opacity with deficit health for GRID?

[Woxx1]

As it currently stands--unless im doing it all wrong--when health is knocked off in grid, a solid bar of black or class color is shown.

Its the deficit health. I would like a way to make that totally transparent. Nothing seems to work. Anyway around it?

I've been using a personal change to grid for a while...

I've been actually attempting to change it via external addon here:

If you'd like to change it to something else change this code here:

Lines 462-472 of GridFrame.lua:

function GridFrame.prototype:SetBarColor(r, g, b, a)
	if GridFrame.db.profile.invertBarColor then
		self.Bar:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b, a)
		self.BarBG:SetVertexColor(r * 0.2, g * 0.2, b * 0.2, 1)
	else
		self.Bar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 0, 0, 0.8)
		self.BarBG:SetVertexColor(r, g, b, a)
	end

	self:UpdateHealingBarColor()
end

Change to:

function GridFrame.prototype:SetBarColor(r, g, b, a)
	if GridFrame.db.profile.invertBarColor then
		self.Bar:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b, a)
		self.BarBG:SetVertexColor(1,1,1,1) --(red,green,blue,alpha)
	else
		self.Bar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 0, 0, 0.8)
		self.BarBG:SetVertexColor(r, g, b, a)
	end

	self:UpdateHealingBarColor()
end

self.BarBG:SetVertexColor(1,1,1,1) --(red,green,blue,alpha) would be whatever color you'd want, and setting the last digit to 0 would make the bar clear.

This only changes the bar that shows the deficit hp, however you'll still have to remove the color for the background color.
