View Full Version : Editing the borders: Backdrop

I trying to figure out how to change the border of my unit frames to a custom one.

With the gui, Im able to pinpoint some file located in some "Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltop-Background\ folder. This is also confirmed in the layout.lua file:


Nurfed_Unit_backdrop = {
bgFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background",
edgeFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border",
It has three options: Plain, Square and Round (three different files I guess).

My question: Where is this image file(s) located? There are nowhere to be found in the Nurfed folder (or nurfed options folder) so my guess is it's a file in some original WoW mpq file. If it is, what dimensions are those file(s) and what do I need to know about them? (so I can make a custom one)

And finally: How do I add my custom one? Just placing the file in a folder and point to it via the nurfed GUI doesn't work.

If I remember right, Fridgid used a custom background in his layout. I'd suggest looking at his layout, and Im sure there was a custom texture in the images folder you needed for his layout.

Couldn't find anything on how to use your own BG.
There were no paths to the image folder in any of those lua files.
