What is a Frame Highlight?
A frame highlight can refer to several different things depending on the context. Let's explore the most common interpretations:
Face-framing highlights are a hair styling technique. As described in one source, they are "delicate strands of lighter hues that are strategically placed at the front of your hair, creating a luminous effect that beautifully accentuates your face". These highlights subtly brighten the face and require coloring only a few strands.

2. User Interface (UI) Design and Development: Highlighting Frames
In UI design contexts like Figma (as seen in a Figma forum post), a frame highlight typically refers to a visual cue that indicates a frame is selected or active. Problems can occur when multiple frames share the same name, affecting their selection highlight in prototype dialogs. [Reference: Single frames no longer highlight for selection in the prototype... https://forum.figma.com/t/single-frames-no-longer-highlight-for-selection-in-the-prototype-dialog-when-multiple-frames-share-the-same-name/58767 ] In other UI applications, frame highlighting might be used to indicate a specific element or provide feedback during user interaction. Examples include highlighting selected party frames in a game like World of Warcraft or a blue highlight frame scrolling across an iPhone screen, indicating an issue.

3. Data Visualization and Dashboarding: Highlighting within Frames
In data visualization tools like Tableau, a "frame highlight" could describe the visual emphasis placed on a specific data element within a dashboard or chart. Users may seek ways to replace highlighting with a floating frame for better presentation.

4. Text Highlighting and Question Design:
In some question design contexts, a "frame highlight" might describe adding a visual border or box around highlighted text within a question. [Reference: Highlight Question - Adding a frame to the text to be highlighted... https://community.qualtrics.com/custom-code-12/highlight-question-adding-a-frame-to-the-text-to-be-highlighted-23963 ] This differs from simple text highlighting that changes only the text color.
