For all you death knights I released a “rune addon” a few days ago. I’ve spent a great deal of time making it extremely flexible and customizable. Special thanks to Serennia for being a testing slave and a factory of ideas. It wouldn’t be where it is today without him. Since it’s unrelated to arena I’ll be keeping it on WoWAce/Curse so leave feedback on its addon page. (link after the jump)

Upcoming features to Overhead
- Aura tracking ON the nameplates probably like Gladius’ style.
- SpellAlerter type alerts over the nameplate
- Compact mode. Basically I’ll add a toggle to remove the border art (takes up the most space), remove level text, and relocate the name inside the bar.
I don’t intend to make Overhead into a giant super customizable nameplate mod such as Aloft.
Here’s a rough outline of what the arenacast macro addon will look like. Ten class icons and a general icon on the top edge. Clicking one of them will load the names and descriptions into the table below. Clicking on one of the entries int he table will load the text into a text box which you can copy paste from. If you want more in the macro addon post in the comments.

WTB better pic quality.
any chance at intergrading the awsome overhead mod with aloft in the sence of the cast bars shown on all characters, not regarding current target, aswell as the hidden totem nameplates. ive just gotten to used to aloft at this point :(
it’ll be nice when overhead is more configurable. i want bars for pets, but not totems, for example. and i still want bars for teammates but couldn’t find a way to turn them on. hopefully there aren’t technical problems with making it more customizable.

I didn’t realize you were talking about multiple different mods in this post for a bit, was very confusing….
I’m so excited that I just can’t hide it.
Hi kollektiv, i was just wondering how come u stopped this mod, it seemed like a really good mod in theory, and even if u could just keep the old “overhead” castbar just customizable, i think it would be great already (*i.e. it could be a standalone to aloft..or u cud use both at the same time, coz currently u cant.)
