Forever Quest Tint

A small addon for World of Warcraft: Forever that tints the quest text background a light teal, to match the Forever logo, whenever the quest was not part of original Classic (vanilla).

Vanilla quests keep the normal parchment. Everything new to Forever gets a teal gradient rising from the bottom of the page, and a small infinity-sign marker after its name in the quest log and the objective tracker.

Install

1. Download the latest release zip.
2. Extract it so you have World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns\ForeverQuestTint.
3. Restart the game or type /reload.

Options

Type /fqt, or open Options → AddOns → Forever Quest Tint.

• Tint the parchment teal: turn the tint on or off.
• Add the WoW Forever logo: show the logo above the quest text, with or without the tint.
• Tint Questie’s ! and ? map icons: with Questie installed, draw the yellow ! and ? of non-vanilla quests in the tint colour on the map and minimap.
• Tint colour: the colour of the overlay.
• Bottom opacity: strength of the teal at the bottom of the page.
• Top opacity: strength where the fade ends. 0% fades out completely.
• Fade length: how far up the parchment the fade reaches.
• Quest name marker: an infinity sign after (or before) the name of non-vanilla quests in the quest log and objective tracker. Use the icon or your own text symbol, set its colour, size, position and spacing.
• Logo in the tracker: a small WoW Forever logo beside non-vanilla quests in the objective tracker.
• Quest objectives: recolour the objective lines of non-vanilla quests in the tint colour, or a colour of your choice.
• Preview: force the tint on or off for every quest, to see how it looks. Normal behaviour is “auto”.

Commands

/fqt: open the options.
/fqt preview on | off | auto: set the preview.
/fqt id: the ID of the quest you have open, and whether the addon considers it vanilla.
/fqt status: the addon version, and which of the supported UI addons it found.

Works with other UI addons

Nothing to configure: the addon detects these on its own.

Dialogue UI: its quest window gets the tint and logo, matching its Brown and Dark themes.

Immersion: the Quest Objectives and Rewards panel gets a teal glow, and the logo.

Storyline: the speech bubble gets a teal glow while it shows quest text, and the logo.

Lorewalker: in Classic mode, the quest page gets a teal glow (Light and Dark themes), and the logo on the title bar.

ClassicUI Forever: its quest log is tinted right to the page’s edges, with the marker in its list and quest watch. Its map pane is tinted too.

EllesmereUI: with its skin on, the quest window and quest log get a flat teal glow. The marker and tracker logo work in its quest tracker.

Questie: the yellow ! and ? of non-vanilla quests on the map and minimap are drawn in the tint colour. Questie’s data doesn’t yet cover most quests new to Forever, so many of them have no icon to tint yet.

Using another quest or tracker addon? Open an issue with its name.

How it decides what is vanilla

The addon contains a list of the quest IDs that existed in original Classic (VanillaQuests.lua). Any quest not on that list is tinted. The list was generated from the Classic quest database in Questie. A few genuine vanilla quests may be missing, and would show as teal. If you spot one, open an issue with the ID from /fqt id.

Only quests that are open in a quest window are tinted. Gossip windows have no quest ID, so they are left alone.
