Class Colors  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 5.2.0.80
by: Phanx [More]
Class Colors lets you change class colors without breaking parts of the Blizzard UI.

It is supported by many popular addons, and also applies your custom colors to all parts of the Blizzard UI that are normally class-colored. If you want to colorize more parts of the Blizzard UI, check out yClassColors by yleaf.

Type “/classcolors” for options, or open the Class Colors panel in the Interface Options window.

Bug Reports

If you encounter a problem with Class Colors, please try some quick troubleshooting steps first, and then submit a bug report to let me know about the problem.

Please copy this list into your ticket and fill in as many of the details as you can.
  • Class Colors version (eg. 3.3.5.71)
  • WoW version and locale (as seen on the login screen, eg. 3.3.5 enUS)
  • Description of the problem
  • Steps to reproduce the problem
  • Whether the problem happens when all other addons are disabled
  • Exact text of the first related error message, if any
    Please do not include any lists of local variables or installed addons that your error display may add!
  • Screenshot, if the problem is graphical
Remember to check on your ticket after a few days, as I may need more information from you in order to find and fix the problem!

Language Support

Class Colors is compatible with English, Deutsch , Español, Français, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文 game clients.

How to make your addon support Class Colors

Basically, any time your addon would read a value from the RAID_CLASS_COLORS table, just look for a CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS table and read from it instead.

If your addon uses a local upvalue for RAID_CLASS_COLORS, or builds a local cache table of class colors, you should update your upvalue or cache in response to the PLAYER_LOGIN event, and register for a callback to be notified when the user changes a class color.

Please do not check for the !ClassColors addon by name — eg. with GetAddOnInfo or IsAddOnLoaded — or set !ClassColors as a dependency for your addon. Use the methods described above.

See see the CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS documentation for more details!

What I really need is a way to change reaction colors. That blinding neon blue for friendly player is a real eyesore.

This addon is called Class Colors for a reason. I have no plans to extend it to change reaction colors, reputation colors, power colors, or any other colors. The whole reason this addon exists is that you can't just overwrite values in the normal class colors table, or parts of the default UI stop working. That problem does not exist for other color tables, so you can just overwrite the values directly, and other addons don't need to include any special code to support it.

Reaction colors can be changed by overwriting the GameTooltip_UnitColor function and/or overwiting values in the FACTION_BAR_COLORS table. If you need help, post in the Lua/XML Help forum.

Well thanks for pointing me in the right direction, it's just that there really aren't any addons that do status bar color changes and this seemed like the best place to ask.

  • Updated for WoW 5.2

I haven't actually looked around to see if 5.2 adds any new UI parts that need to be colored. If I notice any, or someone reports any, I'll post another update.
