O.P. [Help] I want to create a new element, but don't know how.
I am having a go at the skinning engine, and seem to have the hang of modifying the existing contents pretty well. I finally figured out how to make things alpha transparent (argb instead of rgb :P). Now I am having a shot at making NEW objects in the interface.

Basically what I want to do is have an image stretched over the background of the logon window overtop of the existing background, but under the text and display picture and such. I am not to sure how to do this, and I haven't seen anything in the documentation about making NEW objects in the interface. Is this possible, and if so could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks :).

I will be covering stuff like this in the tutorial series I am making, so if you wait a couple of days I can have something that shows how to do it.

That will be wonderful! I will wait until you release a tutorial on how to do it :). I will change the stuff I can for now to get more fimilar with the engine first :).

Thank you ^_^. Looking forward to reading what you have.

there is already the first part to the guide up.

This covers the basics of UIFiles and gives extensive detail into what each UIFile does.

This should get you started while I make the others.
