This is a stripped-down version of the Grey Theme for Tidy Plates, which happens to be the default Tidy Plates appearance. Tweak this package without worrying about overwriting customizations when you update. OR, use this package as a starting point for creating your own theme.
Theme Design
For instructions on how to create/modify this theme, Check out the files, listed below. If you're interested in
graphical design, check out "Styles.lua" and everything under the Artwork folder. If you're more concerned
with dynamic features (like scaling and opacity), look at "Functions.lua".
This package is a work-in-progress. If you've got suggestions, or want to add an article, let me know. Also, if
you need a hand, send me a note: [email protected]

It's the same name as the folder. Coincidence? No! This is what the WoW client looks for when searching the
addon folders. Pay attention to the 'dependency' tag ;-)
Styles.lua
This file includes instructions for designing the nameplate appearance.
Functions.lua
