    Recount\Skada and text outline.

    I must admit it, my sight isnt that good anymore.

    Is there a way, or another recount-like addon (not skada, it has the same issue), to add a text outline to the font? I cant read it. And no, I cant increase the bars\font size because Im playing on a laptop and the screen isnt that big

    Any help or suggestions?

    Not currently using recount, but the options in skada do not include outline text.
    Will have a quick look around for others and see if I can find any obvious mention or indication they might support it, otherwise you may be able to "hack" it in modifying the code, but that is beyond me, and could break or at least get reverted come an update.

    Edit: Google image searching found the recount config, and showed bar texture and font typeface selection only.
    Unfortunatly several alternatives I have seen offer no outline text option.
    Numeration damage meter came the closest, and may be one of the simpler choices so being a more likely candidate for either a "hacked" one, or even as a suggestion to the author.

    You can just add OUTLINE manually by editing the LUA code...

    Use Notepad or any other working text editor to open: YourWoWfolder\Interface\Addons\Recount\Font.LUA

    Go to line 25 and make it look like this:
    string:SetFont(FontFile, Height, Flags, "OUTLINE")

    Also add following to line 38:
    v:SetFont(FontFile, Height, Flags, "OUTLINE")

    That should OUTLINE all the fonts in the recount window.

    Edit* When I say "add" ofc I mean edit the already existing lines.
