Bar background opacity slider

[siegester03]

Is it possible to get a background opacity slider for timer bars? I'm using a small pixel texture for my minimalist UI, but the bars are hardcoded in DBT.lua with a 30% background opacity.

Alternatives are to allow bar heights to be set all the way down to 1, but then font and timer texts would need custom offset options too. Seems much simpler to use a one pixel bar texture, but allow the background opacity to be set to 0.

I'm brand new to LUA and the WoW APIs, but can submit a PR if this is something you're willing to add. I've started an initial stab at doing this here - master...siegester03:DBM-Unified:bar-background-opacity but I image more work is needed still

Can't you just use the transparency slider? it already exists. In fact i used it recently to make small bars invisible, effectively making only large bars that appear the only timers I see.

Or am I misunderstanding intent?

I am not trying to hide the bars completely, I just use a very minimalist UI and want them 2-3px tall on the screen with a fully transparent background. I created a texture that gives me the bar height I want with the text displayed above it, but I still see the full sized 30% opacity background behind the text. I'd like to had that background
