Yeah, that's fine. Is there an initiative for a phobos image library? I have said before that I'm dubious about it's worth; the trouble with an image library is that it will be almost impossible to decide on API, whereas a colour is fairly unambiguous in terms of design merits. > The long term issue is that we cannot really move forward with anything > related to GUI or game development into phobos without it. > So preferably we can get it into phobos by the end of the year :) Yeah, I agree it's a sore missing point, which is why I started working on it ;) ... I'll make it high priority. I recently finished up various work on premake5, so I can work on this now.
