I didn't use the overlay, but here is expedites main menu done in Ewl. Yes, I know the math is off, but that hasn't anything to do with Ewl. This is a custom Ewl container and Ewl_Image objects placed into it. It's actually pretty trivial to do this in Ewl. The majority of the example is figuring out where to place the objects. http://withinepsilon.com/ewlpedite.tar.gz If you want to import an Evas object just wrap it in a simple Ewl object which is also pretty trivial (http://everburning.com/news/small-as-small-can-be/). Which also means you can hook it into the Ewl code which reuses Evas objects when something is off screen. dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
