Widget rotation bug?

[Ident]

And may I wonder what/who is Cizion?

Absolutely nothing, iti s a typo, it is supposed to be "tion" as in "projecTION". Not sure how this ended up like this, I got no autocomplete/suggestions as I am on PC It will remain a mystery

Thank you again for your help!

No worries. I would suggest to just use an orthographic projection if that is what you would expect. I personally would expect a perspective projection, you would also see this in a lot of 1st person shooter games these days, especialy sci-fi themed.

And btw you said "did not expect CEGUI to use its own projection" - well it needs to get it from SOMEWHERE though. And there is no way to steal it from the rendering pipeline because there exists no notion of what is "the" or "a" projection matrix. It just computes.

Ok

Already and it works. I added code to be able to change projection matrix of render target, with perspective as default.

I'm not very familiar with inner kitchen of rendering, so I learn. Must say, I learned many things already due to open-sourceness of CEGUI. And since nearly every rendering tutorial supposes to use something like gluPerspective(), I had a feeling that projection matrix is nailed to viewport and everything that is drawn uses viewport's projection matrix.

gluPerspective is a (sort of deprecated) old-style function used for graphics programming using "fixed-function pipelines". We now have a programmable graphics pipeline that is used basically on any modern device and in any modern software.
In modern render programming you use shaders and the shaders will do the computations using the maths that you define in them. As such, a matrix you pass in there could be anything and used anyhow. Whereas gluPerspective was using the fixed-function state-machine based system to do exactly only this one thing until its value is changed again.

Therefore, the best way to offer options would be to provide an interface for people to set the matrix for CEGUI completely on their own (with a default that is used otherwise), basically the same as the change you mentioned.

On default branch we should probably add such a change.

EDIT: some additions about gluPerspective
