Aurora skinning help

So love Aurora except it's 2 pixel border doesn't work well with BobUI very well. So rather than making my own version of Aurora is there a way i can grab the CreateBG function Aurora uses and apply my own border function without having to modify Aurora itself (copyright reasons and all)?

I know I can just skin the frames using the Createborder function from !Beautycase but rather than indexing every frame I'd like to save myself the hassle.

You can access Aurora via the global "Aurora".
This table contains two tables:
Aurora[1] contains all functions and Aurora[2] contains constants and config.

You can change/hook the function CreateBG via 'Aurora[1].CreateBG'.

So then I can just do something like this?

Lua Code:

Aurora[1].CreateBG = function(frame)
    local f = frame
    if frame:GetObjectType() == "Texture" then f = frame:GetParent() end
    frame:CreateBorder(12,1,1,1)
 
    local bg = f:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
    bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", frame, -1, 1)
    bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", frame, 1, -1)
    bg:SetTexture("Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground")
    bg:SetVertexColor(0, 0, 0)
 
    return bg
end

Sorry not at the comp right now so can't really test via trial and error
