Nicknaming Addon
I have also created example ElvUI and Plater setups that will work out of the box, and WeakAuras support is on the way! If you want your favorite addon author to support nicknaming, please refer them to the API Documentation. Also, feel free to leave any thoughts in comments below!

[WA] Weak Aura with dynamic glow border color.
You have to edit the region, as explained here. Sadly there isn't an example for doing exactly what you need.

My WeakAuras stopped working with today update.
Don't update your addons today in EU/ASIA, if you installed WeakAuras 5.5 revert to previous version 5.4.4. If you are unsure how to revert to previous version you can either download them directly via https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/releases/download/5.4.4/WeakAuras-5.4.4.zip or https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2/download/4464593 or go into your AddonUpdater of choice and select the 5.4.4 version (be sure to install Release version and not an Alpha)

[HELP] Need help to code a weakaura with clickable arrows for paging
Here is an article about taint and why it is important. Here is the stance on Protected Frames in WeakAuras. I would have coded this to use protected frames, but they are not allowed in auras (the interface throws an error if you try). So, in the aura I coded, the frame is disabled during combat to avoid possible taint. So if you get attacked while on Page2 while farming you might want a keybind to reset it back to Page1 so you can attack.

I've followed all the steps in the ElvUI optimization guide (https://github.com/tukui-org/ElvUI/wiki/performance-optimization-retail), though it doesn't seem to have helped at all.

[HELP] Tukui client won't open/re-download and can't update my ElvUI
Hallo recently my Tukui client says it cannot connect to tukui.org but won't let me re-download the client (does not launch) and leaves me with that disgusting box! Any help to fix this would be appreciated :)

I’m a casual player. I will raid and do mythic once I get geared and have the time. Are specific addons a requirement to be better? I have some. I have weak auras but I don’t know how to use it. I have it where my abilities flash when it’s ready and when to use. Is there a way to copy a layout?
They are large addon suites. https://www.tukui.org/welcome.php

[UI] I need this UI ):
This is definitely ElvUI as the base, and whoever you got this screenshot from has customized it a lot. There's also a warrior weakaura in the center (they aren't buttons, just tracking different parts of the class). If you go to wago.io you can get the WeakAura used (just compare screenshots to this for the same one. I dont play warr so Im unfamiliar) and you can get Elvui from https://www.tukui.org/welcome.php
