Glossy Serpent Skin for CEGUI 0.8

Postby dezGusty » Mon Jan 27, 2014 20:41

Hello everyone,

The Glossy Serpent skin has been updated to support CEGUI 0.8.
It's a skin loosely based on TaharezLook when it comes to widgets. This should allow it to be drop-in compatible in most scenarios.

Two versions are provided (you can get them in the same download):
- GlossySerpent (regular size)
- GlossySerpentFHD (somewhat bulkier widgets, meant for higher display resolutions... i.e. FullHD).

A sample project is also provided.

License: MIT.
Download links: https://sourceforge.net/projects/glossyserpent/files
And a screenshot (from version 1.1)

dezGusty out.

Hello, a new version has been released.

Version 1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~
Removed some un-needed meshes from the sample. Minor code cleanups
Added new widget: SimpleBorderButton.
Added new widget: SerpentScaledTopBorder
Added new widget: SerpentScaledBottomBorde
Added new widget: RailedGlyphButton (used only in FrameWindow)

Modified FrameWindow and SerpentPanel: these widgets now contain a subtle highlight of scales.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added new property to the FrameWindow: TitlebarSubPatternTexture, to draw a tiled texture over the titlebar.
(default value: GlossySerpentFHD/SerpentSkinTileDark).
To get the old look and feel of a window, please specify the following property in the layout file:

Code: Select all

<Window type="GlossySerpentFHD/FrameWindow" name="yourName" >
  <Property name="TitlebarSubPatternTexture" value="" />


- Added new property to the FrameWindow and SerpentPanel: BackgroundScalesPictureColour, default value: "4714120F"
To get the old look and feel of a window, please specify the following property in the layout file:

Code: Select all

<Window type="GlossySerpentFHD/FrameWindow" name="yourName" >
  <Property name="BackgroundScalesPictureColour" value="00FFFFFF" />


The highlight is based on a scale armour texture from here: http://opengameart.org/content/commission-medieval

Hello,

a new version has been released. This one does not bring any features, but it fixes some issues with the XML files used in the skin.
You see... I had forgotten to use a more thorough XML parser (like Xerces). So... sorry about that.

You may notice that this screenshot from version 1.2 doesn't bring anything new. But it is larger.

Version 1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a maintenance release.
Corrected most XML files. Amazing how many errors there were... and how anal the Xerces parser is.
Synchronized most looknfeel content of the GlossySerpent and GlossySerpentFHD versions. Now only some number values
should be different between the two (that and the name). Previously they were also structurally different on many widgets.

Download link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/glossyserpent/files/

P.S.
@Ident: thanks for the kind words :)
