KGPanels Color by Class Switch ..

[KepiGio]

Ok tbh i have no idea how to script anything. My main thing i want is to be able to color the background for certain frames by class color have it change on any class you play.

What specific script should i be searching for?

local _, class = UnitClass("player");
	if class == "WARRIOR" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.95, 0.23, 0.23, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "PRIEST" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.96, 0.98, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "MAGE" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.00, 1, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "DRUID" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.49, 0.04, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "PALADIN" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.92, 0.22, 0.46, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "HUNTER" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "ROGUE" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.94, 0.16, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "SHAMAN" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.13, 0.42, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "WARLOCK" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.36, 0.18, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	end

I did find this code laying around here in the forums but the colors are all wrong from what i have in pitbull .. how do i get the color codes to be the exact ones from pitbull?

my colors in pitbull are in the following setting:
DK - c31d3a
Mage - 3ccbf0
Rogue - fff566
Warrior - c79c6d
Druid - ff7e0d
Paladin - f587b7
Shaman -208ade
Hunters - acd375
Priests - b2ebff
Warlocks - 9383c9

PitBull is using Hexadecimal color values which cannot be used as VertexColor's. You can go to WoWWiki(I know everyone uses WoWPedia but I haven't updated my bookmarks yet.) for the hexadecimal and RGB values of each class.

Ex.
Mage color hexadecimal = #69CCF0
Mage color RGB (in this case) = 0.41, 0.80, 0.94

EDIT: If you're looking for a hexadecimal to RGB color converter go here. The only problem is it gives you the full value (255) SetVertexColor needs a value between 0 and 1, so in order to obtain this just take the number it gives you and divide by 255.

If I put in "ff8844" into the converted I'd get back [R:255] [G:136] [B:68] then to put this into SetVertexColor just open up Calculator and do [255/255 = 1] [136/255 = 0.53] [68/255 = 0.27]
Then plug these in [self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.53, 0.27, self.bg:GetAlpha())]

hmm thanks for the info .. quick question if i want to add Death Knight to that list do i add the name like DeathKnight or Death Knight?

Hmm seems like it uses the RGB a different RGB color code than the ones i converted my hex into ... is there a way i can use the RGB codes i just got and convert them into the 0.00 format?

For instance these are the RGB Color Codes i got through a Hex to RGB Converter:

WARRIOR - 199,156,109
PRIEST - 178,235,255
MAGE - 60,203,240
DRUID - 255,126,13
PALADIN - 245,135,183
HUNTER - 172,211,117
ROGUE - 255,245,102
SHAMAN - 32,138,222
WARLOCK - 147,131,201
DeathKnight - 195,29,58

Should work in OnLoad if it's just the player's class you're retrieving.

local _, Class = UnitClass("player")
local Color = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[Class]
self.bg:SetVertexColor(Color.r, Color.g, Color.b, self.bg:GetAlpha())

Can you do that whit border color too?

Replacing "self.bg:SetVertexColor" with "self:SetBackdropBorderColor" should work.

Thanks

Now i can use one layout for all alts.

The code if someone else need it
local _, Class = UnitClass("player")
local Color = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[Class]
self:SetBackdropBorderColor(Color.r, Color.g, Color.b,)
