CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/The_Beginner_Guide_to_Loading_Data_Files_and_Initialisation Take a gander through that. When you load a scheme, worst case scenario is that you can just give the complete, absolute path to the scheme file. You should be able to give a relative path from where y...

I haven't tested the following at all, as I just upgraded to CEGUI 0.5.0 and am converting some previous work, etc. But... Let's say you have a widget, we will call it FriendlyWidget: <WidgetLook name="FriendlyWidget"> </WidgetLook> In your case, you want to be able to specify some colors ...

What are the specific error messages?

The simplest problem tends to come from having your datapath for finding the schemes/looknfeel/imageset wrong.

Looking back, I do note that I forgot to mention that at the time of this post, I was looking for information in regards to CEGUI 0.4.1. We've recently decided to make a migration to Delta3D 1.4, which makes use of CEGUI 0.5.0. Having now downloaded the CEGUI 0.5.0 source seperately, I do see the sa...

You don't get large or small logos on bigger or smaller resolutions. If you are indeed using absolute sizes, then you are specifying the exact amount of pixels that thing will take. If you are running at a low screen resolution, that amount of pixels will take up a proportionally larger amount of sp...

Assuming I can detect the change what do I have to tell CEGUI in order to keep it from stretching the images when scaling? Don't use the relative position or size. You can position all widgets with an absolute position, as well as size all widgets with an absolute size. Also, you can ( should ) rem...

Do you happen to know which sample? I have looked in the src distribution and the sdk distribution for CEGUI 0.4.1 and don't see any references to Tabcontrols. It's wholly possible that I am going blind, however ?

edit: I see their tiling is rather...inefficient somewhere. A one pixel background tiled over an area is quite the killer. Luckily stretched is fine, though since these are just test images, I don't know what the future will hold. Whatever it is, I will just have to make sure that if it is tiled th...

I found my problem: case sensitivity. I was specifying Type="..." when it should have been type="..." And indeed, using RightEdge was necessary, of course :) Evil case sensitivity though :-/ edit: I see their tiling is rather...inefficient somewhere. A one pixel background tiled ...

Why is that the case? I'm not contesting it, of course, for if that is how it works, that is how it works. But that doesn't make logical sense to me. Still messing with the bottom and top borders, heh. If I use RightEdge and set an AbsoluteDim, I can see what I expect. So, I am obviously setting the...

This is kind of important, I think?

I also am noticing that the tab buttons - they don't seem to want to change size? That makes skinning fairly restrictive =p

Well, good progress on getting this. Like I said, your post has elucidated the situation quite well. I have 7 out of 9 [edit: 6 of 9, I forgot I have not done the middle] imagery component dones: TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight, LeftEdge, RightEdge. But, as much as I stare at my code for ...

I'm far from an expert on these matters but I would think that the 4 corners would always remain at their given size while the top and bottom edges would stretch horizontally, the left and right edges would stretch vertically, and the middle would stretch both horizontally and vertically. However t...

This clarified things a lot :) I was under a misunderstanding - a hangover from the way the frame components were done that I let mislead me about what it actually was doing. So, I actually need to create nine different imagery component sections because each of those imagery components actually def...
