Requirements: TimerUtils
Well, to me this is useful.
The PlayerColors library does actually the same stuff several other libraries do: It colors the name of a player.
With one difference: Instead of needing additional functions to get the player name colored,
this hooks GetPlayerName and makes it return a colored player name. Instead of having a GetPlayerNameColored function, this library provides GetPlayerNameUncolored.
Here an example:

JASS:
library PlayerColors initializer init requires TimerUtils
//===========================================================================
// Information:
//==============
//
// There are already several libraries that support functions like GetPlayerNameColored,
// I know. This does actually the same thing, but the other way round.
// It hooks GetPlayerName so that it will always return the player name colored nicely
// and has got a GetPlayerNameUncolored function instead of that.
//
// Since this uses native hooking, you don't have to go through old maps and replace
// every 'GetPlayerName' with 'GetPlayerNameColored'. And colored player names
// make a map seem much more professional, believe me.
//
// This is pretty stable and still works correctly if you use functions like SetPlayerName and
// SetPlayerColor.
//
//===========================================================================
// Implementation:
//===============
//
// 1. Download a tool called 'JassNewGen', and unpack it somewhere. You need that
// edit to use this tool. The 'JassNewGen' is used very commonly and offers other
// nice features. You can find it at:
// [url]http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999[/url]
// You should also update to the latest JassHelper.
//
// 2. Make a new trigger, and convert it to custom text. Insert everything
// the library contains into that trigger.
//
// 3. Download TimerUtils from this link:
//
// and do the same implemenation stuff with it.
//
// 3. Save your map.
//
