A question regarding the update to 0.8.x
Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2013 02:32
Well, i'm updating my project in order to use Cegui 0.8 and its functionalities (mainly to solve this issue in an efficent way.
I've got a question unrelated to that one, though. Namely, aside from the syntax ones, have there been changes on the looknfeel operators?
I'll explain myself better. I have a button. Its appearance has changed between the two versions. I've edited the files manually (the migrate utility wasn't able to recognize the file versions) to update the syntax changes until it worked again. Beside those changes, i've also substituted the xml_schemas with the most recent ones, assuming it was required (was i wrong perhaps).
Except it doesn't work as it is supposed to do. By testing a bit i've been able to understand that despite the operators used in the relative ImageryComponent the top-center part stretches out for all the remaining width, covering the top-right part. Something that didn't happen in the old version.
Here is the code got straight from the looknfeel files.
0.7.x version
0.8.x version

Cegui's log essential section - i doubt it will be actually needed but i'll post it anyway.
The only warnings i get in the log file. I don't even think they're actually related to the issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
