Colored Addon Titles
Two questions I thought I'd find answered somewhere, but haven't.
1. Has it been pointed out to ZOS that they should sort addon titles (in addon enabling page) stripped from markup? I hate it when Guild Search Store (blue) precedes BestFriends (purple) because of the color. They're also cutting the string length disrespecting markup, so if you have an icon with long filename, they break it in the middle, and you get white rectangle instead. 2. If they're not going to fix it, do you think it's possible to establish a convention that would make specially titled addons sort correctly by a few initial characters at least? The trick would be to (ab)use the |c escape - put a sorting key to it instead of hexcolor (the parser doesn't care) - and place it before the desired color. Like this: Code:
Title: |cBestFr|c9966ffBestFriends (example) |
If it is enough to have sorted ingame addons list:
Lua Code:

Addon manager on PTS 1.5.0 removes color codes for sorting purposes:
EsoUI\Common\ZO_AddOnManager\ZO_AddOnManager.lua, line 413: Lua Code:

Nice, glad I abandoned the hacky idea in 2. :) Btw, does it remove |texture tags, too?

Is texture markup commonly used in add-on titles? I could push to add some code for this release to strip that off the front as well if you all think it would be worthwhile.

But I have another request more related to the original topic. Some addons have the whole title colored (sometimes in multiple colors), preventing them from being dimmed when they're disabled. Could you add some kind of darkening to disabled addon titles? Like this: Lua Code:

The add-on list will now only show color markup when the add-on is enabled. The other cases will show the disabled or error colors. Hopefully we can get it into this coming update.
