LF Help making my Minimap's border 1 px thick.

[solvexx]

This is what I am using ATM.
It is a combination of things I have found from websites and gotten help with.
I am looking to change my border to a 1 px thick border though.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

local blanktex = "Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8"
local insetsize = 1 -- This is so you can perform arithmetic on the border size to configure the inset size.
Minimap:SetBackdrop{
    edgeFile = blanktex,
    edgeSize = 1,
    insets = { -- These may not be adequate, hard to say with pixel smudging.
        left = insetsize,
        right = insetsize,
        top = insetsize,
        bottom = insetsize,
    },
}
Minimap:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0, 1)

So what is going on here is that you are setting a backdrop for the minimap, and leaving the background empty, but drawing a 1px border around the outside.

EDIT: I realized that the edge file's path variable was not defined, added to prevent any confusion.

Note regarding your in-line comment: Performing arithmetic on the 'insetsize' upvalue will obviously only influence actual layout if done before the :SetBackdrop call. Just to prevent any misconceptions.
