Hmmm... why do they need to be laid out in fluid? My idea was a class that would be able to automatically layout 1 to 8 entries in the menu at least. In C++ FLUID these would appear as a normal menu, of course. Why do they need to be transparent? You can definitively have radial menus without transparency. Even then, why do you need to create OS specific code? My idea for overlays would be to draw the menus into an fltk::Image and then lay that out with transparency. > Anyway, if you are interested in reviving the code, I'll be happy to > send you what I have.

I would stay away from 2 and use platform agnostic fltk2 functions instead. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Xubuntu Gutsy _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
