   Hi,
   
   I am trying get the borders for Tukui back looking like they did in the previous T17 version but with no success, anyone that knows something about that?
   
   Edit: Okey, so I think that I found the code that was missing in the API
   
   So now the question is more in the ways of how do I add this to an external edit and get it to work? So that I dont have to manually paste the code into the api

   in preparation for BFA and the adjustments made in Tukui 18 I'm struggling with the following...
   
   lfdrole.lua has been removed from the Tukui\Libs\oUF\elements folder. This was the oUF part that (i guess) made it possible to set RoleIcons on our raidframes.
   I have no trouble updating the code for the RoleIcons. Something like this including options I'm adding. If I copy the lfdrole.lua from Tukui...

   Totally my bad, the lfdrole.lua wasn't removed, it has been renamed with some oUF updates. Tukz thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction!

   Using the event you had is correct, then set an OnEvent script to change the backdrop when the target changes. In the OnEvent script you need to check UnitClassification API to determine their type. I can't remember if that is the exactly correct name of the API, so do a search to make sure.

    Hello everyone.
    
    I dind't know how to add a background to the Unit Frames of (Player, Target, ToT) so i used kgPanels to add one.
    
    Now the Problem is i dind't think about it how it looks when i have no target haha (example on the image)
    
    Maybe someone know how i can resolve this or can help me out a little.
    
    Thanks and sorry for my bad english :)

    If someone else has the same problem someone helped me out in the kgpanels Forum.
    
    Set the target frame as the parent for your panel in kgPanels. If you don't know the name of your target frame, type /fstack and hover your mouse over it.
    
    Solved and looks now like this.
    
    The Names are. ElvUF_Player , ElvUF_Target , ElvUF_TargetTarget .

    You would need to call

    For example for the player frame:
    
    This would be best to do in a small external addon, but you can also just create a macro and run that macro every time you log in or reload.
