After patch 1.05 the only issue with the Mirage UI I have had is the colors for items rare would show up black and Epic would show up Blue.. very confusing so I poked around and worked out this fix below. Perhaps it can save others some color headaches as it has done for me. In your customized folder where the mirage ui is placed there is a file named TextColors.xml open this with notepad. Replace the existing code with the following code by pasting it into the file.
(There is allot of code here make sure your last is code reads </Root>.)
After the code is pasted into the file save it as TextColors.xml in the directory you found it. the header includes the current patch version so run bycrom if another patch version has come out.
CODE is at

My Blog http://aguy.us/?p=152
or
Local Defense Guild website http://locald.mmoguildsites.com/forum_threads/253018

Thank you so much. I ended up deleting the file temporarily, and I absolutely hate the default colors. I had just decided to start poking around the file myself when I found this. You're a life safer.

EDIT: I probably should have tried this fix before posting it seems. Sadly, this code makes the text on the log-in screen black. I haven't got any further than that, but it seems that the code is not being copied correctly off that blog page. When I copy the code into a file, it looks different after I have saved it, closed it, and then open it again. I have tried copying and pasting to the existing file. I have even tried creating new txt and doc files and copying the code to those, but it is still not copying right.

Perhaps if you can put the code on this page, I can try to copy it directly from here. Or perhaps if you can just tell what you changed, I can edit the existing file myself.

P.S. - Also, the second link you listed does not work. It comes up with a screen saying that I'm not authorized to view the page.

Rather than wait, I decided to go ahead with my original plan to just go into the file and change it manually. I ended up just opening the default textcolors.xml file and copy/pasting the color codes from the mirage file to the default one, and then saving the modified one in the customized folder. I only tested it for a few minutes, but it seemed to work fine for me. If anyone else is interested, here is the code. Just copy and overwrite this code into the Textcolors.xml file in your customized folder, and it should work fine.

This code works fine for me, but I would still backup the textcolors.xml file before you modify it, just to be safe.

Ok, one, make sure you are in the right file, in the right directory, which is:

funcom/age of conan/data/gui/customized/TextColors.xml

Two, there may be some issues with copying the code from the forum. Make sure that the top line of the code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

...and the bottom line of the code looks like this:

</Root>

Make sure there is nothing after that bottom line of the code, or below it.

Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but when you run ByCrom, make sure it deletes the .bxml files, just in case.

Fyi, I am currently using this code, and it works fine. It should work for ya. Good luck!
