Warning Glow: Add different styles for warning glow

- To be fair there is a thing called "warning glow for threat" in "healthbar view" , but on the one hand it doesn't "glow" in the right colour even when you select it and on the other hand that is no "real glow", like pixel glow. It's hard to notice.
- So could anyone elaborate on that issue ?
- So, having said that, I wrote a weak aura that just attaches on nameplates and does a pixel-glow effect on them depending on which of the 8 marks has been applied to that unit.
- And that's exactly what I want right now, I find it very easy to see now if I lose aggro via the threat-plates aggro system (colouring the nameplate depending on threat level) and the custom glow around a marked nameplate via my weak aura (since that option doesn't exist in threat plates, you can only change the colour of the nameplate itself based on the colour).
- A screenshot of how it looks like now:
- So as you can see I'm using the inbound threat plates function to colour the name of the unit based on the marker via healthbar-view and in addition to that you see the marker icon on the left side (also threat plates) and the glow effect caused by my weak aura.
- Whether other players like to have that marker glow effect or not I don't know, for me it was a nice little project writing the weak aura and it helps me immensely to find the right kick-target in a bigger pull when playing tank and having to hold aggro at the same time.
- I do get that implementing such a glow effect in the future as seen on the screenshot may cause a high workload or isn't possible at all at the moment, but since I have my solution it's fine for me if you just close this issue and address more important topics.
