    local bg = frame:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
    bg:SetAllPoints(true)
    bg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
    frame.bg = bg
end

oUF:RegisterLayout("10leej", Spawn)
oUF:SetActiveLayout("10leej")
oUF:Spawn("player")

Then add something else to it, like a name:

Code:

    frame.bg = bg

    local name = frame:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontNormal")
    name:SetPoint("BOTTOM", frame, "TOP")
    self:Tag(name, "[name]")
    frame.Name = name
end

Then move on to other stuff, like a health bar, power bar, etc.

Have you looked at the Blizzard UI code? There's not much efficiency to be found in there.

Well if your just changing the texture and bar sizes its efficient enough for me.
