RangeRecolor
Simple interface addition, which recolors the action bar buttons when your selected target is out of range, or when you are out of mana/rage etc.
No more guessing if your spell or ranged attack will hit that mob now, the action bar buttons will visually change color and be shaded differently showing you are out of range and will brighten back to full color to indicate when you are within range again and that button is usable.
Some action bar mods are starting to add this 'out of range' functionality to their addons, but at present theres only a few mods that do recolor themselves, such as CTMod and Discord. However, alot of people use other bars in combination with these too such as FlexBar which is popular, then you could often get a mismatch of shaded icons in various colors.
RangeRecolor adds the range recoloring to all action bars that don't currently have that functionality, which is actually the majority of action bars. Then it checks for action bars that have their own recoloring like CTMod and replaces their function with it's own recoloring instead.
RangeRecolor works with popular action bar addons plus the original Blizzard standard bars too, therefore adding the functionality to all bars and in the process recoloring them all the same.
Furthermore, you can use a simple slash command or the checkbox on the options panel to switch between red or grey shaded icons.
Slash commands:
/rr to enable/disable and set defaults.
/rr red to enable red shaded icons (default)
/rr grey to enable grey shaded icons
Addons supported:
* Blizzard Standard Bars
* CTMod
* Gypsy

* PopBar
* Telo's SideBar
* Telo's BottomBar
* FlexBar
* HoloBar

Posted Apr 19, 2005Shaniquaa, 1) To change the color to something else, just read above in my description... "but if you don't like the colors you only have to open up the rangerecolor.lua and change the color setting at the top, then all the supported action bars will be recolored to whatever shade you like."
Just change: RangeRecolorColorNoMana = { r = 0.5, g = 0.5, b = 1.0 }; to your shade of grey, something like: RangeRecolorColorNoMana = { r = 0.5, g = 0.5, b = 0.5 }; Lower the numbers and darker it will be.
2) Not quite sure what your meaning here, rangerecolor doesn't alter the cooldown effect so they should all still be like the default.
3) I've been working on trying to add groupbutton support.

Posted Apr 18, 2005Any way to detect facing? In other words, can you make a backstab button grey out if you are not behind the target?

Posted Apr 18, 2005Hi :) Just a few questions :)
Could you:
1) make Out of Mana grey, and range red?
2) make a cooldown indication that is the same as the default?
3) add GroupButtons support?
Great addon BTW! Thanks ;)

Posted Apr 18, 2005I know when you close the options panel it goes back to the game, that is easily sorted in the next version, but I don't have any problems with menus though.
There's a simple splash command to switch between red/grey shading, I'll be adding checkbuttons or something to the options panel soon.

Posted Apr 18, 2005Hi, when I try to configure RangeRecolor via myAddons it opens the rr menu (no option to choose red or grey on this dialog box btw). The problem is when I close the box it returns to the game, not to the myAddons menu, then I can't open any menu in the game (escape menu, bags, quest window etc...)
Hope it's clear.
Thanks for your work
