I've seen it in a few screen shots and I use to have a set of them myself but I'm just wondering if anyone out there has a set of modified Blizzard Unit frame artwork where the Steel Grey color has been darkened to darker shade (almost black in fact).

I'm not talking about like this:

(found here http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7698-rUF.html)

I want as much of the original UF look as possible just much darker in color.


Thanks!

It might help if you posted the screenshots of what you do want... from your description I'd have guessed you wanted exactly what you posted the screenshot of not wanting...

I was looking for the pic... I found it.



If you look it is different than the one I posted above, the color of the frames have been made black with out removing the overall artwork of the frame.

That is what I was trying to describe.

You can do this with oUF_Neav, if those are "stock" enough for you.

relevant portion:

Yes you can make the frames darker. Just open the oUF_Neav.lua file and go to line 421

self.Texture = self.Health:CreateTexture("$parentTextureFrame", "ARTWORK") 

Just add

self.Texture:SetVertexColor(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)

below the line above. ;)

Thanks, I knew about that before but I didn't want to use those since Neal does not like to have his addons published in other people's compilations.

Just snip out the bits you need and credit him and if you release it, ask him first i guess :P

With the default frames you could do:

local EnumerateFrames = EnumerateFrames

local lastframe -- the last frame we met.
local otype
local function DarkenUnitTex(f)
    local f = EnumerateFrames(f)
    while f do
        otype = f:GetObjectType()
        if otype ~= "Button" then
            if otype == "Texture" and f:GetTexture() == [[Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-TargetingFrame]] then
                f:SetVertexColor(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
            end
            lastframe = f
        end
        f = EnumerateFrames(f)
     end
end

local function DarkenNewUnitTex()
    DarkenUnitTex(lastframe)
end

hooksecurefunc("CreateFrame", DarkenNewUnitTex)
DarkenNewUnitTex()

Which will darken all Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-TargetingFrame textures.

I will try this tonight, thanks.

Tried the above and it didn't work.

No error either.

there is this addon TweakWoW or Copper that i think will do what you want, but TweakWoW also does alot of other stuff you may not want. with Copper you may be able to edit the color in the lua to the colors you want.

Disclaimer: just so you know i have not used the addons here just trying to find some options for you : ) hope something here will help >< GL

Thanks - blitzseed They both work for what I want, but they color the rare dragons too :(

I will just have to color them manual myself like I did before. I just didn't want to spend the time to tediously do that since I don't get a lot of time to play between work and school :p
