*****Note: If this stops working all you need to do is change the following line at the top of the customized file to match that of the default:
<!-- $Change: 48416 $ (must be within the first 200 characters of the file)
-->

More information can be found in the readme file in the GUI\Customized folder****

Alright I got really sick and tired of looking at that aweful purple for guild chat so I did some digging. Found the customized GUI folder with a very useful readme in it. So if you want to change the text colors follow the bellow.

First go to:
C:\Program Files\Funcom\Age of Conan\cd_image\Gui\Default (This file path may not be the same for you. Just find the GUI folder in your AoC install)

You will find a file called Text Colors. If you open the file you can see all the settings for your chat text.

Copy this file and paste it in the following folder

C:\Program Files\Funcom\Age of Conan\cd_image\Gui\Customized

Once it is there right click on it and hit edit.


The top section will give you some very basic colors with their HTML color code. Just find the color you want and replace it in the respective slot below.

For example the default guild chat is :

<HTMLColor name="ctch_clan_name" color="0xbf00bf" />
<HTMLColor name="ctch_clan_text" color="0xbf00bf" />

Now I want this to be green cause thats what I'm use to from WoW so I look above and find Green

<HTMLColor name="green" color="0x008000" />

Now all I have to do is take the last part

color="0x008000"

and replace it in the bottom section to look like

<HTMLColor name="ctch_clan_name" color="0x008000" />
<HTMLColor name="ctch_clan_text" color="0x008000" />

Save your changes close it and you are all set.

THANK YOU GOD. This has been my biggest (minor) complaint so far. This is fantastic.

Yea I had to do something about the colors. It looks like if you want to do simple things like changing colors of something or the graphic of something like the hotbar frames all you have to do is use the same name as the standard UI and save it in the customized folder as the UI loads the files from the cusomized folder over the default one.

Good post, Galrith, but Funcom needs to realize we need this as in in-game option like almost all other MMOs allow.

GREAT thats been driving me insane! I really thought they would have a in game way to change colors on release, figured just didnt have it for OB....not so! Most games have it and I am unsure why they dont, but hopefully in the future AoC will....HINT HINT Funcom =)

Thanks so much for this. The UI customization (okay, the UI in general) is pretty miserable to work with.

Yea one would think this would be a must have feature in the chat options itself. However you work with what you got right?
