Theming from Scratch

Post by SirWobbyTheFirst » Tue Sep 17, 2013 12:22 am

Hey guys, I've got an idea for something that would be a great extension to the improved theming support that is planned and that would be an easy way to skin components without the need to roll our own, it could work alongside the regular theme support provided by the platform and work in a way similar to cursor support by supplying a stack with a collection of images that would be used as the design for a button, scrollbar, etc.

It would save on a lot of extra work of rolling our own components and would allow us to quickly switch back to the host OS' rendering engine. Food for thought possibly. I know it is considerably late into the engine rewrite but it could be a neat little feature.
