A World of Warcraft add-on that provides more obvious action button coloring for out of mana/rage/energy and out of range conditions.
Configure colors through the RangeColors interface options panel.
Optionally, configure a specific color for when the ability is both out of range and low on mana.
The addon does not work at all in Classic.

Interesting. It's working for me. Are you sure you downloaded the Classic version? The main file will only work if you enable out of date addons. If you are running the classic version, then let me know what other addons you are running and I will check to see if they are conflicting with RangeColors.
In reply to yarko_wow:
I am using the following addons:
NeatPlates
Deadly Boss Mods
Dismounter
Real Mob Health
Vendor Price
Bartender
Questie
WeaponSwingTimer
OmnciCC
Recount
Spy Classic
RangeColors
ClassicSpellActivations
ClassicCastbars
ClassicAuraDurations
Even if i disable all the addons other than RangeColors, RangeColors still doesn't work
EDIT: I wasn't disabling Bartender because i didn't want to lose my profile. Just learned your addon doesn't work with bartender.
In reply to Charles825:
You're right. Bartender has changed quite a bit, and I didn't spend time on getting my addon to work with it.
Classic version available under files tab.

Thanx!
Sadly this one doesn't work for me, would have been quite handy though :/
P.S. using it with game version 5.4.7, "Bartender4 - v4.5.13.2" and "Button Forge - v0.9.32"
Not sure if you're aware, but it is using quite a lot of CPU cycles even with no target selected. I was watching it with Addon Profiler and Option House.
Thank you for letting me know. Yes, both RangeColors and Cooldowns are relative CPU hogs. Someone reported this back in Wrath and for RangeColors it's because the addon is always watching mana/energy/rage regardless of your target. That's so that the buttons will be colored to indicate, for example, that you don't have enough mana to teleport or to heal and things like that even when you are just sitting in the city. For Cooldowns, its the way I am handling the action buttons (which is different from other buttons like in the spell book) which is to constantly scan their cooldown status. I don't like this solution, but it's the best I am able to do at this time. I have tried to figure out a better way to do these to reduce their load, but I have not been able to. Fankly, I am just not a genius. :) I am sure other addons with far superior authors have solved these problems, and I could go looking to steal ideas, but I don't feel right doing that. I am always thinking about these issues and maybe someday a light will go off and I will come up with something better. (I tried another approach with Cooldowns recently and failed miserably. :)) Fortunately, so far, it hasn't caused me any problems. I'm not sure what the negative consequesnces are. I suppose that if all the addons I ran were CPU intensive eventually I would run into frame rate problems. But I simply haven't seen this yet, whether I am just out soloing or raiding with other raid addons loaded and such. So, these addons aren't a problem for me, and I assume for most other users. I have compared frame rates with and without my addons loaded (I have several others that I haven't released to the public) and I don't see any framerate difference.
So, yeah, they take up a bit more CPU time, but as long it it doesn't hinder my gameplay, I am happy with them, but I understand why others might not be. Thankfully, there are better addons out there for them.
Uploading alpha version for Pandaria.
FYI, this breaks some vehicles including Amber-Shaper Mutated Construct in HoF, which means your raid will wipe. :(
There is an alternative here

I love this addon, update or alternative addon?
Has anyone found a suitable replacement for this? Or figured out a way to update it? I love this mod, and having to rely on the default UI indicators is driving me crazy, especially for the abilities I have bound to the ` key.
Well it looks like this addon has finally died.
Patch 5.0.4 causes this to play havoc with the vehicle bar. Guess it's time to try and find an alternative :(
Is there any plan to update this for 5.0?
