The texture turning green is an indicator that there's something wrong with the image file, either it's encoded wrong, dimensions are invalid, or the file could not be found or didn't exist at the time the game client started.

WoW is very picky about its textures. The image needs to be encoded as a 32-bit TGA (TGA with alpha layer). Most image editors only encode 24-bit TGAs. The dimensions are required to be a power of 2 between 8 and 512 inclusive. These do not need to be the same, for example, you can have a 256x128 sized texture image.





On another note:

I seriously hope you're not really doing this.
Well i just ctrl+c-d it from my addon, it's just a showcase tho. :P
