NetherBars – Nameplates & Unit Frames

NETHERBARS
Nameplates and unit frames that come alive.

Formerly AetherBars. Same addon, same author, a new name. Update as usual and your themes, colours, profiles and positions come with you on your first login.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

43 THEMES THAT MOVE

Health bars swirl like liquid. Clockwork gears turn. Your target's crest has a life of its own: the skull's eyes burn, the flask smokes, the sun shines, the blood drop swirls and drips. Every texture is original and made for NetherBars.

- The Nether families: It Burns When I Plea, Nether Reliquary with eleven palettes, Spectrum, Matrix Terminal, Classic Obsidian and Nether Classic
- All eight PRISM materials
- Classic Vanilla, Nether Flat, Modern Midnight and Forever Native
- 25 originals, including Astral Observatory, Obsidian Cathedral, Sunforged, Moonwell Glass, Arcane Reactor, Felbrand, Void Lattice, Titanforged Vault, Rimewarden, Dragonscale, Clockwork Meridian, Illuminated Codex and Spectral Lantern

Open the gallery with /nbars and see every theme live on three preview plates before you choose.

NAMEPLATES FOR EVERYTHING

Enemies, enemy totems, NPCs, friendly players, friendly totems and pets. Switch each kind on or off and give each its own theme.

- Class-coloured health for players and reaction colours for everyone else
- Names, levels with difficulty colours, elite and boss crests and raid marks
- Your debuffs above the name
- Cast bars with the spell icon, name, time left and a shield when it can't be interrupted
- Your target stands out in the theme's own style while other plates dim
- Friendly players and NPCs can show their name only, or hide entirely, in or out of combat

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

UNIT FRAMES TO MATCH

Player, pet, target, focus and target of target, drawn in the same theme: your portrait inside a ring made for it, a level badge, themed health and resource bars, cast bars, crests over elites and bosses, and your target's debuffs. Unlock them and drag them anywhere.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MAKE IT YOURS

- Theme Customization: a colour picker for every part of every theme, per kind of plate and for the unit frames
- Profiles: account-wide snapshots you can save, load, rename, export and import as codes
- Health numbers: current, percent or exact current and max
- Accessibility: high contrast, reduced motion, reduced glow, larger text, thicker bars, stronger target highlight, solid backgrounds and colour-blind modes
- Animation speed: from a gentle drift to full motion, or turn decoration off

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BETTER TOGETHER WITH NETHERUI

With NetherUI installed, NetherBars follows your Nether theme automatically and its settings are drawn in Nether's own art. Choose in NetherUI's Addons tab whether NetherBars handles the nameplates, the unit frames or both. Pick a theme of your own any time; /nbars follow switches back.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THEME PACKS

Artists can add their own themes to the gallery. A complete example pack, Tidewrought, is included in the download to copy and build on.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MADE FOR MIDNIGHT

Built for the Midnight API that WoW: Forever runs on. Health, casts, names and auras keep working in combat, in instances and in PvP.

Running another nameplate addon? NetherBars notices once per login and offers to switch it off for you. It never touches another addon's files or settings.
