How to remove the threat glow around the border?

[Carly Koebel]

Hi, I am currently using Tidy Plates with the Clean plates theme. I
noticed a glow around the border, presumably this has to do with
weather or not the mob is targeting you or not (ie there is a red glow
if you have aggro on a mob). I am wondering if there is anyway to get
rid of this? I do not have threat plates installed and thus far I've
found no option to change this feature or turn it off.

Yep, the glow means, "You've got aggro". The Aggro (sometimes
mistakenly referred to as threat) Glow is part of the default Tidy
Plates feature set (Threat Plates not required). I'm not sure if
Clean Plates has a UI option to turn it off (It's not one of my
themes, actually), but it's possible to do it in the LUA file. Let me
know if you'd like to go ahead and mess with it.

Of note: Only one theme can be used at a time, so if you DID have
Threat Plates available but inactive, it wouldn't do anything.

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I am only using the clean plates
theme and as far as I've looked there is no option to disable the
threat glow (even when selecting "none" for the theme since figured
it might be an option that came with the "tank" or "dps" theme,
anyway). If you could walk me through how to edit that it would be
very much appreciated as I find the aggro glow a bit obnoxious and
painful on the eyes.

Yickes, busy week... just now getting to respond to Tidy Plates
stuff...

Ok, here's whatcha do:

Open up "normal.lua" (using a text editor of some sort. I like Notepad
++) from the CleanPlates folder, and scroll down to the bottom of the
file. Add the line, shown below...

config.options = {
showLevel = true,
showName = true,
showSpecialArt = true,
showSpecialText = true,
showSpecialText2 = true,
showSpecialText3 = true,
showDangerSkull = true,
showspellIcon = true,
showNostopSpell = true,
showAggroGlow = false, -- ADD THIS
}

You might have to open up some of the other lua files and make the
same change, but I'm pretty sure that should work.
