Is it possible to edit font of Cooldown frame that uses "CooldownFrameTemplate"?

Hi all,

I was trying to edit font type and height of a Cooldown frame that utilizes "CooldownFrameTemplate".

Lua Code:

local cd = CreateFrame("Cooldown", "$parentCoolDown", button, "CooldownFrameTemplate");
cd:SetAllPoints(true);

However, I could have not figure it out how I would access to a text...

Could I please get some help regarding this?

Thank you.

lua Code:

local text = cd:GetRegions()
cd.text = text -- for easier access later

I don't know if they changed this, but be aware the C code has been known to revert the settings on the built-in FontStrings on CooldownFrames every rendering pass.

I'm currently updating my oUF layout, and did something like this just to be safe:

Code:

local timer = cooldown:GetRegions()



timer:SetFontObject(GameFontHighlightSmall)

timer.SetFontObject = nop

timer.SetFont = nop



timer:ClearAllPoints()

timer.ClearAllPoints = nop



timer:SetPoint("CENTER", button, "TOP", 0, 0)

timer.SetPoint = nop

In limited testing I haven't seen anything reset. (nop is a "do nothing" function defined somewhere in Blizzard code.) I don't even know if the overrides are needed for the default cooldown text; I just reused the code I was previously using to manhandle OmniCC's timer text. If it doesn't actually reset, I'd just leave it alone.

I ran into it a long time ago when they first integrated it into the CooldownFrame. I was trying to change the color and reformat the text and neither worked. Even attempting to replace the SetText(), SetFormattedText(), and SetTextColor() proved to be futile. I think setting the font, size, and position were the only things I was able to do.
