Colourful ESO  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.3
by: Dolgubon [More]
Tired of a drab ESO? Brighten it up with Colourful ESO! This addon will change make many different strings in ESO have a different colour.

(Does not individually colour words)


This addon was the 2017 April Fools joke that was in Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter. However, the method it now uses to change colours is much safer and should result in a lot less conflicts, if any.
Version 2.2:

API Bump

Version 2.1:

Added a nil check so that if some addon attempts to use SetText with nil as the text, it won't cause an error.

Version 2:

Changed how the addon inserts colour into the game. As a result, many things that were previously coloured may no longer be coloured. However, some things that were previously not coloured will now be coloured.
Also, API bump.

Question Blank Screen

When I open my Quests (J keybind) the screen and quest names are blank but I can still see the description of the quests on the side.

Re: Re: ColourfulESO & ElderScrollsOfAlts conflict

I wish that somebody would give that guy a hand with the nil problems. I really like his addon and he tries to correct things quickly, but it causes a lot of problems. Anyway, I do really like your work here.

It seems Elderscrolls of Alts is setting the text of some UI control to nil. I've added a nil check so if some other addon does the same thing it won't be an issue.

@p6kocka

Not everything is colourful. I can't programatically make everything colourful without causing game crashes or issues, and as a result anything that is colour changed needs to be explicitly said to be colourful in the code. If you look at your screenshot, you'll also notice some stuff in the top left, and additionally if you check the skills screen or quest journal you should see more stuff, as well as various things in other places.

I'll try to get that quickly, as it shouldn't be too difficult.
