Raid tanking with Tidy Plates: Threat Plates

Hey guys, i've recently started tanking raids and i'm having a little trouble monitoring the threat on the other tank. I use Tidy Plates: Threat Plates and it's been great for 5 mans, but it's tricky in raids to tell if a mob is attacking the other tank or a dps/healer because the mob's nameplate is colored red either way.

The only option I can see in Theat Plates that looks like it would help is to enable the "Tanked Targets" widget, it seems perfect as it would put a shield or dagger icon on the nameplate to indicate if it's being tanked. But after enabling it I just can't get it to show up at all. Has anyone managed to get this widget working or have any other suggestions?

I do have my raid frames colored red when people are being attacked, but with 24 other people in the raid it gets hard to keep track of them. Thanks.

    Thanks, I have already set Tidy Plates to tank spec though. My main issue is that if the mob isn't on me, I need to click it to see if it's on the other tank or a dps/healer, because either way its nameplate is red.

    You shouldn't have to actually click on the other targets - just putting your cursor over their nameplates should be enough to let tidyplates update.
