Help changing font colors

[BubblegumJam]

ive been working on a complete reskin of the default wow ui and have run into a little problem. As i was finishing the spell book i noticed some of the text is an ugly brown color. not only is it ugly but its hard to read against my frame.


Does anyone know of a way to change this font color or any other fonts in the interface without the aid of and addon but perhaps thru a script or lua code?
Thx in advance for any help in this matter!

Is the SubSpellFont globally accessible? To check, try /dump SubSpellFont. What does it return?

If it is, do a SetTextColor on it. All the rank labels inherit it.

/dump SubSpellFont returned with

<Font:SubSpellFont
GetAlpha() => 0.99999779462814,
GetFont() => "Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 10, "",
GetFontObject() => <Font:SpellFont_Small>,
GetIndentedWordWrap() => nil,
GetJustifyH() => "CENTER",
GetJustifyV() => "MIDDLE",
GetName() => "SubSpellFont",
GetObjectType() => "Font",
GetShadowColor() => 0, 0, 0, 0,
GetShadowOffset() => 0, 0,
GetSpacing() => 0,
GetTextColor() => 0.34901884198189, 0.1999995559454, 0, 0.99999779462814

obviously the text color is listed in the last line but not really sure what to do with it after that

What does the following do:

/run SubSpellFont:SetTextColor(1,1,1)

What does the following do:

/run SubSpellFont:SetTextColor(1,1,1)

that worked for the subspell font now just need to figure out the command for the page number font

/run SpellBookPageText:SetColor(1,1,1)

both these work great but have to be entered on every login i guess my only option is to learn how to write them into and addon so i guess im gonna go learn more bout lua. thx for your help!

/run commands are Lua! You can just remove the /run and use this.

thx so much for the help, just one more thing is there a way to inspect all the frame elements so i can run all the dump commands and set new colors for other frame?

Personally I checked the FrameXML, Ctrl+F-ing for the "<FontString" tag. You could also /fstack, but I'm not sure if that displays fontstrings.

Check out AfterFonts, I've gotten most of my fonts fixed with that.
