Coloring auras by their buff/debuff type

[Clamsoda]

Good morrow,

I wanted to inquire about coloring the borders of my buffs and debuffs by their color type. I am aware that enabling showType, showBuffType, or showDebuffType will overlay the appropriate aura with a texture, colored by said aura's type, but is there any way to simply color the 1px by 1px border that already surrounds the aura?

Thank you very much.

Just add a PostCreateIcon function to your layout's Auras/Buffs/Debuffs element that modifies the button.overlay texture object's texture, points, texCoords, etc.

I'm not sure what "1px by 1px border" you're talking about, as oUF doesn't add any such texture to aura buttons. If your layout does, it's probably already using a PostCreateIcon function, in which case you should just get rid of the border texture object, and apply those properties to the button's overlay object instead.

Thanks for the reply as usual Phanx;

The oUF layout is my own, and I've not created ANY border for the auras, they inherently have a 1px by 1px border around them. As a reference, here is the code I use to produce my buffs and debuffs.

lib.generate_Buffs = function(f)
    b = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, f)
    b.size = 19
    b.num = 40
    b.spacing = 1
    b.onlyShowPlayer = false
    b:SetHeight((b.size+b.spacing)*4)
    b:SetWidth(f.width / 2)
    b:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", f, "TOPLEFT", 0, 1)
    b.initialAnchor = "BOTTOMLEFT"
    b["growth-x"] = "RIGHT"
    b["growth-y"] = "UP"
    b.showType = true
        
    f.Buffs = b
end

There are no hooks or callbacks, so the border is definitely inherent; that being said, I want to set the vertex color of said border, but I am not sure how to reference it.

Do you define "local b" anywhere? If not please make sure your variables stay local unless they should be applied to the global scope.

I know that because it is my bug.

Good call Zork ;]

I assume you mean just the border of the stock icons (the thing we always want to remove with SetTexCoord(0.1, 0.9, 0.1, 0.9)). If so then there is no way to color just that part of the texture.

@Phanx
oUF does add a border texture to the aura buttons unless the layout provides its own auras.CreateIcon function.
