Hi,

I've integrated MyGUI into my engine, and I'm trying to simplify the usage and the look of the interface. One big this is the sliders; they look a bit too much like scroll bars and I'd like to make them easier to read.

Here's an example of what I'm aiming for:

MyGUI looks very different and I'm not familiar with the skinning yet... So a few questions:

  1. How easy would it be to overlay text onto the sliders?[/*:m]
  2. Can I easily remove the left and right buttons from the slider?[/*:m]
  3. Does the slider behavior support clicking on a point to set its position?[/*:m][/list:u]

    Any help is more than welcome.

    Thanks,
    Alex

How easy would it be to overlay text onto the sliders?Create StaticText over slider widget (child widget).
Can I easily remove the left and right buttons from the slider?Yes, look at HSlider skin.
Does the slider behavior support clicking on a point to set its position?No, it only support clicking on a point to move slider farther, but not in specific position.
