Frames provide two methods to determine the tint applied to their backdrop files:

• GetBackdropColor() returns the tint applied to the background component of a frame's backdrop
• GetBackdropBorderColor() returns the tint applied to the border component of a frame's backdrop

red, green, blue, alpha = frame:SetBackdropColor()
red, green, blue, alpha = frame:SetBackdropBorderColor()

Returns

red

Number - Remaining proportion of the original red colour, from 0 to 1

green

Number - Remaining proportion of the original green colour, from 0 to 1

blue

Number - Remaining proportion of the original blue colour, from 0 to 1

alpha

Number - Remaining proportion of the original opaqueness, from 0 to 1

Notes

• These values describe any tint applied to the backdrop files, not the actual colour and alpha of each pixel in those file
• These values also ignore other sources of transparency that could affect the appearance, such as Region:SetAlpha()

Patch changes

• Patch 1.11.0 (2006-06-19): Added.
