CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello everyone. I'm currently studying the structure of the scheme file crazy eddie uses. So far, I can understand most of the data on it except the window set (WindowSet FileName="TaharezLook" ). From the wiki:

A 'Window Set' basically specifies the name of a loadable module (.dll / .so, etc), and a set of widgets contained within that modules that you wish to register with the system.

Now comes the confusing part. When I install crazy eddie, I can only use two windowsets, one is the CEGUITaharezLook and the other CEGUIWindowsLook. The windowsets load as expected. But looking forward, what if I want to make another type of windowset? Can I do this? If it is possible, is it recommended or it is more advisable to stay on one of the given windowset types and just change the look and feel per application?

I can't find any specific post on windowsets here on the forums so I assume the people here use either CEGUITaharezLook or CEGUIWindowsLook and just change the picture files and the like.

If you want to change things beyond the images, like the text color of a whole widget class, you could copy the whole TaharezLook or WindowsLook to your own look DLL. Rename all the classes and the Look-Strings, compile it into your own DLL and change the scheme to use it. This is what we did.

Or you wait a little for CEGUI 0.4 (or use the 0.4 branch in the CVS) and use the Falagard look, which is completely data driven.

Thanks for the advice Blakharaz. I got lost earlier when I'm on the WindowSet attribute of the scheme files.
