Plater Nameplates for WoW Classic — Addons · WoW Classic

Overview

Plater replaces the default nameplates, the bars shown above characters, with ones you can style and arrange in detail. Its author describes it as a nameplate addon for advanced users: beyond its settings, a scripting system lets you change how plates look and behave, and there is a published scripting guide.

Who it's for

Players who want detailed control over nameplates and don't mind spending time in the settings.
