change theme on gui init

Hello, I would like to load and apply dark orange theme on gui init, but i dont know how to achieve that. I browsed through sources of themes demo and layout editor but no luck so far. Mb im just blind. Could anyone give me a snippet?

Cheers,
Luke

you need to pass it as parameter to the initialise() function.
In your case something like this:

m_gui = new MyGUI::Gui();
m_gui->initialise("MyGUI_BlackOrangeCore.xml");


Where MyGUI_BlackOrangeCore.xml is a copy of MyGUI_Core.xml with the MyGUI_BlackOrangeTheme instead of MyGUI_BlueWhiteTheme.

So now I got something like this


mGUI->initialise("core_theme_black_orange_tag.xml");
MyGUI::LayoutManager::getInstance().loadLayout("my_window.layout");


Yet it wont display anything now, not even the deafult skin. Perphaps im passing wrong file into the program? it loads other resources fine.

mygui.log

First of all, check my edit of the last post, I was slightly mistaken.

Secondly you are definitely loading the wrong file, but i don't know which file you need as you seem to use MyGUI 3.0, I use 3.2 and the file names have changed. But you can check what the default argument for the initialise() function is and have a look at that file, it should be relatively obvious what you need to change in there.

Thanks to your advice I managed to switch the skin, it was the lame way though. I simply swapped the gui texture in core_theme_tag.xml. Still dont know how to load other gui xmls from within my app & how to build one with proper, custom texture.

Thanks anyway!
