Does anyone know what macro or coding is used for the red text associated with unequipable items or items that you haven't met the requirements for yet?

I play on a 70" tv and the red text used in the item tooltips is hard to read no matter how I adjust the settings and I want to change them to a different color.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm not talking about the "error" messages, I have a mod to suppress those.

What I'm talking about is the tooltip messages. I.e.:

You are level 65 and mouse over an item requiring level 67, the "Requires level 67" text is colored red. I want to change that color so it's easier to read on my TV.

The script for Warhammer was:

    Tooltips.COLOR_FAILS_REQUIREMENTS.r=127
    Tooltips.COLOR_FAILS_REQUIREMENTS.g=255
    Tooltips.COLOR_FAILS_REQUIREMENTS.b=212

Dunno if that helps at all.

Anyone know what script it would be for this, or a mod that allows the changing of the color?

I don't know specifics, but I have a suggestion that might help.  I don't know that you can modify the messages directly.  I am fairly sure (without double checking) that there are mods which suppress these messages.  I am also fairly sure that there are mods which add, if not "error" messages, messages in the same place as errors would go.

The mods that suppress the messages catch them somehow and therefore probably know what they say.  What I'm getting at is that you might be able to "suppress" these messages and then show new ones, formatted to your liking, in the same place using the same words.

It's alot of ifs, but it is all I got at this point.  Sorry I can't  think of those mods off the top of my head, I hope it helps anyway.

You are referring to the 'error frame' try searching on that. There are addons that can redirect or move the errors so they may be an addon to size the frame.

Read my post directly above (edited my original post with it as well). I'm not talking about the "error frame" I'm talking about the red text in the item tooltip when you fail to meet a requirement for that piece of equipment.

There's a tooltip addon called "COWTIP" that might do what you're trying to do.  But I'm not too sure if it can edit text color in tooltips, its worth a try though.
