Colorful lets you change the color of UI elements.

Dependencies: LibSlash

This is a beta release. A GUI is not available. Colors can be changed with slash commands. The commands are explained later along with examples.

Which colors can I change with Colorful?

You can change the colors of the cast bar. You can try to change the color of almost any UI element, even though some of them cannot be changed.

How can I try to change the color of an UI element?

Open the debug window by typing /debug

Hover your mouse on the element you want. You will see the window name on the bottom of the debug screen. Using this name, you can try to change its color (see slash commands, window colors). As mentioned, this may not work for all UI elements. Sometimes, reseting the element will turn its color to white. If this happens, you can restore its default color by reloading your UI by typing /reloadui or simple by relogging.

How can I set colors without a GUI?

You can either use RGB codes or use the pre-defined color codes which are defined in Colors.lua

If you don't know what RGB is or if you want to learn the RGB of your favourite color, I recommend visiting http://www.sowillichbauen.de/CidScrip.../rgb.html

You can also change or expand Colors.lua to define your own colors. You must relog or reload your UI (/reloadui) after doing this.

Slash commands

/clr or /colorful - displays usage tips

/clr colors - lists the pre-defined colors

/clr reset - resets all color changes

Cast bar colors

/clr castbar - displays usage tips

/clr castbar normal 'color' - changes the normal color of the cast bar

/clr castbar bg 'color' - changes the background color of the cast bar

/clr castbar success 'color' - changes the displayed color when your cast is successful

/clr castbar fail 'color' - changes the displayed color when your cast fails

/clr reset - resets all color changes for the cast bar

Examples:

/clr castbar normal purplish

/clr castbar bg 100 100 100

/clr castbar success 155 255 0

/clr castbar fail red

Window colors

/clr window - displays usage tips

/clr window 'windowname' 'color' - changes the window color

/clr window reset 'windowname' - resets the color of the window

/clr window reset all - resets the colors of all windows

Examples:

/clr window RpBarWindow blue

/clr window XpBarWindow 100 200 200

/clr window reset XpBarWindow

What will be added in the next versions?

It depends (I love this answer).

I may add a GUI if I find the time and the motivation. If you have suggestions, don't hesitate to mention them.

Personally I started to write this addon to learn LUA and the WAR API. But in the end, I thought it may be useful so I published it.
