenHeight) * 100) / 100
    4. for key, _ in pairs(kn.defaultSizes.font) do
    5.     ScaleFontSize(key)
    6. end
    7. for _, frame in pairs(kn.frameList) do
    8.     kn.configChangedFuncs.fontscale(frame.kui, kn.db.profile.fonts.options.fontscale)
    9. end

    Perhaps an auto-scaling and default font size option in the future?
    Just a suggestion

    How can I move the y coordinate of the name text up or down slightly? It seems like I can change it for the trivial nameplates easily, but no matter what I do I can't modify the regular ones.

    Latest update is broke; you cant turn off cast bars no matter how many times you select it.

    Use custom.lua: rename Kui_Nameplates/custom-rename-me.lua to custom.lua, and insert this code (or whatever) after the line: "function mod:PostShow(msg, frame)":
    Lua Code:
    1. frame.name:SetPoint('LEFT', frame.level, 'RIGHT', -2, [your y offset])
    2. f.health.mo:SetAlpha(1)
    Assuming you have levels enabled. That particular code will break if you don't but I gather you can work that out. You'll also have to restart WoW to get it to recognise the new file, if you didn't already have a custom.lua.

    Because I set the parent differently depending on the setting of "fix aliasing", I have to scale everything down/up (i.e. divide it by UIParent:GetEffectiveScale()) in order to make everything look the same size whether fixaa is enabled or not. Specifically, when it's enabled I have to scale sizes up if you have a screen height of, say, 1080. For frame sizes, that's to keep things pixel-perfect - for fonts it's purely to make the size setting consistent, so you don't have to directly change the font scale option if you dis/enable fixaa. I may be able to get rid of all that scaling fuss in the next version, I'm not sure yet.

    Custom text offset: yes

    Verified. It's been a while, actually. Next version.

    Thanks!

    Excuse my ignorance, but what if I don't have levels enabled? I tried half an hour's worth of things and just managed to break it more and more hilariously as I went.

    Use this line instead:
    Lua Code:
    1. frame.name:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2, [your y offset])
    For reference, the function which creates the name text is at the bottom of create.lua.

    Hah, I had the right region just never the right combination of points. Works perfect! Thanks a bunch, love your addon.
