In the EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml file, you would find the button that you want the color to be different. For example, I want to change the 6th button on the first hotbutton pad. I would look for the element labeled HB_Button6 (this is the default naming). In that element, you would find a set of tags that look like: <TextColor> <R>255</R> <G>255</G> <B>255</B> </TextColor> Set the RGB values to whatever color you want. Note: It will be this color for whatever hotkey you put there, with the exception of social hotkeys. They can define their colors in game. If that is what you already have tried, then I would have to see your whole hotbutton file to see if I can track down the problems.

Mouse over colors were added a few patches before also. __________________ Gold: 03/16/99 - 03/15/12 Silver: 03/16/12 - 03/15/18 Done:03/16/18 And with a heavy heart I bid adieu to Everquest Live.

Savok - Thanks for the tip I tracked down the patch notes you mentioned and I've learned how to use the custom mouseover text which makes it slightly more bearable - was there a way to have custom 'normal' text on the button or was it mouseover/pressed/disabled only?

Here is the full code fragment for text colours.

Code:

<TextColor>
	<R>255</R>
	<G>255</G>
	<B>255</B>
</TextColor>

<UseCustomMouseoverColor>true</UseCustomMouseoverColor>
<MouseoverColor>
	<R>0</R>
	<G>0</G>
	<B>255</B>
</MouseoverColor>

<UseCustomPressedColor>true</UseCustomPressedColor>
<PressedColor>
	<R>0</R>

This means a tag like: <AlignRight>True</AlignRight> will actually be interpretted as false, becasue "true" needs to be lower case. It is possible that some tags could possibly be case sensitive as well, but I can't confirm that.

Has anyone ever actually had success changing the normal text colour of the hotbuttons? This is from EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml

Code:


	<Button item = "HB_Button1">
		<ScreenID>HB_Button1</ScreenID>
		<Font>2</Font>
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<Location>
			<X>2</X>
			<Y>20</Y>
		</Location>
		<Size>
			<CX>40</CX>
			<CY>40</CY>
		</Size>
		<Text>1</Text>
		<TextColor>
			<R>0</R>
			<G>0</G>
			<B>0</B>
		</TextColor>
		<UseCustomMouseoverColor>true</UseCustomMouseoverColor>
		<MouseoverColor>
			<R>0</R>
			<G>0</G>
			<B>0</B>	
		</MouseoverColor>
		<DecalSize>
			<CX>40</CX>
			<CY>40</CY>
		</DecalSize>
		<ButtonDrawTemplate>
			<Normal>A_HotButton1Normal</Normal>
			<PressedFlyby>A_HotButton1PressedFlyby</PressedFlyby>
			<Pressed>A_HotButton1Pressed</Pressed>
			<Flyby>A_HotButton1Flyby</Flyby>
			<Disabled>A_HotButton1Disabled</Disabled>
		</ButtonDrawTemplate>
	</Button>

The color of the text for these buttons is set ingame, just right click the button and you'll get the popup showing the command for that button that will let you choose the color.
