Actually, skinning is more than that. At least under wxWidgets, skinning allows also creating basic callbacks for buttons (very basic scripting in xml), so that some new windows can be opened based on user's actions. A good approach for this would be to create your application's gui with a scripting language (like with my ruby's fltk2.0 bindings, for example) and use the scripting language itself as the skinning (or, use its marshaling capabilities at least for it). -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
