Can't get custom texture to show

[Cirdan]

I'm trying to make a custom map border, but it will not show up at all in the game.

I believe I have transparency set up correctly in Photoshop

The code isn't that complex...

	local minimapFrame = CreateFrame('FRAME')
	local border = Minimap:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY')
	border:SetTexture('Interface\\AddOns\\rcHUD\\mapBorder')
	border:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', minimapFrame, 'TOPLEFT')
	border:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', minimapFrame, 'BOTTOMRIGHT')

	minimapFrame:SetParent(Minimap)
	minimapFrame:SetFrameLevel(1)
	minimapFrame:SetAllPoints(Minimap)
	minimapFrame:SetBackdrop({ 	
		bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\rcHUD\\mapBorder",
		insets = {left = -4, right = -4, top = -4, bottom = -4},
		}) 

	minimapFrame:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0)

I tired setting the border's point to UIParent, and no image is shown stretched across the screen.

Textures in WoW need to have a size which is a power of two. That's probably where your issue lies.

Na, it was a power of two. It started working after I restarted WoW. Thanks

WoW loads textures at startup. You need to restart the game everytime you add new textures.

Note that if you merely overwrite an existing texture you only have to call a UI reload, but the loading of NEW files require a reboot of WoW.exe.
