This results in the unhappy, and mostly illegible, dark text with dark outline.
To my understanding, SetTextColor doesn't override anything; it only affects text not being colored by something else. I've being poking around the FrameXML files for what might be coloring SystemFont_Small text dark brown.
My workaround in the meantime is to remove the outline flag from the dark colored FontObjects. I use the method sacrife posted above, from Tukui, which lets you use different settings per object:
Lua Code:
-- author: Tukz local eventframe = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent) local SetFont = function(obj, font, size, style, r, g, b, sr, sg, sb, sox, soy) obj:SetFont(font, size, style) if sr and sg and sb then obj:SetShadowColor(sr, sg, sb) end if sox and soy then obj:SetShadowOffset(sox, soy) end obj:SetShadowOffset(1,-2) obj:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, .4) if r and g and b then obj:SetTextColor(r, g, b) elseif r then obj:SetAlpha(r) end end eventframe:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") eventframe:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, addon) local NORMAL = "Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf" local COMBAT = "Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf" local NUMBER = "Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf" local fSize = 14 UIDROPDOWNMENU_DEFAULT_TEXT_HEIGHT = 8 CHAT_FONT_HEIGHTS = {8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20} UNIT_NAME_FONT = NORMAL NAMEPLATE_FONT = NORMAL DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT = COMBAT STANDARD_TEXT_FONT = NORMAL -- Base fonts SetFont(GameFontBlack, NORMAL, fSize, "", 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); SetFont(GameFontHighlight, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) SetFont(GameTooltipHeader, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(NumberFont_OutlineThick_Mono_Small, NUMBER, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(NumberFont_Outline_Huge, NUMBER, 28, "THINOUTLINE", 28) SetFont(NumberFont_Outline_Large, NUMBER, fSize+3, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(NumberFont_Outline_Med, NUMBER, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(NumberFont_Shadow_Med, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(NumberFont_Shadow_Small, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(QuestFont, NORMAL, fSize+2, "", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) SetFont(QuestFont_Large, NORMAL, fSize+2, "THINOUTLINE", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) SetFont(SystemFont_Large, NORMAL, fSize+2, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Med1, NORMAL, fSize-1, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Med3, NORMAL, fSize-1, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_OutlineThick_Huge2, NORMAL, fSize+7, "THICKOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Outline_Small, NUMBER, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Large, NORMAL, fSize+2, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Med1, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Med3, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Outline_Huge2, NORMAL, fSize+7, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Small, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Small, NORMAL, fSize, "", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) SetFont(SystemFont_Tiny, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(Tooltip_Med, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(Tooltip_Small, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(CombatTextFont, COMBAT, 25, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SystemFont_Shadow_Huge1, NORMAL, 20, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(ZoneTextString, NORMAL, 32, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(SubZoneTextString, NORMAL, 25, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(PVPInfoTextString, NORMAL, 22, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(PVPArenaTextString, NORMAL, 22, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont(ChatFrame1, NORMAL, fSize, "THINOUTLINE") SetFont = nil self:SetScript("OnEvent", nil) self:UnregisterAllEvents() self = nil end)
BTW, are "OUTLINE" & "THINOUTLINE" the same thing, and if so have they always been? |
Didn't work that well 
@ hank haven't tried it yet, so ^^ |
