bdNameplates
bdNameplate are a lightweight replacement to the default nameplates. It adds a couple of great features to the new nameplates introduced in legion. But mostly it makes them not look like crap.
Support, Requests, Discussion all on the Discord Server
note: You need bdCore to use this addon, or any other bd_ addons
Features
Threat coloring (red for aggro, orange for danger, green for not)
Class coloring
Better target indication (higher alpha/white text)
Quick reskin to personal resource display
Custom aura tracking (in addition to default stuns/spells tracked by blizzard)
Friendly player name display with raid-relevant debuffs (customizable)
/bd config to access in game config
If you check "Friendly Names in Raid", the addon will change a cVar that will hide all default nameplates so that these names show up. If you uninstall bdNameplates, be sure to uncheck that box or run this command:
/script SetCVar('nameplateShowOnlyNames', 0)
To Do List
Finding a way to let nameplates be clickable on mouse down instead of up.
Shoutout to Zork for making this way better with oUF implementation

Posted Dec 13, 2018Healthbars don't update until you target the enemy for the first time. Been like this for a few weeks now.

Posted Sep 25, 2018With the latest version (2.43) healthbars no longer reflect enemy hp - the healthbar stays filled, even if the target is not at 100% hp. The only way to tell how much health they have left is through the healthbar text, making it very difficult to see just how much health they have left.

Posted Sep 9, 2018Hi there!
First, let me tell you how much I like this addon! It is simple and elegant! Thank You for making it!
...there is only 1, slight problem, I feel like the nameplates are way too close to the mobs, I mean vertically.
I'd like to move the name plates a bit higher, above the mob, because I feel like it's blocking my view of the mob a bit. Is it possible?
Also, I tried the "Vertical Spacing" option, but it did not work. I just want to re-position the nameplate a bit higher, that's all.
Thank You! :)

Posted Feb 1, 2018Is there a way to increase the amount of debuffs an enemy nameplate can have on one row before it goes to the next? The default of only two is nuts

Posted Dec 9, 2017The CVar being set in line 430 in core.lua ['nameplateShowDebuffsOnFriendly'] = 1
causes all sorts of errors for all addons (If you have friendly nameplates enabled) saying something along the lines of "something has been tainted by an addon", could you set it to 0 as default so people don't have to change it manually after an update?

Posted Dec 8, 2017There's a fix out for today's errors, but curse has had it "Under Review" for 2 hours, and that normally only takes 2 minutes.

Posted Dec 5, 2017How do i add debuff timer/countdowns on enemy nameplates? Currently it's just showing the icon and the gradual darkening of the icon as it runs out, but i would like for it to display a number countdown.
EDIT: After much trouble I found out that you can enable the countdown by ticking the "Show numbers for Cooldowns" checkbox in interface > ActionBars, however this causes issues with weakauras, causing them to display 2 cooldown counts. Would it be possible to have an option in the bd addon to enable this without blizzards intervention?
EDIT2: Managed to get it to work using OmniCC while preventing OmniCC and weakauras from interacting.
