Help hiding all NPC details in their rolls

I prefer to roll publicly but there are some problems I have with Roll20 that forces me to roll Hidden for all NPCs. Players can mouse over the rolls to see the modifiers being used which can let them meta details about the NPC NPC names appear in rolls Action details that shouldn't be known by the player appear in the description on the roll (Related) NPC names are shown under tokens by default Solution to 2 I figured out how to remove NPC names in rolls by highlighting the token and using the ChatSetAttr API and this command !setattr --sel --npc_name_flag|0 Problem with this: I need to recall doing it every time I add a new enemy token. I use a Macro to make this easier but I sometimes forget. Solution to 4 I use the API Token Aura and they have an option to make all NPC names plates not appear. That's where I am at. I have been researching for hours but no luck. I would love a solution to 1 and 3 and perhaps a better solution to 2. To be clear, this the default:   I would like something like this   Any help would greatly be appreciated!

1. Any of the system generated 'quantum' rolls will be visible to players on mouseover. There's no way to prevent that or modify it. 2. You can set your game settings for the default 'show names' setting. Keep in mind that this setting only affects new  characters that are created. 3. You can do a workaround to hide attack/spell descriptions from your players using a Stupid Trick I explained here . Quite a bit of upfront work for each NPC you want to use that on. 4. Same as #2. Once you have those Game Settings picked, you can also use the 'Apply Default Settings' and it should adjust all the tokens in the game to whatever the current defaults are set to. The caveat is it will set all  tokens, including players' tokens to the defaults.

The NPC names showing in rolls is somethign you can trun off in the Campaign Settings and then use Apply Default settings while on the in-game settings tab to affect existing content. The other problems  are due to the way Roll20 tries to ensure that all rolls are transparent (i.e.) prevent cheating), and probably can't be overcome without an API script.
Thanks for the great feedback! Jarren not sure what I did but the extra information on attacks from NPCs doesnt show anymore. This leaves 1 being the only issue but that doesn't seem so bad. Thanks again!
