How is a custom texture file referenced in the XML attributes?

I'm creating some custom images just to dress up my UI. Everything I have found says it must be a DDS (DTX5) file format so that's what I have created.
These files have been placed directly under my addon folder in a sub-folder titled "Textures".
I'm using the <Texture ... textureFile="subfolder/filename.dds" > attribute to try to locate the file.
All I get is black. Tried deleting shader.cooked file and reloading but that didn't work.
I guess I have 2 questions: 1) where do I place the custom textures, and 2) how do I reference them in the XML file.

votan73✭✭✭The path is relative to the "Addons" folder, not your addon.
<Texture ... textureFile="Textures/subfolder/filename.dds" >
Also make sure the width and height is dividable by 8.1 -
Hav0chSoul ShrivenThanks for the quick response.
To clarify, the file path should be ... "addonFolder/subfolder/file.dds"?0 -
Hav0chSoul ShrivenSuccess!
NOTE for anyone saving with Paint.net, the DXT5 option is not the correct choice. See the image below to get a working DDS file for ESO.
