[Plib-devel] Is PUI skinable/themeable?

[Oliver C. <kre...@gm...>]

Hello,

i have some question about PUI.


I would like to use PUI for a game, but the
standard widget dialogs, that can be watched with the example tools in the 
plib directory are too ugly for a game but a nice looking gui is a must for a 
modern game.
So the question is, is PUI skinable/themeable?

If the answer is no, can this feature be added to PUI?

If you decide to add such feature i want to mention,
that it would also be very great to be able to use also SVG based
vector graphics for the GUI objects instead of just only simple bitmaps 
like it is common at todays other GUI librarys.
Because PUI is allready using OpenGL having support for
SVG based GUI objects would be IMHO a great win win situation for PUI
and Plib, no other game library has such a feature.
The big advantage about using SVG for a themable GUI is, 
that the file size for a complete theme would be very small compared to
a theme which is using bitmaps and because SVG is a vector format it 
could be rendered by OpenGL with hardware acceleration and would allways look 
good at every screen size.
So what do you think about a themeable/skinable PUI library that would use SVG 
as a  theme format?


Then i have another last question because their were some
changes in Plib to remove some of the glut dependency in the past.
Does PUI still need the glut library or can it be used without glut?


Best Regards,
