I have the weird problem that half of the time, Shamans have a very full blue as their classcolor, half of the time a way more "level" blue. The latter I don't really mind, the first is disgusting (though I think the first is Blizzard's), but the problem is it seems to change at random.
I at first thought Prat might have a recolor-classes options, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Does anyone know of an ace2-addon which uses it's own color for Shammies, or which tries to change it globally in WoW?
I personally miss the old color they had, I find this one far less distinguishable than the other (Keeps making me confuse Shamans with Warlocks, never had that problem with Shamans and Mages).
Oh well, I'll probably just write a mod with the single little effect of changing it to the color it had before the 2.1 patch.
All you need to do is replace the color in the global table.
Could you elaborate on that please ?
And guys, please remember not everybody uses Prat...
BTW, ain\'t Prat just changing those colors in chats ?
In that case, that\'s only correcting a small part of the problem...
Step-by-step instructions for creating ShamIColor:
1. Create a folder called ShamIColor inside of your World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons folder
2. Create two files, one called ShamIColor.toc and one called ShamIColor.lua
3. Put the following into ShamIColor.toc:
## Interface: 20100
## Notes: Reverts Shaman class color to the one used in Patch 2.0.x
## Title: ShamIColor
## Author: Gunabublia
ShamIColor.lua
4. Put the following into ShamIColor.lua:
RAID_CLASS_COLORS.SHAMAN = { r = 0.00, g = 0.86, b = 0.73 }
You can obviously add any class if you want to fully customize the colors, you won't get a fancy GUI, but I really don't think that's needed for something like this. (Not to mention it tends not to work well if you change the colors on the fly)
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I recently found the answer to Laric's question
Quote from Laric »
Not my expertize but wouldnt it be so that if you change the global shaman color taint everything in blizzards code that uses that variable?

Unfortunately replacing the shaman color does taint the default raid interface causing all sorts of problems with it.
Which sadly means I'll have to abandon ReTeal...
Anyone has an idea how to achieve the same effect without the side-effects?

I have a couple addons that still use the old color scheme, but that is just not enough :/

I like Prat's color better, frankly... the new Blizzard shaman color is horrible.
I find this to be the most interesting question in this thread... anyone has the answer?
ReTeal by Herio does just that.

I don't think there is a better way to explain this, then with what the add-on would involve in code:
1. Create a folder called ShamIColor inside of your World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons folder
2. Create two files, one called ShamIColor.toc and one called ShamIColor.lua
3. Put the following into ShamIColor.toc:
4. Put the following into ShamIColor.lua:

ReTeal already does this guys, if you just want to download it instead of making your own.
ReTeal is awesome. :)
It loads early and changes the color back for everything else that pulls the color from the raid table. And its all of one line like posted above.
