Returns background display style information for a questgiver dialog. The value returned can be used to look up background textures and text colors for display:

  • Background textures displayed in the default UI can be found by prepending "Interface\\ItemTextFrame\\ItemText-" and appending "-TopLeft", "-TopRight", "-BotLeft", "-BotRight" to the material string (e.g. "Interface\\ItemTextFrame\\ItemText-Stone-TopLeft").
  • Colors for body and title text can be found by calling GetMaterialTextColors(material) (a Lua function implemented in the Blizzard UI).

In cases where this function returns nil, the default UI uses the colors and textures for "Parchment".
