    elvui panel textures

    So I noticed the area where you can add textures to your chat panels a few days ago but I cannot figure it out. I added the .tga textures I want to use into the elvui texture folder like this

    /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/ElvUI/media/textures/bluecircles.tga

    and I restarted my game after. Then I go in and put that in the "Panel Texture (left)" box but it just makes a green square show up in my left chat, not the texture. I also tried just doing "Interface/AddOns/ElvUI/media/textures/bluecircles.tga" but neither works. Is this b/c I'm on a mac? or am I doing something wrong?

    Are you sure the tga file's dimensions are powers of two? That's a requirement if you want WoW to load the texture.

    Make sure your image dimensions are a power of two like Treeston mentioned

    256x128 or 512x256 are good dimensions for your image to fit inside the chat frame without becoming distorted.

    Found this thread surfing the web for some nice textures for my own chat panels. Read the original post and realized I can help with this problem, for any others out there who might have this problem.

    If you have a mac, and your paths are designed with / instead of \ you have to type in your path in ElvUI but with \.
    What Kirrix should have typed in would be:
    Interface\AddOns\ElvUI\media\textures\bluecircles.tga

    Not Interface/AddOns/ElvUI/media/textures/bluecircles.tga
    Or /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/ElvUI/media/textures/bluecircles.tga

    EDIT* Yes i'm aware it's an old thread.
