Damn Quest Icons   Popular!
Ever hate when you're questing and you have 20 quests in your quest log, and you need to click through 2-3 different panels to find out which one is the one you've completed? This mod solves that by graying out the "?" icon and the "*" bullet point on quest turn in panels when the quest isn't completed yet.

Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r399 | shadowed.wow | 2007-11-28 01:46:00 -0800 (Wed, 28 Nov 2007) | 1 line

* Switched methods of doing text checks to just strip out everything we don't like, if the check fails because a mod does something
special you're out of luck 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r369 | shadowed.wow | 2007-11-14 01:34:14 -0800 (Wed, 14 Nov 2007) | 1 line

* Fixed a bug caused by WoW 2.3 due to quest text now having color codes wrapped around them, moved to GetToThePoint's method
of checking quest names by storing the original as it's added instead of going off of the GetText() results. Should be a bit
more accurate hopefully 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r354 | shadowed.wow | 2007-11-10 14:11:49 -0800 (Sat, 10 Nov 2007) | 1 line

* Updated all TOC information to 20300, added revision info to the version field, also the author field is now consistent instead
of using 5 different character names 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r341 | shadowed.wow | 2007-11-04 17:38:33 -0800 (Sun, 04 Nov 2007) | 1 line

* Fixed quests with ( and ) breaking the checks
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r303 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-27 11:11:33 -0700 (Sat, 27 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* Fixed quests with dashes breaking checks if only one part of it has brackets in it (For example, Electro-Shock Goodness)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r256 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-09 16:12:52 -0700 (Tue, 09 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* Added check so quests that have no objectives are automatically considered completed, some quests like the "return to blah"
aren't considered complete, but they are in reality 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r253 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-08 15:18:04 -0700 (Mon, 08 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* Fixed up the logic so we specifically use the correct one needed depending on the mod (if any) being used to modify quest information

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r242 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-06 20:29:08 -0700 (Sat, 06 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* Trying an improvement to the complete detection so it works better
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r238 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-02 20:42:58 -0700 (Tue, 02 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* Apparently, isActive means isAvailable
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r236 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-02 15:51:46 -0700 (Tue, 02 Oct 2007) | 1 line

* I'm 99% sure I actually got it working this time
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r234 | shadowed.wow | 2007-10-02 09:39:42 -0700 (Tue, 02 Oct 2007) | 2 lines

* Hopefully fixed rows not being reset to no gray scale if they aren't a turn in quest that we've accepted
* Changed to the SetDesaturation that Blizzard provies in UIParent.lua incase the players graphics card doesn't support it normally

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r227 | shadowed.wow | 2007-09-30 21:51:54 -0700 (Sun, 30 Sep 2007) | 1 line

* Hopefully fixed a case where icons would show up as gray regardless of being completed or not
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r222 | shadowed.wow | 2007-09-30 10:16:35 -0700 (Sun, 30 Sep 2007) | 1 line

* Added another string match check this should cover for both different methods of modifying quest functions and text
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r221 | shadowed.wow | 2007-09-29 16:39:16 -0700 (Sat, 29 Sep 2007) | 1 line

* Improved to also gray out the quest bullet point for the current quest/available quest/ect panel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r200 | shadowed.wow | 2007-09-25 13:57:47 -0700 (Tue, 25 Sep 2007) | 1 line

* Toc updated to 20200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r26 | shadowed.wow | 2007-05-31 11:30:06 -0700 (Thu, 31 May 2007) | 1 line

I have no idea what I changed, but whatever
------------------------------------------------------------------------

No not the ones on mouse. Even the ones in the quest text thingy. Some show "!" when quest is finished.

*EDIT*
Well after testing for hrs theres still a problem , I know you tryed realy hard trying to find out what the problems are.. Now what happends is even when the quest is complete it still shows gray when it should be a gold "?" Not all thew time but some..Not sure if this is becouse of Blizzards bugs in game? I want to thank you for your time and effort into doing this addon...

Maybe this extra info will help? Trying to say I think it's some 2.3 change and not your addon specifically.
Yes, they did specifically change stuff with 2.3, but other changes were done due to those. A new method (which is r399) is being tried to see if it fixes it.

I'd like to chiime in that "yes" as well... only loading up DQI, and hitting a quest giver with multiple quests, I get that nil error. Doesnt happen on singular quests. This started happening with 2.3, and your last couple updates for 2.3. So either its the last couple updates, or its something in 2.3. Either way, its an error and only occurs with just DQI loaded.

Does the error persist without any mods except DQI enabled? I see nothing wrong with Quest Initiators that it'd break this.

Happening to much for me i have to drop this addon untill theres a fix=( I'll miss it but it wasnt working more than half the time
Sadly, the main reason I can't get it to work fully is I have to deal with incompatibilities that other authors create by modifying it.

Given I can't replicate it, are you using any sort of specific mod that modifys the gossip frame?

Unfortunately my problems with the dark yellow icon persists. I've now come to the conclusion that if I reload UI it will always show the proper icon afterwards. I'm using the latest version. Hope it helps.

I'm also getting the same error as tralkar with 'trim' stuff. It appears when I speak to a quest giver which has several quests available. Could also be when they have "Current quests" and "Available quests".
