Ever heard of paint?


If it has anything to do with his oUF unit frames you might better off asking him.

If you are looking for p3lim's oUF layout but with the target's name using Raid Coloring (aka class colors), then you need to roll up your sleeves and hello to a little thing called Lua. Don't be scared, it won't bite...

OK look for this bit of text:

if(unit == 'target') then
			self:Tag(info, '[colorinfo][name]|r |cff0090ff[smartlevel] [rare]|r')
		else
			self:Tag(info, '[colorinfo][name]|r')
		end

And change it to this:

if(unit == 'target') then
			self:Tag(info, '[raidcolor][name]|r |cff0090ff[smartlevel] [rare]|r')
		else
			self:Tag(info, '[raidcolor][name]|r')
                end

Basically you are replacing the tag [colorinfo] with the tag [raidcolor]. [colorinfo] is p3lim's custom tag to color your target name by whether or not its been tapped by you, dead or offline. [raidcolor] is a default oUF tag to display the Raid Color (aka class coloring] of your target. Tell me how this works out.

Another option is use the target's power bar (mana/energy/rage/runic power bar) to indicate the target class (and not change the target name's code)

Look for this code:

	self.Power.colorTapping = true
	self.Power.colorDisconnected = true
	self.Power.colorClass = true
	self.Power.colorReaction = true

and change to:

	self.Power.colorTapping = false
	self.Power.colorDisconnected = false
	self.Power.colorClass = true
	self.Power.colorReaction = false

This will set the Power Bar exclusively to Class coloring and not show any other type of color (tapped, DCed, reaction). Choose one or both. The bar option is the easiest in IMHO, however I am not an expert in lua (far from it).

I would have given my previous answer in greater detail in my previous post, however as I about to go sorting through my Frankenstein of an oUF layout, my beat up old PC decided to go on strike (it must work in the Italian transport sector), again.
