Cool, I've never heard that before. Well, you learn something new everyday - today's was Don't eat gravel. Razz

much faster.

For the translucent windows, In place of the background (drawbox), I did it in several steps. 1) screenshot the background 2) draw the normal backing on 3) take another screenshot 4) use Pic.Blend (to any given percentage) 5) draw it.

Oh Pic.Blend. I forgot about that. I've used mostly 4.0.5 so I don't really know about the 4.1.x features.

EDIT: A suggestion: for the locations of the radio buttons, you should have them relate to your frame instead of the window. e.g. if I put the x value as 0, it goes to 0 in the main window instead of 0 in your GUI.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion. Although I have pretty much stopped this project in Turing, I was thinking of starting it fresh in Python. I know there are quite a few libraries I could download - but I want to make one as advanced as possible. Plus - I wouldn't need to worry about speed like I do in Turing (which was a major problem when making special effects like drop shadows, transparencies, etc.)

New start, new ideas, going to be good. So if you do have any cool ideas for an awesome GUI let me know - I'm down for trying new stuff.

I'm sorry to kinda rez an old topic but I was wondering SNIPERDUDE if I could use/modify your code to use in this project i decided to undertake.

I decide to make a pseudo-operating system, this window code helps ALOT. The system will be able to create and run custom programs of it's own kind.

Please don't ask why I felt the need to do it, I just did lol

Sure thing, I can PM you the latest version I had finished before moving this project to another language - much has been done since the last post.

Just out of curiousity does anyone know where the custom GUI tutorial is?

A tutorial to create a custom GUI? Or a tutorial for this GUI?
For the former I don't believe there is one. Just comes down to learning Turing and thinking out the logic.
For the latter I think I put some form of documentation in the folder.
