That simple.

I was trying with a file path that started at the EsoUI level, like it works in the default UI files. I will have to try again with starting the path at just the addon folder. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your answers.
Last step is dealing with vertex objects I guess.

I'm trying to load a dds file too.
Any problem to load a dds already in the client ("/esoui/art…") but impossible to load my dds.
It's just a 32x32 png converted in dds with the photoshop plugin. I try different options (DXT, 8.8.8.8, etc…) but it's doesn't work.
For the path I use something like : "MyAddonName/Img/Myfile.dds", with a Img folder in my addon.

Do you have some dds file already working to share please ?

I will give it a try.

*edit*

I will upload my first addon in a second. It shows how to work with textures and controls.

For a first view check:
http://code.google.com/p/zork-esoui/...extureTest.lua

When saving a DDS file choose DXT5 ARGB.


Result:


The green shield texture is the default one. The purple one I made myself.

*edit 2*

Addon is available here: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info33-zTextureTest.html

The simplest texture integration can be done via:

--window manager
      local wm = GetWindowManager()
     
      local c = wm:CreateTopLevelWindow(nil)
      c:SetDimensions(128,128)
      c:SetAnchor(CENTER,GuiRoot,CENTER,0,0)
     
      --texture referencing a local media folder
      c.icon = wm:CreateControl(nil, c, CT_TEXTURE)
      c.icon:SetTexture("zTextureTest/media/purple_shield.dds")
      c.icon:SetAnchorFill(c)

Thanks for the code.

Does it absolutely need to be a DDS? I seem to have some conversion errors when converting from PNG to DDS.
