Coloring standard buttons

[Billtopia]

What is the best way ( or is there more than one ) to change a buttons color from the standard WoW red to green (or whatever) if the option it toggles is enabled or not... For example I have a list of people that is generated from the real-id / battle-tag friends list. The addon puts asterisks around the names that it is selected to alert for... I was wondering if I could change the button colors as well to make it easier to differentiate the enabled ones from the non-enabled? I searched the web and here but I don't think I found what I was looking for...

The button you are seeing isn't colored at all (well, technically, it's colored white). It's a texture. If you try to color it green, it will turn into some greenish-red color.

You can... change the color of the text on the button, change the texture of the button, or use some other method to display your info. (edit: unless you want the greenish-red color)

OK... that is what I feared... lol I guess I will have to figure a way to change the textures when I update the text on them (it is a virtual scrolling list that activates and deactivates alerts on a per real-id / battle-tag basis) I suppose it is about time I figured out some more advanced stuff lol

ok... so I have these nice green button textures... (recolored red ones from wow) and they do not cover the whole button, and I cant tell wow to SetTexCoord them as they are set by SetPushedTexture, SetNormalTexture, SetHighlightTexture...

So, what am I missing...
