GUI SKIN

You'll need Cre8or Version 0.12b in order to run this correctly.

Cre8or v0.12b features the ability to edit the skin of ytour GUI, change it so you have your own buttons, mouse and textboxes. First we need to add a skin so go to "Game Project" -> "Add GUI"

Now we need to set the skin texture file:

For now I'm going to open the standard UI:

Here we can see how the boxes overlap on image:

You can move these objects around:

You can also set the values manually:


Over here:

We have the different settings, there settings should NOT be tampered with yet. In Version 0.13 GUI system will be more powerful

These settings here control the color of the different layers based on state. You CAN temper with this settings:

FS - means Font State
TS - means Texture State

Ignore HIDDEN and DISABLED since they're not really used.

Here's an example, this layer is of the button in it's normal state:

So because it's in it's normal state we want it to be invisable when the mouse is over it AND ALSO when the mouse is pressed down on it.

"A" stands for Alpha, OR Tansparency (0 means completely transparent)

Now finally when you're done with editing the GUI, you need to make sure that the scene will load your GUI, by going to the scene that uses the GUI and setting the GUI skin you skin object:

That's it for now.
