Creating first addon - Talking Head Frame - Help please

[draikos]

Hi all,

I'm quite impressed with how ElvUI has styled the Talking Head Frame and wanted to do something similar but use the vanilla wow ui.

I'm very new to LUA coding and this is my first addon creation for WoW and would really like to get it working. I have tested the codes below in-game using the "/run XX" to see if it would have the desired changes I want - and it does! I noticed it has to be reapplied each time the Talking Head Frame is loaded. I though it would be best to include this in an addon rather than macro format hence why I wanted to create this addon.
Below is my code - it would be very much appreciated if you can assist with getting this working or perhaps someone create this option in their own addon or something similar.
Any help is much appreciated thanks!

local TalkingHeadFrame = CreateFrame("FRAME","THF")
local TALKINGHEAD_OPEN = "TALKINGHEAD_REQUESTED"

local function main(frame, event, ...)
	if event == 'TALKINGHEAD_REQUESTED' then
		TalkingHeadFrame.BackgroundFrame:SetAlpha(0)
		TalkingHeadFrame.MainFrame.CloseButton:Hide()

		TalkingHeadFrame.NameFrame.Name:SetTextColor(1, 0.82, 0.02)
		TalkingHeadFrame.NameFrame.Name:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
		TalkingHeadFrame.NameFrame.Name:SetShadowOffset(2, -2)

		TalkingHeadFrame.TextFrame.Text:SetTextColor(255,255,255)
		TalkingHeadFrame.TextFrame.Text:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
		TalkingHeadFrame.TextFrame.Text:SetShadowOffset(2, -2)
	end
end

TalkingHeadFrame:RegisterEvent(TALKINGHEAD_OPEN)
TalkingHeadFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", main)
