Hi all, I've made good progress with a skin application using Win32::GUI. I've attached 3 files, skin.pl (the application) and skin3.pwgs and skin4.pwgs (2 skins. Pwgs = Perl Win GUI Skin) The pwgs files are created by a script that I will share in the next few days. All info about the skin is stored in the pwgs file, including the bitmaps (compressed with Compress::Zlib).
The app is simple minded. In non-skinned mode, it does nothing. In skinned mode, it displays random data as a blue bar graph. While in skin mode, a right click will bring up a popup menu. A double left click will allow you to drag the skin (like any window). To use, save the 3 files in a directory, and run: skin.pl -s skin3.pwgs Or skin.pl -s skin4.pwgs The code is not real clean yet, and the script to create the skin file isn't any better. What would be nice is a Skin class added to Win32::GUI, but I don't have the expertise to do that myself. I've asked before if there is interest in working on a Class, but have only receive a few responses. Is there any interest in creating a Win32::GUI::Skin module?
