It's not that I'm more interested in xml. It's simply the fact most tutorials and information I find is in xml and not lua. I would really like it much more to do it in lua code strictly but most of the learning information focuses deeply on xml instead of lua. But I've got the code working pretty good right now however the mini map and chat window sometime fall behind my image that I'm using. I'm using <Layer level="BACKGROUND"> which I thought was the furthest background you can get but for some reasone when I move the mini map or chat system around my addon is layred infront of it and not in the deepst background. It would be helpfull if you could show me how to fix this in xml and how to code it in lua instead of xml. Here is my current xml code.
