Thanks for the reply! Sorry I'm pretty new at this. I was able to use this code to make the compass frame red earlier. However like you said I really want to use the area glow, possibly even make a custom one as I prefer a glow to a simple recoloring of the border.
Code:
ZO_CompassFrameCenter:SetColor(0, 1, 1, 1)
ZO_CompassFrameLeft:SetColor(0, 1, 1, 1)
ZO_CompassFrameRight:SetColor(0, 1, 1, 1)
So to use new textures would I set them in my xml file and have then hidden when out of combat/visible when in?
