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 would second that, as it this really disturbing/annoying...

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

Currently, Prat recolors the guild channel shaman color. I believe a reversion is planned in a later revision.

I like Prat's color better, frankly... the new Blizzard shaman color is horrible.

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?

I find this to be the most interesting question in this thread... anyone has the answer?
ReTeal by Herio does just that.

All you need to do is replace the color in the global table. There's _ZERO_ need for Ace in the matter.

Prat had an option that recolored shamans. Update to the latest revision.

Ah, thankies. And yes, the other second color (which I like more) was from Prat then. ^_^

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.

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)

ReTeal already does this guys, if you just want to download it instead of making your own.

ReTeal is awesome. :)

Indeed, just download ReTeal, install it and forget about it.

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.

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I recently found the answer to Laric's question

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?

Encountered the same problem just today, generating hundreds of taints per 10 seconds or so :(

Rename the addon to exclude the "!" and it fixes it, at least it did for me, left it like that since 2.3 :o
