I would assume it takes some getting used to the textures, but should be doable. It's just getting the measurements right.

Here have a look : This is the default tooltip http://wowprogramming.com/BlizzArt/I...tip-Border.png it is replaceable, you just make a new PNG (or TGA, png might be easier though) and convert it to BLP. Load up the game (very important) and see what it looks like.

I don't remember where I found it, but here is the border texture from your first screenshot; it's been laying around on my hard drive for years. Remove the .txt extension; the forums aren't configured to allow .tga files for some reason.

Offtopic: Wow, that texture is old. I remember seeing it on the old discordmods.com (melli is the statusbar texture used in conjuction with the border) but I forgot what the UI was called.

On topic: how did you name your texture physically (what is the full path relative to the wow directory?) and how are you importing it into kgpanels?

Also, make sure that you have completely exited/restarted WoW.

Reload will only reload code that is in existing files.
For textures and new files to show up, you need to quit and reopen the actual client...

That's an odd path too.

Eg My WoW install (path to the exe file) is D:\WoW\
So my add ons will be D:\WoW\Interface\Addons\
And to use that texture: D:\WoW\Interface\Addons\myTextures\texture.tga
For example.

Tried what? Restarting WoW? Double-checking your file-path?

Where is WoW actually installed on your computer?

The screenshot shows you're pointing at a file on the D:\ that isn't your AddOns folder. I was under the impression that all custom textures used in kgPanels had to be in a path relative to your \Interface folder, or at the very least, your WoW folder. Is this incorrect?

EDIT: If that is the correct path, I believe it should be (starting with your Interface folder):

Interface\\AddOns\\myTextures\\WHaTeVeR.tga

EDIT2: Art Library - http://www.wowace.com/addons/kg-pane...kg-panel-wiki/

Should be:
Code:
\\Interface\\Addons\\Glassborder\\glassborder.tga

I just tested the border and it's fine
Yes, my UI sucks I know. (It's the minimap that got the border)

Turns out it ate the rest of the post...

Here's the location of the texture correctly (In my case)
Interface\\AddOns\\LookInTehCorner\\media\\glassborder

So you do :
Interface\\AddOns\\myTextures\\glassborder as suggested Should work fine.

No, this is correct. All paths in WoW are relative to the WoW program folder; you should not include the path to the WoW program folder itself. You can put things outside of the Interface folder, but not outside the WoW program folder, and logically you should put all addon-related things like custom textures in the AddOns folder.

Also correct, though you can actually omit the ".tga" extension if you want:

Interface\\AddOns\\myTextures\\glassborder
