Target Nameplate Indicator attaches a texture to the nameplates of your target, mouseover and focus to make them easier to spot.

NOTE: As of 7.2, this AddOn no longer works for friendly nameplates in dungeons or raids. See this MMO-Champion article or this Wowhead article for Blizzard's original announcement of the change.

NOTE: This AddOn currently doesn't work with EKPlates, see this comment thread on CurseForge for details.

NOTE: If you want indicators to display for a unit, make sure you have nameplates enabled for that unit type. If nameplates are disabled, the indicators can't be displayed.

The AddOn now includes forty textures:

  • Red targeting reticule (the default texture, contributed by Dridzt)
  • Red arrow (contributed by DohNotAgain)
