My question is about profile switching, what didn't seem to work.
When i log my alt character and change the color of the red Layouts to Green of the Alt his profile . it automaticly ALSO changes the profile of my Main and made the red images to green.

Ive tried some things already.
1. Made layouts like Actionbarhunter , Actionbardruid (those look the same), and change the color of Actionbardruid to green. but the Hunter also went green.

2. i thought , maybe the problem is because its the same File/Image . so ive made 2 of each layout so i could make 1 red and the other 1 green . but after putting them into WoW . it gave the same problem

Sorry if my spelling is bad, and because of that it isn't understandable . ask me !

There is a couple of ways to handle it. The first is to set the vertex color of the texture you are rendering.

---kgClassColorPanel---
<OnLoad>
local _, class = UnitClass("player");
if class == "DRUID" then
self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.49, 0.04, self.bg:GetAlpha())
elseif class == "HUNTER" then
self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
end

If the texture is grayscale, this should blend your color into the texture, which may work to colorize those images in your background.

If you have textures in different files, you can use SetTexture to have class-specific backgrounds.

---kgClassArtPanel---
<OnLoad>
local _, class = UnitClass("player");
if class == "DRUID" then
self.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\Art\\DruidArt.tga")
elseif class == "HUNTER" then
self.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\Art\\HunterArt.tga" )
end

This is the basic idea. You can add classes or even use character names if you have two characters with the same class but want different art.

well, your screenshot is super tiny, so it's hard to see what you're referring to. But... If the color is changing on both characters, that means that you have both characters using either a) the same layout or b) the same profile.
