Glest GUI Skin

[hailstone]

When I have finished adding a GUI lib there will be a job for someone to create a Glest style skin.

This means learning the skinning system, creating xml files and images for widgets, mouse icons, fonts, etc.

Don't get caught up on the specific system at the moment. What we need is designs for: button, check box, drop down box, scroll bars, mouse icons, window, status  bar. There are probably more but that will do for now.

I'll try to do something.

Thanks Gameboy.

It is likely we will use CEGUI (just need to get the OK from Daniel) so here is an application (for Windows) where you can practise skinning.  cegui_test.zip (2.27 MB)

A..... how do i do this?
When I try to open the .exe file it says "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

[hailstone]

I think this is happening because you don't have some files that come with Visual Studio. http://typethinker.blogspot.com/2007/12/visual-c-application-configuration.html

Try putting these files in the same directory as the exe. msvc_runtime.zip (454.76 KB)

I'm not sure if both are needed.

[gameboy]

It's still shows the same message.

Try this exe. gui.zip (432.26 KB)
I don't think the other dlls i provided are needed.

If that doesn't work you might need to use the runtime installer

Okay it works, now onto work.....
