Headline transparency

[iradex]

Hello guys, well, i'm using

local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, f)
bg:SetBackdrop({
        bgFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
	edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
	edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameLevel(0)
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", f, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", f, 1, -1)

on Stuf Unit Frames and Acb_castbar to set it transparency, and i'm trying to use it on Headline, buti can't find where to put the code, and the frame name. Need some help

What you posted there is adding a background with 0.4 alpha.

What part of headline is it exactly that you want too add transparency too?

If it's the background you can probably just edit any of these values .. i just took a quick peek at headlines code..

hpbg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0,0.4)

if(UnitName('target') and frame:GetAlpha() == 1) then
			frame.bg:SetTexture(1, 1, 1,0.4)
		else
			frame.bg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0,0.4)
		end

I made Headline look that way a while ago, and I perused through the code, trying to find what I edited... to no avail. However, I guess I could post the entirety of my Headline code, even though there is no educational value in that... I'll keep looking first It's better to learn how to figure these things out than to have someone always hand it to ya

EDIT: Look down, the next post has the info

Wall of text incoming! Here are the changes that you are gonna have to make

if(UnitName('target') and frame:GetAlpha() == 1) then
	frame.bg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0)

local function SkinObjects(frame)
	local hp, cb = frame:GetChildren()
	local threat, hpborder, cbshield, cbborder, cbicon, overlay, oldname, level, bossicon, raidicon, elite = frame:GetRegions()

	local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, hp)
		bg:SetBackdrop({
			bgFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeSize = 1,
		})
		bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
		bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
		bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
		bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", hp, -1, 1)
		bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", hp, 1, -1)



	local offset = UIParent:GetScale() / hp:GetEffectiveScale()
	local hpbg = hp:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY')
	hpbg:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', offset, -offset)
	hpbg:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', -offset, offset)
	hpbg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0)
	hpbg:SetAlpha(0)
	frame.bg = hpbg

	local hpbg2 = hp:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY')
	hpbg2:SetAllPoints(hp)
	hpbg2:SetTexture(0, 0, 0)
	hpbg2:SetAlpha(0)

local cbbg2 = cb:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY')
cbbg2:SetAllPoints(cb)
cbbg2:SetTexture(0, 0, 0)
cbbg2:SetAlpha(0)

That SHOULD be all. Keep in mind that I use an older version, so there might be one or two things that have changed. I looked through the newer version, though, and it looks like it should work just fine. Lemme know if it works or not!
