I have a LOT of trouble reading the odd purple/blue colour that WoW uses for player nameplates. I have to be pretty much on top of someone to make them out, and even then I struggle, it's just not a colour I can read well.

1. Better Name Plate Addons Download

I tried looking in the options to see if I had the ability to change this colour to something else, but I couldn't find this anywhere.

Apr 28, 2013  The name plate was made exactly as requested and in a timely manner. The staff contacted me by email right after the order was placed to get all the necessary information (color, font, etc.). The plate was made immediately and received quickly. I love the addon first of all, but in my attempt to try out new classes I accumulated a lot of profiles on the addon and the dropdown menu is very cluttered. I was wondering if there is a way to delete a profile from the addon. I tried using the delete a profile at the bottom, but they still show up in the dropdown.

Is there any way I can change the colour? I'd not be opposed to a mod to change it if it came to that, but I'm new to WoW, so I don't know what's all possible. Ideally, I'd like to not have to deal with a modpack, as I find those incredibly overwhelming to try to deal with, as they often have WAY too many options and I struggle with finding what I want, I get upset, and I give up.

(If I can find a way to change other nameplates too, that would be excellent - I do find the lime green a little tricky, but the blue/purple is the absolute worst.)

I haven't played WoW for a long time, but when I played there used to be a ton of UI mods, which allowed you to configure the UI any way you wanted and I doubt that changed.

Curseforge is a great source for those addons.

WoW Interface is as well.

For your problem in particular one of those three might help:

I'd actually suggest Elvui, because you can adjust your complete interface with it and it has a great support.

In your particular case it could look like this:

You can enable or adjust:

• Class color
• Health bar
• Cast bar
• Character level
• and others

When you have it installed just type /ec and select NamePlates. There you can set the font face and size of several texts and other designs and select which ones you want to have customized (friendly players, enemy players, friendly npc, enemy npc, etc.) and even customize each of them separately (like displaying health bars, level, castbars,...).

PS: If you can't see them (regardless of the addon you're using) just press CTRL + V to toggle friendly nameplates.

I admit, this special setting is hidden pretty well. Here you go:

Disable class colors - they're on by default:
