This is how the nameplates look.
Old version, look of the class icon.
ncNameplates
ncNameplates is a nameplates modifier addon. There are a lot of nameplate modifiers out there, but this one has the unique function of adding class icons to the nameplate. Well, this isn't completely unique, because Aloft can do this too, but I wanted a lightweight addon that can do this because Aloft is 3MB. Credit to Caellian, pretty much completely copied his code, adapted the fonts, textures and a little mechanics and ofcourse added the class icon.

Upcoming features:
- None, but I'm going to completely rewrite the code when I have time
Suggest features!

Usage:
Install and go! If you want a bigger fontsize, different font or bartexture, open ncNameplates/ncNameplates.lua and edit line 1-7. That's all there is!

I'm looking to change the texture of the bars, but I don't know much about making addons.

Basically, what I want it the bars and font to look like the standard blizzard ones, I'm just using the addon for the class icons.

Do I have to copy a .tga file into the folder for the bar texture? Or can I just erase the parts in the lua file that modify the bar and just keep the part that adds the class icons?

Thanks!

Open ncNameplates.lua and find the following lines and change them to your liking:
Code:
	self.healthBar:SetHeight(10)
	self.healthBar:SetWidth(100)

You can't unless you edit the Lua code yourself. Why would you want to remove the icon anyway? It's really helpful to determine where your enemies are, especially in arena.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've looked at the Lua files for both and can't seem to figure it out. Any insight is appreciated, even if it's just for removing the class color from names alltogether. This is a great addon and I thank you for it.

Correct, I really tried to make it look pixelated.

Hey there Nightcracker, Ferous here. I was curious as to why when I change the Font and such in the lua:

Code:
-- CONFIG
local glowtexture = "Interface\\Addons\\ncNameplates\\blank2"
local font, fontSize, fontOutline = "Interface\\Addons\\ncNameplates\\font", 12, "OUTLINE"
local bartexture = "Interface\\Addons\\ncNameplates\\flat"
it makes it look like this, and I can't seem to figure out why I can't change your code :O

Yes I am a noob to Lua, though I know the basic things to change stuff >.>

edit - I changed the font to Roadway and then just deleted the old font and renamed Roadway to font.
edit x 2 - For some stupid reason.. it is working now! >.<

Disregard the post above :O

Great addon! I suggest changing the "MONOCHROME" default to "OUTLINE"
The monochrome makes it look really pixelated and stuff.
