Hi there,

I've been using the same code to place the same background on different frames in my UI. It works fine but I'd like to figure out a more efficient way.

For example, on my PlayerFrame (courtesy of LynMinimap) I might have the following code:

	local bg = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, PlayerFrame)
	bg:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', PlayerFrame, 0, -26)
	bg:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', PlayerFrame, 0, 26)
	bg:SetBackdrop({
		bgFile = [[Interface/Buttons/WHITE8X8]],
		tiled = false,
		insets = {left = -3, right = -2, top = -3, bottom = -3}
	})
	bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
	bg:SetFrameLevel(0)
	
	local trans = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, PlayerFrame)
	trans:SetBackdrop({
			bgFile = [[Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Background]],
			tiled = false,
			insets = {left = -6, right = -5, top = -6, bottom = -6}
	})
	trans:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', PlayerFrame, 0, -26)
	trans:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', PlayerFrame, 0, 26)
	trans:SetFrameLevel(0)
	trans:SetFrameStrata('BACKGROUND')
	trans:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.6)

Now I want to use this same background for my TargetFrame. Currently I have just copy/pasted the above code and replaced PlayerFrame with TargetFrame and it works, but now I have double the code. Is there a way I can do it more efficiently? Looking at other addons I have tried using "for _,frame in next" and "for index,value in ipairs" but I can't seem to make them work.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
