Ever since the tooltip refactoring of "r836-alpha", player names have been colored gold, whereas they used to be white like default UI.

Video to demonstrate the default raid/player frame tooltip vs. Grid2.

A temporary workaround I've been doing is to hardcode GameTooltipTextLeft1 to white, but this has to be done every Grid2 update and is hacky.

In Grid2\modules\IndicatorTooltip.lua:

function Tooltip:Display(unit, object)
	local anchor = self.dbx.tooltipAnchor
	if anchor then
		GameTooltip:SetOwner(Grid2Layout.frameBack, anchor)
	else
		GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor(GameTooltip, UIParent)
	end
	object:GetTooltip(unit, GameTooltip)
	GameTooltipTextLeft1:SetTextColor(1,1,1,1)
	GameTooltip:Show()
	tooltipDisplayed = true
end

Is it really so important this color change ?

Grid2 is displaying the tooltip provided by the game, the developer of the default blizzard frames decided to change manually the default  color provided by the game using GameTooltipTextLeft1:SetTextColor() too, probably because the default frames code is used to display hostile and friendly units (hostile are displayed red, friendly white).

But in Grid2 frames all units are friendly (usually) the addon do not need to manage hostile units.

Another problem: changing the tooltip from grid2 code  will mess with tooltip enhanced addons like Tiptac.

Ah, thank you for the explanation. It's not a big deal.

Much appreciated for being super on top of tickets.
