How to color the border of a frame?

[Gregity]

Just the border, not the entire frame.

panel:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface/Tooltips/UI-Tooltip-Background", 
                   edgeFile = "Interface/BUTTONS/UI-SliderBar-Border.png",
                   edgeSize = 4, 
                   insets = { left = 1, right = 1, top = 1, bottom = 1 }
                   })

I'd like to turn the UI-SliderBar-Border golden, not grey.

How do I do this without making the background golden?

Do I need two frames, one with no bgfile that gets colored, and one that is only the edgefile?

You would simply use the following statements.

frame:SetBackdrop(bd);
frame:SetBackdropColor(bg.red,bg.green,bg.blue, bg.alpha);
frame:SetBackdropBorderColor(bc.red, bc.green,bc.blue, bc.alpha);

where bd is the backdrop table you listed, bg is a table of red,green,blue,alpha values and bc another table of red,green,blue,alpha values.

Hope that helps you.

You do not need to construct a table to use SetBackdropColor or SetBackdropBorderColor. If you do not already have a table (eg. in your addon's SavedVariables) you should not waste memory constructing a table just to look up the values and pass them separately; just pass the values you want.

Also FYI, those functions are listed right next to SetBackdrop on the Widget API list on Wowpedia. If you're working with frames and aren't familiar with all of the functions, that's probably a good page to bookmark and check often.

True that Phanx.

Sorry, the code I posted was part of my addon where by the color table was a part of the options table I use. Of course you can directly set the color portions.

Thank you both!

I'm hunting all around trying find things. I had seen the background ones, I just missed the border one. Google wasn't helping so I knew the folks here would be able to tell me.
