The new Cooldown Text

Hello there

I've looked at the new cooldown text display for auras and actionbuttons. I've noticed that you can hide them for a specific cooldown (SetHideCountdownNumbers()), but is there a way to modify it? Like setting the font, position and text formatting? I looked at the Blizzard Interface Code, but didn't find where they actually handled the cooldown text so i guess it's controlled deeper down somewhere.

Doeshttp://wowprogramming.com/docs/widgets/Frame/GetRegions return the fontstring object?

[e]
Tried it.
Code:
/script local t = ActionButton1Cooldown:GetRegions() for i, v in pairs(t) do if t.GetText and t:GetText()then print(i, t:GetText()) t:SetFontObject("SystemFont_Tiny") end end
does work.

Seems as the cooldown frame/number is created on the fly. So don't forget to check if it exists before doing something.

Edit2: I think it's only the parent frame that's created on the fly though, like auras and stuff.
