KGPanels + Vertical Gradient Coloring

[Lily.Petal]

I was wondering on how to color borders/backgrounds in KGPanels with a vertical gradient coloring. I am using a code to make them Class colored, but I also want a way to make the actual color gradient.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:
Was using:

local c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[select(2, UnitClass("player"))]
self.bg:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL", c.r, c.g, c.b, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1)

The first 1 is the alpha of the class color~

Problem with this is that I can't figure out how to reverse the colors xD The black is on top, and the class color is on bottom.

just swap the colors in your script.

local c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[select(2, UnitClass("player"))]
self.bg:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL", 0, 0, 0, 1, c.r, c.g, c.b, 1)

Thank you Seerah, feel like a slight fool :P

Ugh, now I am trying to do it with my borders, but I'm having no luck what so ever. Tried:


self.BackdropBorder:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL", 0, 0, 0, 1, c.r, c.g, c.b, 1)
self.BackdropBorderColor:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL", 0, 0, 0, 1, c.r, c.g, c.b, 1)

and some other things. But having now luck :<

You'll have to make individual panels for each border, and set their gradient. It can get to be a pain! Some of my old kgPanels frame lists went on for miles "Frame1BG" "Frame1BorderTopRight" "Frame1BorderTopLeft" etc

Right. Borders themselves can't do gradients.

Highly depressing :< if I was using straight pixel-like borders it would be fine, sadly I am using the games Tooltip border :P

Thanks for the info~

Couldn't you take the tool tip border, copy it and import into an art program (after converting, of course) and add a gradient to it that way? Then import it into kgPanels after you're done.

Ofc, I'm just to lazy to do it :P

I prefer to think that you just want to do it with code. It's sounding like using a graphics program might be easier in the long run, though.

Would require me to open up more windows, download the image, crop it, and all the good stuff in between as well as uploading it :< I'll stick with my silly class color on the whole border :P

If this works correctly, here are two Blizzard tooltip border graphics. One .png, and one .psd for Photoshop. Just in case you might need them some other time.
