Where to find TinyTip's developer?

I will beg him to add a function to color tooltip backdrops (background) according to classes. (orange for druid for instance)

I took a look at it. I think I have done it, however I can't test it right now and there is a relatively high chance that if I did it wrong, the whole thing would crash. So I will withhold my solution until after I had a chance to test it.

If I don't reply within 2 days, please remind me :D

I'm using a modified version of TinyTip which doesn't show HP bars. I like it better like that.

So, can you also add that option (or just remove hp bars altogether) to your version of tinytip?

Reminding you that I'm waiting for your answer.

Fuuuck me. This was annoying to say the least, since I am not experienced with LUA at all, and that addon is quite complicated...

So.. I managed to do it, but I think it doesn't look good and probably won't use it myself. Especially for hostile targets. Since the default "red" highlights the importance imo.

You can, of course, find the color table (named RAID_CLASS_COLORS, on line 396) and play with the values. If you manage to edit the colours to something eye-pleasing, please by my guest and post a reply :)

NPC's remain with black, pets apparently inherit Warrior colours for hunter's pets and Mage colours for warlock pets.

P.S.

Rename the file to only "TinyTip.lua" when using it. (And take a back-up of your current one!).

Also this would probably only work when ingame

/tinytip -> Appearance -> Backdrop Coloring -> TinyTip's Default

is used.

 

P.P.S

Excuse me to all the players who's characters I randomly snapshotted walking around. Hope you didn't mind.

I will test this when I get home.

If you're only discontent with the colors you pick, I'll help with them.

I will get the color codes from my retail UI and try it here.

These are the standard colours since TBC+, the vanilla colours feature both paladin and shaman as pink. However TinyTip messes with the transparency and whatnot, so they look the way they do. They have this matte look and I think glossy would make it easier to read the text information.

And I also guess it's a matter of getting used to it...
