101 - Ability to change font, font size, outline for buttons

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

What I'd like to ask is for some configuration options on fonts used for hotkey, macro and count text used on BT4's action bars.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently I've been doing it manually by hacking actionbutton.lua with these 3 lines:

button.macroName:SetFont("Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE")
button.hotkey:SetFont("Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE")
button.count:SetFont("Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE")

But I'd prefer if possible to be able to do it through the addon's configuration frame so I won't have to edit actionbutton.lua after an update.

    Trying to modify my action bar fonts as well

    button.macroName:SetFont("Fonts
    ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE") button.hotkey:SetFont("Fonts
    ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE") button.count:SetFont("Fonts
    ARIALN.ttf", 12, "OUTLINE")

    this code throws errors on account of there no longer being an "actionbutton.lua"

    any updates?

    Hi, i would try to fix this on my own, but since there is no actionbutton.lua anymore, i dont know where or what to add to use my custom font.

    Im not asking for an implementation, but a short hint (for a non lua familiar) how to change the font from the hotkeys, counts and macronames. regards Groar

    The default font for hotkeys was just changed to use a more readable font. Fine-grained options are still a possibility for the future

    Any update on this?

    Custom text positions are something i won't do. ButtonFacade should do that, if anyone.

    Any chances to also add an option to set custom text position offsets?

    This has been put on the roadmap for 4.5.0

    button.hotkey:SetVertexColor(r,g,b,1)

    button.macroName:SetVertexColor(r,g,b,1)

    button.count:SetVertexColor(r,g,b,1)

    I suppose adding the above lines to actionbutton.lua, depending on what you need colored, should do the trick.

    @NarusegawaNaru

    I think it would be an improvement to also choose the color in the configuartion menu.

    With /script BT4Button1.hotkey:SetVertexColor(r,g,b,1) I changed the color of the first button, but I dont know how to change all hotkey colors, I'm trying it at the moment with a KgPanels script

    edit: it works with the kgpanel script, but not with onLoad
