patch to put background images on gui elements.

m4rvin · Post by **m4rvin** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:21 am

the graphics are taken from yahoo.

img = env->addImage(driver->getTexture("skin/frame.png"), position2d<s32>(0, 0));
img->setImageExtend(16, 34, 16, 20);
skin->setBackgroundImage(EGBI_WINDOW, img);
skin->setMargin(EGBI_WINDOW, core::rect<s32>(6, 6, 6, 6));

several frames slower than the normal gradient skins. but looks nice.

warning: the patch has a lot of hacks. the formatting tool i used (astyle) also dirtied up the patch on some files

Irrlicht looks better than Vista

Beryl is another story though

Indeed!

Anyway, does the [x] buttons work in the gui?

yup, everything works as it should.

Virion · Post by **Virion** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:45 am

has this been added into the irrlicht core?

BlindSide · Post by **BlindSide** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 5:29 am

no i doubt it, someone from the dev team should take a look at it.

Has it been submitted to the tracker?

ya the style looks very professional like vista and i think it is easy to plug it in the irrlicht engine in the 1.4 release

it would only work with my patch above.. i doubt you'd like to use it regularly though, too make unelegant hacks

but maybe the team could take a look at the code and add the same features

umm. tracker? sorry... i'm a bit new

Please avoid the reindentation to make the patch as small as possible. Moreover check that the new images don't collide or overlap (conceptually) with those already possible for buttons.
You can submit the patch to the tracker on the Irrlicht project page at SourceForge.

m4rvin, looks nice.

P.S.:

Indeed that would be great for Irrlicht to have 2 things:
1) gradient GUI style (actually it already has);
2) texture GUI style

yeah looking nice

a full texture skin would be pretty cool, someone made one once but it didn't have nice round edges like this one.
however, i'd like to make a flexible one that uses IGUISprites to store the edges.. but I guess first we need a sprite editor, IGUISprite to support masks for clicking (for round edges), and also to transfer all the clicking stuff over to the skin (so 3d skins are possible)
