Theme personal resource display #7

Add support for the personal resource display "namplate" to also be styled. Apparently there is an intentional decision not to do this here but I don't really see a reason why we wouldn't support the option to do so.

Yes, I would love this feature. The UI would be quite simple - for me at least. The buffs should have the same design as the debuffs on enemies. I like the elongated ones, but an option to switch between those and the original - just like with the target debuffs - would be fine as well.

The Healthbar should look like the nameplate for enemies, but with a slimmer border, I would say. Maybe - if possible - with a different color (choosable?) to the target nameplates (green is fine, but e.g. blue would also be nice). The Resource bar could actually be as slim as the original PRD resource bar and - for me at least - doesn't need any text (but would be a nice addition).

The text on the health bar would just be "Health Current / Health Total (X%)", just like the bar on enemy nameplates. I'll try to create a mock-up for it.

So, I've tested around a bit with the piece of code you provided and I happened to create a PRD, which is already nice, but not exactly what I want, but it's amazing how easy it was. :3 What I found out - and this might be the solution to issue #23 - is that if you deactivate Nameplates for Players, Tidy Plates might also sometimes accidentally create a nameplate for yourself, puts it on top of the vanilla PRD and then removes the visibility, but I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, so this is kinda how I envisioned it, but the border is a bit too thick and the name isn't necessary. Also, the resource bar should be the same size (this is the original resource bar)...and I guess that would be it? If there's a separate bar template for the player's PRD, I can probably theme it myself and send you a picture of how I want it, but at the moment it's a bit difficult, as this bar shares its looks with any other "friendly players" bar.

edit: Oh, I forgot, the buffs are missing in that screenshot, unfortunately. image

This is a bit closer to what I want, except that it currently shows endless buffs, and no numbers for the soul fragments ( which the original PRD does). This is just a hack, because I activated the "Include my buffs" option, but the PRD should have its own "Buff bar", which works a bit better. If not, a filter for certain buffs would be nice ( a whitelist maybe?).

edit 2: Okay, the Buffs & Debuffs section of Tidy Plates lets you modify this bar - obviously - and I'll have image

thank you so much for all the details! I'll try to see what I can do to actually make it happen for everyone
