Violation ( BG Alpha ) Request

[Oakayam]

Heya

I like Viloation as mod and I would like to use my custom eePanels for the background so it matches my UI. However Violation comes with the default background I have not been able to edit lua successfully to get rid of it .

Any help how to change the code to set background to transparent would be appreciated.

This was on the wowace forums in a few places, I believe. I found this in the main Vio thread and I just happen to have it on my desk in front of me.

Open up Violation.lua and search for "SetBackdropColor"

There are 3 numbers separated by commas - these are RGB values (divided by 255). After the 3rd number, add another comma and a 0 to set alpha to 0.

If you want to get rid of the texture at the top of the box (the red/blue/green title bar), look at the backdrop line right above backdrop color. Replace the word windowBackdrop with nil.

If you got a text editor that shows line numbers (like JEdit, Notepad++ among other) then the line you want is 2803

Replace 2803 with

	f:SetBackdropColor(24/255, 24/255, 0)

If you also want to get rid of the colored title bar and make it transparent then replace 2802 with:

	f:SetBackdrop(nil)

I really wish the Violation devs would build this option to into the mod as it is annoying to go back and hack the mod every time it updates.

Thanks guys I appreciate

I will try it as soon as I get home.

Just a short update ..

I decided to remove backdrop completely and changed the line 2802. It seemed to unmask couple spelling errors within violation.lua file. After I corrected them Violation runs perfectly and its background free

Thank you very much
