Can you elaborate on this? I'm just wondering if we, the community, should be concerned by this statement? What sort of changes are in place?

Thanks

I've been testing 0.5.0 from the SVN trunk location, and the following XML code no longer works. Basically, it should render a child StaticImage window with transparent areas. The static image contains alpha channels which used to display the parts of the image that I was interested in. Now, nothin...

The link for this file download expired according to the yousendit web site. I'd be interested in seeing if the debugging tool works in VS 2003. Can you upload it again, please?

Thanks

Polls are probably a good idea, but the users must expect some changes when using a rapidly developing project. In fact, if backward compatibility is the biggest concern, using a project that hasn't even released it's 0.5 version is probably wrong for you. The developers at CEGUI work very hard not...

Yeah, sorry to tell you but 0.5 will break with some important 0.4 way of doing things. However Udim is already available in 0.4.1, so you can try to load your layouts in the layout editor and save them (in a different name), to see whether they are saved with Udim values. I think it will do that. ...

correct In 0.5 it has been removed.

Does this mean 0.5 will not be backward compatible with 0.4? I've been using the AbsoluteRect and RelativeRect properties almost exclusively in my layout.

Well, I just ran into another problem. I modified my code to inform the TitleBar to ignore the mouse events if the event has been handled; however I'm needing the event to be passed on to the windows beneath the title bar window. Is there some way of telling the title bar to ignore the event complet...

I had previously posted about adding a transparent title bar to a frame window. I have managed to do that successfully, but I ran into another problem. Before I continue, I need to set the stage. My purpose for having a transparent title bar is so that I can move the window around by clicking and dr...

How do I specify my titlebar instead of using the default __auto_titlebar__? I tried the following code in the WindowsLook.looknfeel, but it didn't work. I replaced "__auto_titlebar__" with "WindowsLook/FrameBkgnd", the name of my titlebar. <NamedArea name="ClientWithTitleNo...

One last question (for now). Looking at the existing WindowsLook/FrameWindow, there are many, many NamedAreas. Are these necessary to include in the new frame window? I've never fully understood the NamedAreas.

Thanks

Would the titlebar that I created above do the job?

Thanks for all the help with this. I appreciate it. What I'd really like to do is to have a window that can be clicked anywhere an alpha value is non-zero and moved about. For example, having a window with the image of a CD on it would be draggable from all parts except the center and outer edges. W...

Sure. Here is the line of interest. It was added to the WindowsLookSkin.scheme file. Nothing else was changed.

Speaking of FrameBkgnd, that is a new looknfeel that I added. I'm new to CEGUI, so it's very possible that I didn't do something right. What I'm trying to do is to create a transparent titlebar that fills the parent window. In my XML code that I pasted, do I need to have a FrameWindow as the overall...
