power bar coloring...

[barbol12]

hello, quick question.

how do i color the backdrop of the power bar to be the same color as the statusbar but just lower alpha... for instance, if i have class power bar on for target, how can i color the backdrop to be class colored as well, just lowered alpha. or if i have a custom color i want to use, and have the backdrop be that color as the statusbar, just lower alpha..

Hi barbol12,

If you just want the background to be the same color but darker, you can just set it up like this:

frame.Power.colorClass = true
frame.Power.bg.multiplier = 0.25

That will make the power bar’s background the same color as the foreground, but only 25% as bright.

If you really want the alpha (opacity) to be different, you can just set the background’s alpha when you create it:

frame.Power.colorClass = true
frame.Power.bg.multiplier = 1 -- so it’s the same color

frame.Power.bg:SetAlpha( 0.25 )

Or you could combine the two to make the background darker and more transparent!
