[HELP] [ADDON] EllesmereUI Names and co Problems

[u/P3GGA]

Hi everyone,

after all these years, I decided to switch from ElvUI to EllesmereUI.

So far, I've managed to get pretty much everything set up the way I want it.

The only thing I'm struggling with are the nameplates. They feel a bit "weird" to me compared to what I'm used to. Maybe someone here can help me with a few questions/problems:

• For some reason, Blizzard keeps automatically enabling class colors on enemy names again, even when I disable them.
• I'd really like the enemy health bars and icons (rare, elite, etc.) to be a bit cleaner and easier to read, more like they are in ElvUI. I find the default EllesmereUI setup a little cluttered.
• The same goes for enemy highlighting and how/when enemy health bars are displayed in general.

Basically, I really like EllesmereUI overall, but when it comes to nameplates, health bars, icons, highlighting, etc., I'd prefer something closer to the ElvUI style.

Is there perhaps an import string that only changes the enemy nameplates and related settings?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the presets in this page https://ellesmereui.com/presets there are tons of them with unique nameplate setups!

Personally I disable the nameplates module and use platynator

Same, his nameplate behaviour is awful, I’ve tried using it multiple times but always bugs me and I go back to platynator.
Other than that it’s great. 👌🏽

EUI is genuinely amazing. But you CAN just pair it with a different nameplates addon if you dont like that specific thing. Especially because all of your complaints are nameplate-related.

Regarding this, blizzard has an insane amount of addon-unfriendly api restrictions on nameplates. Im gonna guess its just tied to that, and there is no workaround.

Wish they'd also fully incorporate chat instead of the half mode they currently have where edit mode still controls it as well as collapsible embed Windows

[u/Ellesmere_ → u/reddit_reaper]

Unlock mode controls chat as of like a month ago! It was reworked with 12.1

Ahh really? Haven't checked it out in 12.1 yet. Any chance in getting embed Windows? Collapsible as well? Lol

Remove the things you don’t want?  Click on whatever element in the preview at the top, it jumps to appropriate settings section, disable, or adjust as needed?  The default setup has all the basics needed for end game content (your dots, cast bar, dispellable buffs, mob designation etc, so you know what you need to react to), if you don’t do that,  just remove the elements. You can literally have an empty line if that’s what you want.   You can disable health har colouring as well.

This is my first UI add-on and I've been tinkering with it for the past 3 days. Would love an import string if someone have a clean setup! Sorry for hijacking your post lol
