== Elements ==
* <[[XML/Inset|BackgroundInsets]]> - how far into the frame the background will be drawn (higher values are thicker edges)
* <[[XML/Value|EdgeSize]]> - how large each copy of the edgeFile becomes on-screen (i.e. border thickness and corner size)
* <[[XML/Value|TileSize]]> - how large each copy of the bgFile becomes on-screen
* <[[XML/Color|Color]]> - defines a background color
* <[[XML/Color|BorderColor]]> - defines a border color

== Attributes ==
* bgFile (string) - texture file for frame background (.blp or .tga format)
* edgeFile (string) - Which texture file to use as frame edge (.blp or .tga format)
* tile (bool) - true if background texture will be repeated as tiles, otherise is stretched, . Default is 'false'.
* alphaMode ([[XML/ALPHAMODE|ALPHAMODE]]) - Type of blend if any used for the colors or texture.  Default is 'BLEND'.
