Oooo, I like your description of the red: Minty.. haha! My mouth feels fresher!
Right now, all customization is done via theme files; These are lua addons which define the images and positions of the elements. There's a development sample which describes the process, and plenty of existing themes to download and alter.

Re: Opacity question
Posted By: danltiger
I'll investigate the feature, though it doesn't seem too difficult. If this is a small alteration, then it's likely it will make it to the 5.9 release.
PS - Use the Feature Request thingy, please :-)

There's several ways that you can gather threat data, but mousing-over is the only completely reliable method (that I know of) to measure the threat on a large group, quickly. Certainly, there's ways of estimating things, and taking guesses at unit associations, but I don't really like those methods.
Now, once we've gotten the th...

If you're using a macro (or something that can be macro'd) you could do something like this:
/usetalents 2;1
/equipset Spec2Set;Spec1Set
/tidybeta tank
/stopmacro
/tidybeta dps
Regardless, I'll put it on the list of possible features. Might be something that's a necessary feature down-the-road, when I have more option...

Thanks for all the info.
I find the biggest obstactle I'm having is the lack of documentation on the API. The language is pretty simple, at least.
I'll futz around with it more when I can.

No offense taken; I realize there's no search feature for comments, which sucks.
About your feature request: The beta version may have what you're looking for. It doesn't allow you to set the second tank, but it will tell you who has top aggro on mouseover. Check out this video. (The video does not show the names, because i...

Are you using Skinner, or any other addons?
Gonna need help reproducing this error, since I haven't encountered it.
Did you delete the TidyPlates and TidyPlates_BetaGrey (and _StandardGrey, if you had it) folders prior to updating?
Also, you need to activate the threat widget (it's not active, by default) under the interface...

Right now, you can change the ScaleDelegate function in the theme file. I'll put a scale slider into the next update.

I really appreciate the kind words :-) And, I'll take any help I can get.
1) Here's the thing with nameplates: There's no Blizzard documentation telling us about them. Some clever person, a long time ago, figured out that there were frames being created by the Blizzard client under the WorldFrame object, which happened to be the...

Hi there :-)
Note: A good alternative to editing the appearance is downloading a theme file. Your plates look a lot like Sucidalkatt's Cleanplates.
"Is it possible to move nameplate a little bit higher above npc?"
Yes, you'd have to edit the offset for each of the graphical elements. I'd suggest taking a look at the Designer...

Pop open the lua file for Simple (it's theme.lua)..
And paste this code just under the 5th line...

Kat is correct, but you may find that it's gives false negatives in 5.8, which is why I don't suggest it just yet.
If you're interested in trying it right now, I recommend that you change the alpha to a low value (.2 or .3) rather than setting it all the way to 0.
This can be accomplished by editing the lua file for the theme y...

Posted By: danltiger
It's possible, but not quite yet; We can distinguish targeted nameplates from untargeted ones by looking at the opacity. Oddly, the Blizzard engine applies the nameplate opacities AFTER the event handlers are called.... so, when the target is switched, the opacity change happens AFTER all the events are called (which trigger the pl...

Posted By: danltiger
Here's the thing; We get the aggro status by looking at the texture on the Blizzard nameplate that shows up when you've got aggro. If that image is hidden glow, we consider it No Aggro/Low Threat.
Several revisions ago, I'd tested out hiding of units which were not in combat. It was inconsistent, but I would like to get it worki...

In DPS mode, they SHOULD be getting bigger... at least, that's what happens for me. Hmm... I'll look into it.
In Tank mode, it's intended that yellow/neutral creatures are hidden. (esp in Gundrak - haha)
I'll also consider the stance switching, but that'll be a future feature. Slash commands will be in 5.9, which you cou...

Re: Re: Re: X-ref target frame/name plate?
Posted By: danltiger
The GUID (global-unitid) I refer to is a unique number that identifies a specific unit in the game world.
The API function:
guid = UnitGUID("unit")
However, the API functions that we can use to gather information ask for a unitid.
status = UnitThreatSituation("unit")
They don't like that global-unitid, sadly. If I've g...

Re: X-ref target frame/name plate?
Posted By: danltiger
No, you're not crazy; It's quite possible to get a unitid by tabbing through each of them. Of course, that unitid would only last for the duration of the targeting; As soon as you change targets, it's a different unit for your "target" unitid. I'm talking mobs, of course. Party members have their own unitids.
Keep in mind, a uni...

Re: ActivateTheme?
Posted By: danltiger
ActivateTheme will load a parsed theme... which is not what you want. To load your theme by default, use something like:
TidyPlatesOptions.theme = "CP"
You'll need to do that after variables are loaded but before player login.

Re: Re: Turn off & Re: Mana bar?
Posted By: danltiger
Like I mentioned, it's possible to show it for your current target (and for your group members, since they have unitids + unique names). From what I recall, Aloft shows a mana bar for the current target, only.
PS - I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this feature in the next release. ;-)

Re: Mana bar?
Posted By: danltiger
Really, there's no way to add mana bars for all units. You could have one for the current target, or one that's being moused over, but otherwise, there's no way to associate the mana to the unit. You need to be able to use the function UnitMana(unitid), which requires a unitid as an operator. Unitids are pretty limited. And, the...

If you can't see any nameplates at all, it's probably some addon that's trying to be helpful by turning the plates on and off. Just guessing.
