Talk:The Beginners Guide to Falagard skinning - Part II

Unified Area of the caret ?

I'm writing this just while reading (this great article :)).

In the part about the caret, when specifying the area it should use, you say this:

The third Dim on the other hand is new. It's now specified as "Width" and not "RightEdge" like we have done so far.
Inside we have a ImageDim for the width of the caret image we're using. If we had used the regular UnifiedDim,
the caret itself would have the width of the window and would have been very ugly...

This sounds strange to my intuition, as my intuition tells me that using the UnifiedDim the caret would have the width of THE AREA and not the window. Is my intuition bad, or did you make a mistake ?

Edit: Ok, while creating my editbox, I checked this, and now it is not only an intuition anymore, but a truth :-p I corrected this in your article.

Carat, not Caret (yes, strange)

one other thing I noticed is that although this thing is called a "Caret", in CEGUI the sections and so one have to be called "Carat", else you get an exception.

I changed this too in your article.
