retail. it’s hard to read the quest tracker, I’d like to change the shading a little of the background, like I can with the chat window. any options here?
You could try something like:
/run local o,t=ObjectiveTrackerBlocksFrame.CampaignQuestHeader t=o:CreateTexture() t:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", o.Background) t:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", o.Background) t:SetPoint("BOTTOM", ObjectiveTrackerFrame) t:SetColorTexture(0, 0, 0, 0.5)

what is that? a formal language or just some home grown scripting framework that blizzard uses?
is that something that would have to be done at every login? which, not really knowing what I’m doing wouldn’t be a bad way to go at all. I see some text files that seem to be related to UI, or would that be making a perm. change in those?
It’s Blizzard’s API implemented in Lua. There’s a site that will allow you to turn that into an addon so it runs every time you log in, but I don’t remember the name of it. I’m sure someone will post it soon.

You can copy/paste the script as is into your chat entry box each time you login to add the background to the Objective Tracker or you can (at any time) copy/paste everything but the /run into the website addon.bool.no which will turn the script into a wow addon to donwload and install so it runs automatically.
Deleting the addon will remove the automatic background if you no longer want it.
As Ehiztari says, wow addons are implimented using the lua language.
