  Three different threat colors of the healthbar based on the colors of Plater, but can be changed settings.

  This shows the threat differential between you and second on threat if you are first on threat. If you are not first on threat then it shows the threat differential between the first on threat and you. Colors can be changed for each mode, default colors have the following intend, respective to the meaning of the modes: Green - save zone, Red - danger, Orange - close to danger. The font is fully customizable.

  This shows the number you are on threat. There are three different colors which display, depending on the mode with respective colors: First on threat, above 80% on threat and below 80% on threat. The font is fully customizable.

NotPlater Simulator Frame

This frame simulates a nameplate and is meant to ease the process of configuring, so you don't have to look for proper test scenarios. It also simulates a threat scenario of a group of 10 people internally, which is shown when you hover over the simulated frame. The simulator is moveable on the outer region and you can target/untarget the simulated frame by clicking on it.
