FrameXML $parent

Thanks Seerah. It appears the aforementioned frames are childless. Printing GetChildren() against them doesn't return anything, and doing so against their parents doesn't return anything that /framestack didn't already reveal.

What's more confusing to me, is that in running the below code, I expected *all* UI textures to be affected:

local abc = function()
    for i, v in pairs(_G) do
        if type(v) == "table" then
            local meta = getmetatable(v)
                if meta
		and meta.__index
		and type(meta.__index) == "table"
		and meta.__index.GetTexture
		and v:GetObjectType() == "Texture"
		then		
                    v:SetDesaturated(1)
		    v:SetVertexColor(1, 0, 0)
                end
        end
    end
end

But this hodgepodge is what results (some textures left completely untouched, some desaturated but not recolored ):


My total inexperience with global tables aside for a sec , it feels like there is a methodology to solving this that I'm totally missing.
