Default Issue with advancedloot window. Trying to fix before TLP.

So, I've been working on some things with a custom UI I've been maintaining for a while and one thing I never got around to fixing was the " free grab," button will not show up on an advancedloot window that uses transparency.

So I figure.... giving it a flat texture should do the trick. The problem is I can't seem to find what .xml file points a texture towards the advanced loot window. It doesn't appear to be the actual advanced loot window xml.

I also tried adding a texture using the code one would use. It did not work. Maybe I did something wrong, but I suspect another file is what points to it.

Basically two of the main textures normally used in the default UI wnd_bg_dark_rock and light for my UI are just different transparencies , a full transparency and a darker one ( i was not the original author of this UI, but I've kept it updated and changed things.)

Update: I did figure out it was the draw template in the templates xml that is where textures are assigned. However when I found the appropriate one that the advanced loot window uses and replaced it with.... some random non transparent texture, it did not allow me to see the " free grab " button for whatever reason.

It works, it just can't be seen and I don't know why. It's literally the default .xml for the advanced loot window.

My other windows are transparent or dark transparent and they show buttons just fine.

My UI's folder relies on a lot of stuff from the default folder. It's not a particularly complex UI, basically a dark mode that's reminiscent of velious era UI default. So, I even checked through a lot of xmls in the default folder to see if it's there since they share the same textures, of which, in the default folder they are solid textures and are commonly used on a lot of elements of the ui.

For the record I'm not any type of software developer. Just a random person curious enough to screw around with this stuff and has had relative success with trial and error.
