Downloaded the test.zip it runs with no issues and is functional. I'm just not a big fan of the Irrlicht GUI, it's.......ugly to say the least :P

Ugly might be an understatement
I now have a pretty in depth understanding of the GUI system though and am available to pretty it up. Which GUI visual do you like? I can work on modifying Irgun to better reflect it

[kklouzal]

The old windows vista glass/aero theme ;) ;)

It'd be nice, but it's at the bottom of everyone's to-do list at the moment.
I know xterminhate did some cool things with his Advanced GUI Window system, somewhere in this section. It made the windows light up near the mouse, which was pretty, but he did nothing to change the overall boring look of the program.
I suppose it would be nicer if things were rounded off, but there's no convenient rendering function for that.
For everything else, you can take advantage of the drawRectangle function's ability to do a gradient, and use that for backgrounds.
hm...
