There are a lot of files that go into creating a GUI with CEGUI.  Here is an overview (thanks to lindquist for the original version).  An expanded version of this brief overview would be quite useful.

==Overview of CEGUI resource files==
==='''.imageset Files'''===
An imageset is an xml file describing a set of images contained in an image file.
When an imageset is loaded, images from that file become available to the application via the ImagesetManager.

==='''.scheme Files'''===
A scheme file is an xml file describing the binding of widgets defined in a looknfeel file and the base Falagard widget set. Once loaded the component in the scheme file are available via the WindowManager.  A detailed description of [[Scheme files]] is also available.

==='''.looknfeel Files'''===
These are also xml files, which define the visual aspect of widgets declared in the scheme file.

Editor: none

==='''.layout Files'''===
A layout files is also in xml format.  It describes a set of widgets to create and the positions, sizes, and other attributes those widgets should have.  Basically this describes the final on-screen layout of your GUI.

Editor: [[The_"official"_layout_editor]]

==='''.font Files'''===
These simple xml files give the location of a font file (like a TrueType .ttf file) and define a few extra properties about how CEGUI should use that font.

==About Falagard==
Falagard is the part of the API that makes it possible to create a completly new set of widgets (at the visual level) from xml files.

You can, with a looknfeel, describe a widget and make it appear as you want (by using images defined in some imageset) and finally bind it to one of the widgets from a Falagard Base widget set in a scheme file.
