Change the color, add an outline or pattern to commander tags by modifying the texture.
- Source will remain private to prevent abuse.
- Hooks
PSSetShaderResource()does not otherwise read the game's memory.
Now supports loading from Arcdps if Nexus isn't present.
Loading through Arcdps is not well tested, please reach out if you experience issues.
Extras
In addition to commander tags, the addon also supports the mentor tag, squad markers, party target, and the chat background texture.
I'll add any low hanging fruit that benefits from the existing outline / recolor pipeline as long as I deem it not to provide a competitive advantage.

FAQ
I don't want to use Nexus or Arcdps, can I still use it?
Yes, follow the Standalone DLL Proxy installation instructions.
Can I make the commander tag bigger?
The addon allows for a 20% increase in size, it isn't possible to go any larger as the game doesn't allocate enough space for it.
Can I modify only the tag I'm following / Hide other tags?
No, all instances of each texture are replaced.
Is this addon allowed by Arenanet? Will I get banned?
While this addon is designed to be safe and compliant with ArenaNet's Third-Party Programs Policy, use of any third-party software with Guild Wars 2 is at your own risk.
