With the recent update to Elvui, the nameplates and combo points, shards, runes, etc have been ruined. The nameplates are so faded that you can’t see them unless its the one you have targeted and the class resources are now all squares that just green.
Does anyone have a good nameplate and a combo point/resource addon? That will actually allow you to keep track of where enemies are / cast bars etc.
I’m pretty sure you can actually configure all of those things you are complaining about, but my recommendation would be KUI Nameplates.

Non-target fade can be set to anything from 100% to 0% in the Config panel.
Class resources can be altered and moved and displayed on the player frame, the nameplate, or on a fixed-location version of the nameplate.
I think this might fall into the PEBKAC*/PICNIC** category more than a problem with the addon.

While I do appreciate the sarcasm, I have no been able to locate the option to config any of that since the update or I would have, As far as I can see from their forums the option to config opacity has not been implemented but I was hopeful that I was just missing something but I don’t think the option is there.
/ec > NamePlates > Style Filter > ElvUI_NonTarget > Actions > Alpha: -1
/ec > NamePlates > Target > Classbar > Use Class Color - Though personally I’d disable this classbar entirely
Might want to also adjust the ElvUI_Boss Style Filter to remove Use Portrait while you’re in there.
The support channels in their Discord are useful if you have questions in the future: https://discord.gg/j47E6Ef
Sorry, for the delay in responding.
That wasn’t sarcasm so much as it was a gentle nudge not to blame software for the user’s lack of deep knowledge about how to configure it.
That’s not to say that you’re in some way lacking in either intelligence or education, only that this is a very complex addon with many, many axes of customization available and the learning curve can be very steep.
The ElvUI folks are very responsive. It’s one of the best-maintained addons out there. It gets a lot of undeserved hate from folks who give up on dealing with its incredible flexibility (and resulting complexity).
No offense was intended. I couched my commentary in the use of a pair of humorous help-desk tropes (at least I was hoping they were humorous).
Elvie’s command mapping to altering the non-target nameplate alpha percentage is essentially correct.
/ec > NamePlates > Style Filter > ElvUI_NonTarget > Actions
I personally don’t turn off non-target-nameplate alpha reduction. I like the idea of a visual queue other than the side indicators to tell me which MOB/Player is my current target though (I’m colorblind and some of the other indicators work better with full color vision). But I agree that the default value is a bit extreme.
That’ll show you a number of choices and some of them are not fully implemented as yet (I believe) but the alpha settings seem to work well.
I have mine set to 95%
