Name Tab

Name Tab
The Names tab is where you enable or disable names for a frame, and set them up.

• Colour debuff names by type will disable the Debuff colour option and colour the names purple for curses, brown for disease, etc.
• The Help button brings up a frame explaining how to format names so that they look like you want them to
• The name position box arrows allow you to move the names around their anchors one pixel at a time. Holding down the alt key while clicking the arrows will move the names ten pixels at a time
• The frame level slider allows you to change the z-order of the names to make sure they are on top of icons, bars, and other elements

Name Help
(This is found in game by clicking the Help button on the Name tab)

There are three valid elements for a name:

Name - How the effect's name will be displayed
Rank - How the effect's rank will be displayed
Count - How the effect's count will be displayed

An example: Name[full] Rank[Roman] Count[(always)]

In this example, all the possible elements are displayed:
Name[full] - Show the full effect name (e.g. Arcane Intellect)
Rank[Roman] - The effect's rank will be displayed as a roman numeral
Count[(XXX)] - The effect count will always be displayed, enclosed in parentheses ()

This format will make a effect name formatted like this: Arcane Intellect VI (1)

Element Formatting
An element always takes the form of Element[stufftodisplay]

Each element type will have valid keywords that will be replaced with effect-specific data. You may place whatever text you wish inside an element tag to go with the keywords that are substituted and it will be reproduced exactly.

For example: Count[(always)] vs. Count[always]
When the always keyword is substituted, Count[(always)] will display as (6)
When the always keyword is substituted, Count[always] will display as 6

When the roman keyword is substituted in Rank[Rank roman], it will display as Rank IV

Name Element
There are three valid keywords for the name element:

full - The effect's full name (e.g. Mark of the Wild)
short - The effect's name shortened (e.g. MotW)
xshort - The shortened name, even shorter (e.g. MW)
trunc:X - The effect's name truncated at X characters from the beginning
chop:X - The effect's name with the first X characters chopped off
of - Chop off everything to the end of the word 'of' in the effect's name
(e.g. Elixir of Draenic Wisdom -> Draenic Wisdom)

Rank Element
There are two valid keywords for the rank element:

arabic - The effect's rank in arabic numerals (e.g. 6)
roman - The effect's rank in roman numerals (e.g. VI)

If no rank is available for a effect, the Rank element will not be shown

Count Element
There are three valid keywords for the count element:

normal - The count element is shown only if it is a stacking effect with more than one stack
stack - The count element is shown only if it is a stacking effect, even if there is only one stack of the effect
always - The count element is always shown, even the effect does not stack

Tips
Rank[Rank roman] and 'Rank Rank[roman]' are actually quite different. Consider these name formats:
Name[full] Rank[Rank roman] and Name[full] Rank Rank[roman]

When applied to Arcane Intellect (Rank 6), these will both display the same thing:
Arcane Intellect Rank VI

However, when applied to Well Fed, which does not give a rank, these will display differently:
Name[full] Rank[Rank roman] will display Well Fed
Name[full] Rank Rank[roman] will display Well Fed Rank

Always put all of the conditional text for an element inside its tag!
